Mining trucks (over 100 tons) are a large class of heavy-duty freight vehicles designed and manufactured specifically for mining and heavy engineering applications. Their tonnage typically exceeds 100 tons, with strong power and carrying capacity, used to transport large amounts of ore, rock, or soil materials to support logistics and material handling needs in mining and engineering projects. These trucks typically operate in harsh terrain and working environments, with sturdy chassis and highly reliable mechanical systems to ensure operational stability and efficiency under high load and challenging conditions.
Technological development trends
Automation and autonomous driving: Autonomous driving technology will continue to be applied in mining trucks to improve safety, reduce labor costs, and increase production efficiency. This includes automated freight, navigation, obstacle avoidance, and remote monitoring systems.
Electrification and hybrid power: Adopting electrification and hybrid power technology can reduce carbon emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce noise pollution. Technologies such as battery electric trucks and fuel cell trucks will be more widely applied in mining trucks.
High reliability and durability: Mining trucks need to operate under extreme conditions, so future development will focus on improving the durability and reliability of trucks, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
New materials and lightweight design: The use of advanced materials and lightweight design helps reduce the weight of mining trucks, improve fuel efficiency, and minimize ground damage.
Improvement of safety performance: Manufacturers will continue to improve the safety performance of trucks, including collision prevention technology, driver assistance systems, and better visibility, to reduce the risk of accidents.
