In May 2026, at the SANY Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park in Fengxi New City, Xixian New District, Xi'an, over 700 global mining giants gathered for the SANY Group Global Mining Key Customer Summit. On-site contract signings exceeded 5 billion yuan, with intended orders surpassing 10 billion yuan. At this highlight moment for China's high-end mining equipment, the hundred-ton class hybrid mining truck and the pure electric autonomous mining truck made their centralized debut—representing not only a systematic leap for open-pit mining equipment from "zero breakthrough" to "full-category mass production," but also marking that Chinese high-end mining equipment, represented by SANY, is comprehensively reshaping the brand competitiveness of high-end equipment "pillars of a great power" on the global mining stage through full-power route layout, full-scenario intelligent coverage, and full industrial chain independent control.

From "Hit Single Product" to "Full-Category Matrix": The Core Confidence of Complete Equipment Sets

Core Data: As of April 2026, SANY's hundred-ton class hybrid mining truck SRT100S has achieved a 33% market share in the Asia-Pacific region, ranking first regionally and among the top three globally. Exports from January to April exceeded 200 units; multiple hybrid mining truck models such as SET240S and SET150S have been put into use at leading international mines, with measured fuel savings rates of 10% to 20% and maintenance cost reductions of up to 30%.

Against the backdrop of accelerating trends towards large-scale and low-carbon operations in global mining, SANY has rapidly expanded from its initial "star single product" breakthrough to a full-category complete mining equipment matrix covering three major power routes: fuel, hybrid, and pure electric. The full range of large mining trucks displayed at this summit comprehensively covers large excavators to pure electric, hybrid, and traditional diesel mining trucks (including rigid trucks, wide-body trucks, and articulated dump trucks), complemented by a full suite of intelligent underground machinery including large-diameter roadway boring equipment, forming a "full-scenario" coverage capability integrating open-pit mining and underground operations. This leap from a single hit product to a complete equipment set enables mining enterprises to complete equipment selection and coordinated scheduling for the entire mining area through a single supplier, significantly reducing the operational and maintenance barriers caused by multi-brand compatibility.

Full-Power Routes: The "Green Engine" of Hybrid, Pure Electric, and Intelligent Drive

The two iconic new products exhibited at this summit—the SKT145Ei pure electric autonomous wide-body mining truck and the SRT100S hybrid rigid dump truck—precisely interpret the strategic depth of SANY's "fuel, hybrid, pure electric" full-power route.

SKT145Ei Pure Electric Autonomous Mining Truck (90-ton class): Integrates core capabilities such as perception fusion, end-cloud collaboration, and intelligent scheduling, supporting on-site and remote takeover, and fully automatic autonomous driving mode, with 100% independent control over key components. This vehicle can stably adapt to various harsh working conditions including extreme cold, high temperature, heavy load, and complex terrain, demonstrating strong environmental adaptability to extreme environments.

SRT100S Hybrid Rigid Dump Truck (Hundred-ton class): Equipped with a hybrid direct drive system and high-torque motor, overall operational efficiency is increased by 10%, with a maximum speed of 50 km/h and a maximum gradeability of 30% when fully loaded; equipped with a dual-engine range extender, high-rate battery system, and intelligent energy management system, energy consumption costs are reduced by 20%.

While covering the two main directions of hybrid and pure electric, SANY also simultaneously released a new integrated "Source-Grid-Load-Storage" solution, seamlessly integrating clean energy generation, energy storage, power distribution, and all power consumption links of engineering machinery, opening up the entire chain of mining equipment R&D, manufacturing, and service, and building a green energy closed loop. This is a system-level leap from "equipment energy saving" to "zero-carbon operation of the entire mining area"—the hybrid and pure electric platforms achieve energy cleanliness at the power end, while the Source-Grid-Load-Storage restructures the mining area's energy architecture at the park end, interweaving to form a "dual decarbonization" engine from single machine to mine site.

