Autonomous Mining Truck & Turnkey Unmanned Open Pit Haulage Solution

L4 Autonomous Haulage System, New-build Cabless Autonomous Trucks & Fleet Retrofit, Supported by Global Aftermarket & Spare Parts Network

This L4 autonomous haulage solution provides two delivery modes: brand-new factory pre-installed autonomous mining trucks (including cab-less ZNK series electric haulers), and retrofit kits for existing mining vehicles. The whole system supports full open-pit unmanned workflow: automatic loading, dumping, obstacle avoidance, fleet scheduling, mixed manned-unmanned fleet coordination, and multi-type auxiliary machinery collaboration (water truck, grader, bulldozer). The solution has large-scale commercial operation records and mature global spare parts & field service network, suitable for overseas large open-pit mines.

Important Note: This system is designed for open-pit surface mines only. Underground mining requires separate explosion-proof certification; standard autonomous kits cannot be deployed directly in underground gassy hazardous zones.

Core Key Advantages

Two Deployment Modes: New-built Trucks + Fleet Retrofit Factory pre-integrated autonomous mining trucks including cab-less electric models; also available for retrofit on existing mining haulers. Seamless integration of vehicle chassis, power system and autonomous perception hardware for better stability.
Full-machinery Fleet Coordination The cloud dispatching platform realizes coordinated operation of haul trucks, excavators, drills and auxiliary vehicles (water truck, bulldozer, grader), not only limited to haulage trucks.
Strong Extreme Climate Adaptability Stable operation at extreme low temperature down to -40°C, heavy dust, high altitude, steep ramp and tropical high-temperature rainy mining sites. Pure electric autonomous trucks support automatic fast battery swap for non-stop 24h production.
Global Service & Spare Parts Network Worldwide service stations and spare parts inventory across South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, Middle East. Local aftersales team for commissioning, maintenance and operator training, which is a big advantage for overseas mining clients.
High Safety Redundant Design Multi-sensor perception (LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, industrial camera), multi-source RTK positioning, redundant braking & steering system, remote emergency takeover function to ensure mine operational safety.
Green & Low-carbon Electric Autonomous Options Cab-less pure electric autonomous mining truck with high-capacity battery, regenerative braking on downhill, fast swap station support to cut fuel cost and carbon emission.

Suitable Regions & Countries

South America (Chile, Peru, Brazil, Guinea): Large iron ore & bauxite open pit mines, clients need complete machine supply + long-term spare parts guarantee.
Central Asia & Mongolia: High altitude, frigid open-pit coal, copper and gold mines with long haul ramps.
Middle East & Africa: Large limestone, gold and iron mines with labour shortage, hot and dusty operating environment.
Southeast Asia: Cement limestone quarry, bauxite mine, phased intelligent upgrade projects.

Working Application Scenarios

Open-pit iron ore, copper, gold, coal, bauxite, limestone and aggregate quarry
Large-scale surface mines requiring full set unmanned fleet including auxiliary vehicles
Mines planning green electrification transformation + autonomous haulage together
Mines that require reliable global spare parts supply and local field service
High altitude, severe cold, heavy dust, tropical high temperature & steep ramp haulage sites
24/7 continuous mining production

Project Considerations

Two options for customers: Purchase complete factory-built autonomous trucks, or buy retrofit kits to upgrade your current mining fleet.
Priority compatibility: Best match for our own mining trucks; third-party brands can be evaluated for retrofit upon vehicle condition inspection.
Global service guarantee: Worldwide spare parts warehouses and local field service engineers for commissioning, maintenance and operator training.
Phased upgrade path: Safety monitoring → remote control → L4 no-safety-driver operation, help customer control CAPEX step by step.

FAQ

Can we choose new autonomous trucks or retrofit kits for our existing fleet?

Both solutions are available. You can select factory pre-built autonomous mining trucks, or retrofit kits to upgrade your current haulers. Our engineering team will evaluate your vehicle condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

What is the MOQ (minimum fleet size) for commercial deployment?

The minimum commercial pilot fleet MOQ is 5 autonomous mining trucks. A 5-unit fleet is designed for site verification, mixed fleet testing and phased rollout. Single-vehicle technical evaluation is available for proof-of-concept, not recommended for formal production operation. The fleet can expand gradually after successful pilot test.

Can the system retrofit mining trucks from other OEM brands besides our own?

The autonomous system is optimized for our own mining trucks with the best reliability. Retrofit for third-party brands is available after full vehicle assessment including line-by-wire steering, braking and sensor interface inspection. Compatibility will be confirmed after site survey and vehicle inspection.

Does the system support mixed operation of manned and unmanned trucks and auxiliary mining machines?

Yes. The cloud dispatching platform supports mixed manned-unmanned fleet. It can coordinate not only haul trucks and excavators, but also water trucks, bulldozers, graders and other auxiliary mining vehicles for full-site intelligent operation.

What extreme working environments can the autonomous haulage system withstand?

The system is engineered for heavy dust, high altitude, extreme cold down to -40°C and tropical high temperature up to +55°C, as well as steep haul ramps, muddy and rough haul roads in open pit mines.

What after-sales and spare parts support can be provided for overseas mines?

We have a global service network with overseas spare parts warehouses and local service engineers across South America, Africa, Central Asia and Southeast Asia. We provide on-site commissioning, maintenance, fleet operator and maintenance crew training for mining projects.

Does the electric autonomous mining truck support battery swap?

Yes. The cab-less pure electric autonomous mining truck supports automatic fast battery swap, which enables 24/7 continuous haulage operation without long charging downtime, suitable for high-volume mining production.
