Pretty much standard in all modern mines. You either buy cheap second hand vehicles or new ones readily converted of the shelf.
Favourites for general transport are:

Landrover Defender
Ford Transit
Iveco Daily
Mercedes G
Jeep Wrangler
Mitsubishi L200
Suzuki Jimny

Wandering off topic but its quite (or at least fairly) interesting to note that the Belgians appear to use the same term for a mine as the old northern English word grove or groove.

Flemish is a Germanic language and so related to English, Dutch, German, and Friesian so it's not surprising they use groeve as the word for a mine or excavation. A proto-germanic word for digging will have given rise to the modern english grave, groove, grub (as in to grub out something) and grove in the old sense of a mine, likewise the german verb gruben and this flemish word. Linguistic history lesson over..... 😉

Follow the horses, Johnny my laddie, follow the horses canny lad-oh!
