Currently, the global mining industry faces challenges including complex operating
conditions, haulage safety risks, shortages of skilled operators and rising labor
costs. SANY’s integrated autonomous driving solution is designed to address these
challenges by improving safety, reducing operating costs and increasing efficiency.
Tailored to the customer’s operations in South America, the solution integrates 
autonomous trucks, roadside infrastructure and cloud-based dispatching with localized
operations and maintenance services.

The SKT110Ei pure-electric autonomous mining trucks are designed for high reliability
and availability with low energy consumption. Equipped with SANY’s fully in-house-
developed autonomous driving system, the trucks are designed to lower operating 
costs and improve productivity while reducing the need for manual operation.

At the recent SANY Group Mining Summit 2026, the company also unveiled its first
cabless pure-electric mining truck. Equipped with a liquid-cooled dual-gun charging
system, the truck supports ultra-fast charging while maintaining the range required
for mine-site operations. It offers three operating modes — on-site takeover, remote
takeover and fully autonomous driving — to accommodate a wide range of operating
requirements.

SANY Intelligent Mining, a subsidiary of SANY International, one of SANY Group’s
three listed companies, specializing in intelligent mining technologies, develops
systems ranging from drive-by-wire chassis and multi-sensor perception to AI-based
decision-making and cloud-based dispatching. As of July 2026, the company had deployed
more than 300 autonomous mining trucks, which had logged more than 13 million kilometers
of safe operation and transported over 41 million cubic meters of earth and rock
across a range of demanding operating conditions.

SANY will continue to invest in autonomous mining technology and work with mining
partners worldwide to improve the intelligence, safety, efficiency and sustainability
of mining operations.
