SANY Ships First Autonomous Mining Trucks

Georgia, USA - SANY Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., a heavy machinery manufacturer, has shipped its first batch of SKT110Ei pure-electric autonomous mining trucks to South America, marking the company’s first autonomous mining truck project in the region.

The shipment, dispatched on August 12, forms part of an integrated autonomous mining solution comprising an autonomous truck fleet, intelligent dispatching system and lifecycle operations and maintenance services. The project also represents SANY’s first deployment of autonomous mining technology in Latin America.

The SKT110Ei pure-electric autonomous mining trucks are equipped with SANY’s in-house-developed autonomous driving system and are designed to deliver high reliability, lower energy consumption and improved operating efficiency. The solution combines autonomous trucks, roadside infrastructure and cloud-based dispatching, supported by localized operations and maintenance services.

At the SANY Group Mining Summit 2026, the company also introduced its first cabless pure-electric mining truck. The vehicle features a liquid-cooled dual-gun charging system for ultra-fast charging and supports three operating modes: on-site takeover, remote takeover and fully autonomous driving.

SANY Intelligent Mining, a subsidiary of SANY International, develops technologies including drive-by-wire chassis systems, multi-sensor perception, AI-based decision-making and cloud-based dispatching.

SANY said it will continue investing in autonomous mining technologies while working with global mining customers to improve the safety, efficiency, intelligence and sustainability of mining operations.
