BEIJING, May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- EACON Mining has once again demonstrated its
expertise in the field of opencast coal mining with the
6th AHS contract. The latest project is the
Shitoumei coal mine with reserves of 10 billion tons and an annual
production capacity of over 15 million tons. Eacon Mining deployed
more than 20 hybrid and diesel trucks and achieved a fully
operational autonomous fleet in just 17 days.
EACON has deployed a total of 23 autonomous mining trucks in the
initial phase, which are organized into three shovel truck fleets.
These fleets consist of 13 hybrid EL100 trucks with a payload of 90
tons and 10 diesel-powered trucks with a payload of 70 tons, which
are used for overburden mining and coal extraction. All trucks were
mobilized by EACON from other projects. Both models were equipped
with EACON drive-by-wire systems and ORCASTRA™ Pilot, EACON's
autonomous driving system, at the LGMG and Tonly plants.
EACON has more than 250 EL100 trucks in operation, which have
already covered 7.4 million kilometers autonomously. The continuous
development of the turnkey AHS solution for coal mines ensures
rapid deployment within remarkably short time frames. As of
March 9, EACON has deployed the
entire autonomous fleet at Shitoumei coal mine within 17 days, from
initial setup to full operation, without safety drivers.
Elaine Jin, COO of EACON Mining
Australia, said: "In the coal mine overburden removal sector,
EACON's AHS solution has matured significantly, enabling rapid
deployment in similar scenarios and significantly reducing the time
and cost of implementing an autonomous haulage solution. Building
on the foundation laid in coal mines, EACON will extend its AHS
solution to metal mines, including gold and iron mines, in
2024."
