XCMG Machinery has delivered a batch of electric autonomous mining trucks – the ZNK95 Intelligent Mining Dump Truck – to an undisclosed open pit mine in Inner-Mongolia. The operation aims to deploy 300 units by 2026, leading to a reduction of 149,000 tons of carbon emissions and 47,000 tons of diesel consumption.
The ZNK95 utilises vehicle, cloud and network collaborative technology to seamlessly switch between short-distance remote control, long-distance remote operation, and autonomous intelligent driving modes. The autonomous system integrates multiple technologies, offering functions such as environmental perception, decision-making and planning, vehicle control, fault diagnosis, and vehicle communication.
XCMG said its machinery is capable of encompassing the whole mining site, offering integrated planning for constructors, vehicles, and the site itself, which results in centralized dispatching, visual command platforms, and smart scheduling.
