China deploys world's largest fleet of driverless mining trucks, powered by Huawei tech
Chinese state-backed energy giant Huaneng Group on Thursday launched the world's largest fleet of unmanned electric mining trucks in Inner Mongolia, featuring 100 vehicles equipped with Huawei Technologies' autonomous driving systems, as the country rapidly adopts driverless technology. Li Shuxue, chairman of Huaneng Mengdong, a subsidiary of Huaneng Group, said the trucks – named Huaneng Ruichi – represent the world's largest single deployment of driverless electric mining trucks. The initiative showcased China's advancements in 'transforming and digitising traditional industries', he said. The vehicles leverage advanced technologies, including 5G-A communications, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing platforms, smart battery swapping and high-accuracy mapping, according to Li. Tech providers include Huaneng Group, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group and the Beijing University of Science and Technology. The project aligns with a broader push by Chinese authorities and enterprises – from port managers to coal mine operators – to integrate AI and advanced communications into traditional industries. Huawei is a major provider of AI solutions for upgrading traditional industries across China.

The vehicles could improve 'overall transport efficiency' by 20 per cent compared to manned trucks, Li said.