Intelligent Complete Solutions: The "Smart Transformation" Closed Loop from Mining Machine to Mine

In the dimension of digital intelligence, the smart mining solution developed by SANY integrates autonomous mining trucks, cloud-based scheduling, truck-excavator collaboration and vehicle-infrastructure cooperation, remote control, and map acquisition, adaptable to various intelligent mining operation scenarios. This solution achieves a leap from "single machine intelligence" to "fleet collaborative intelligence":

Perception Fusion + End-Cloud Collaboration: Enables autonomous mining trucks to capture environmental information in real-time, achieving global scheduling and path optimization for large-scale fleets through the cloud platform, breaking the efficiency ceiling of traditional isolated operations;

Truck-Excavator Collaboration and Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperation: Coordinates the operational rhythm matching between excavators and mining trucks, significantly improving overall traffic efficiency and safety in the mining area through intersection linkage and obstacle avoidance strategies;

Multi-Dimensional Safety Protection: Multi-dimensional sensors and AI algorithms build a digital protection system with millisecond-level response, supporting personnel detection, intelligent collision prevention, and equipment health monitoring. Machines autonomously collect point clouds and real-time video, forming an operational mode where "machines are responsible for perception, humans maintain control, and remote systems execute collaboratively."

To date, SANY's intelligent mining solution has been successfully implemented in over 20 large open-pit mines globally, managing over 5,000 intelligent devices, significantly enhancing mining operation safety, production capacity, and operational efficiency.

Independent and Controllable Industrial Chain: From Components to Full Lifecycle Service

100% independent control over components and full lifecycle service is another key signal conveyed at this summit. The key components of the SKT145Ei have achieved 100% independent control, while the entire series of large mining trucks are standardly equipped with core technologies such as hydro-pneumatic suspension and intelligent diagnostics.

SANY has also built a comprehensive full lifecycle service system—from quality assurance to secure and convenient service, from flexible parts adaptation to a collaborative development model of "joint layout, joint R&D, joint operation," providing global mining customers with high-value-added overall mine services and solutions. Component autonomy not only fundamentally guarantees supply chain security and product quality consistency but also significantly reduces the failure rate and maintenance costs of high-end mining equipment under complex working conditions.

Mass Production Going Global: Orders Testify to the Global Influence of "Pillars of a Great Power"

Market data confirms the global recognition of the complete equipment set strategy: From January to April 2026, SANY's overseas sales reached 2.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 72%, with business covering 110 countries globally, and particularly significant growth in emerging markets such as Central Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Relying on the China-Europe Railway Express logistics channel, the SANY Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park, as one of the first batch of advanced intelligent factories in Shaanxi Province, has become SANY's core manufacturing and delivery base for green mining equipment, undertaking the three major functions of rapid global supply chain delivery and input services.

During this summit, 8 domestic and 18 overseas mining enterprises completed contract signings, simultaneously achieving batch delivery of the 240S, including a batch order for the 220-ton class SET240S diesel-electric mining truck, with strategic cooperation continuously deepening. In this order structure, overseas customers accounted for nearly 70%, marking the commercial recognition of the global mining market for Chinese high-end mining equipment from "trial" to "bulk procurement." Jiang Qingbin, Senior Vice President of SANY Group and Chairman of SANY Heavy Equipment, pointed out in his summit speech: "Only by creating greater value for customers can we have greater value!"

"Pillars of a Great Power" Leap Towards Systematic Industrial Capability

From a single hit product to a full-category matrix, from fuel equipment to full-power coverage, from single machine intelligence to intelligent mine clusters—the evolution of SANY's complete mining equipment sets reflects the systematic capability leap of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry from "import substitution" to "independent definition." Against the backdrop of Xixian New District accelerating the construction of a "four-chain integration" industrial ecosystem and the cluster effect formed by upstream and downstream supporting enterprises led by SANY, China's mining equipment industry is moving from "single product competitiveness" towards a full-stack competitive advantage of "technical standard output, complete equipment delivery, and global service network."

Looking to the future, SANY will continue to focus on core electric powertrain components, AI-assisted operations, unmanned construction, and integrated mining equipment, aiming to further improve the intelligent product matrix and expand large-scale commercial deployment. From "Made in China" to "Chinese Standards," this mass production solution for "pillars of a great power," covering R&D, manufacturing, intelligence, and full lifecycle services, is continuously empowering the global mining industry to advance at full speed towards a greener, smarter, and lower-carbon future.
