en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Shantui SKE105-X2 electric wide-body mining truck is performing efficient surface earth and rock transfer tasks at a large green sand and gravel production base in Guangdong, shuttling between the mining face and the processing area. This marks the first introduction of new energy mining transport equipment for this project, and represents a new practice by Shantui in response to the national "dual carbon" strategy, serving key national engineering projects with green equipment. The stone materials produced by this base will be directly supplied to major infrastructure projects in regions such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Hainan Free Trade Port, providing green momentum for coordinated regional development.
The mine roads feature complex conditions such as continuous heavy-load downhill gradients and sharp turns. Under such conditions, traditional fuel vehicles suffer from high fuel consumption, high emissions, and significant brake wear. The Shantui SKE105-X2 electric mining truck leverages the advantages of electric drive and energy recovery technology to achieve an efficient operating mode of "charging while going downhill with a heavy load," drastically reducing overall energy consumption and making it an ideal choice for green mine transportation.
In response to the customer's first-time use of an electric mining truck, Shantui assembled a dedicated team of engineers and service personnel to conduct systematic training and on-site ride-along guidance. Based on operational data and driver feedback, parameters such as the minimum warning battery level were precisely adjusted to fine-tune the vehicle to its optimal state. The SKE105-X2 is equipped with an automated manual transmission, offering simple operation and easy driving; the cabin features excellent sealing and sound insulation, eliminating engine vibration and noise, and significantly improving the driver's working environment. The vehicle employs a dual safeguard of electric braking and mechanical braking, ensuring driving safety under heavy-load downhill conditions and on complex road surfaces.
The design of the 40 cubic meter large cargo box increases single-trip transport efficiency by approximately 50% compared to the standard dump trucks currently used at the mine. Thanks to energy recovery during heavy-load downhill travel, the total operating cost of the vehicle is about 50% lower than that of fuel vehicles, delivering outstanding economic benefits. Customer evaluations pointed out: "Against the backdrop of persistently high oil prices, the economic advantage of electric mining trucks is very obvious. Moreover, the vehicle has a low failure rate and high attendance rate, fully meeting our production needs." Operators reported that the vehicle is easy to drive, quiet, and comfortable, greatly reducing labor intensity.
The successful application of the SKE105-X2 has not only enhanced customer confidence in Shantui's electric products and their willingness for future procurement but has also created a strong demonstration effect among key sand and gravel mines in the region. As a typical benchmark case for electric mining trucks under heavy-load downhill conditions, its operational data and commissioning experience can provide a reference for similar mines in the surrounding area.
