SANY Deploys Autonomous Trucks in Tibet

Chinese brand SANY deployed 60 autonomous 70-tonne SKT105ED battery electric haul trucks at the Zhibula Copper Mine in Tibet. Operated by Zijin Mining and Tibet Julong Copper, the mine sits at 17,700 feet where high-altitude illness affects 73% of workers above 2,500 meters. The fleet uses Eacon technology to manage operations remotely, reducing the need for drivers in extreme conditions.
