EACON Mining Technology\u2019s autonomous solution has now been deployed on more than 1500 battery-electric mining trucks, making battery-electric vehicles the largest single powertrain category across EACON\u2019s autonomous fleet.<\/p>\n

\"EACON's<\/p>\n

As of early September 2026, battery-electric trucks now account for approximately 42% of the fleet, followed by diesel hybrid-electric vehicles at 41% and methanol hybrids at 16%, while conventional internal combustion engine trucks represent less than 1%.
\nThe milestone represents rapid growth in EACON’s battery-electric autonomous fleet, which has nearly doubled in less than six months \u2013 expanding from 800 trucks in March 2026 to more than 1500 today. \n<\/p>\n

As these fleets grow, the interaction between autonomy and electrification becomes increasingly important. Electric haulage requires mines to consider not only how trucks operate, but when and where they charge, how energy is used and recovered, and how these requirements fit around production.<\/p>\n

EACON works with mine operators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate its ORCASTRA\u00ae autonomous haulage system with the trucks selected for each operation, allowing autonomy to support different equipment and powertrain strategies.<\/p>\n

Coordinating charging with production
\n<\/h3>\n

For mines operating around the clock, one of the practical challenges of electrification is coordinating charging without unnecessarily interrupting haulage. EACON\u2019s fleet management technology considers battery levels, predicted energy consumption, charging station availability, and production requirements when scheduling charging. Trucks can autonomously navigate to charging areas, position at charging bays, and return to haulage after charging is complete. \n<\/p>\n

At CHN Energy\u2019s Zhundong Open-Pit Coal Mine, 120 battery-electric trucks equipped with EACON\u2019s ORCASTRA system operate with 28 charging points. Coordinating charging across the fleet helps manage shared charging infrastructure while supporting continuous haulage.<\/p>\n

Operating across diverse and demanding environments
\n<\/h3>\n

Battery-electric autonomous haulage is also operating at scale in challenging metal mining environments.
\nAt Zijin Mining\u2019s Julong Copper Mine, 60 battery-electric autonomous trucks are in regular operation at high altitude, with an attendance rate of more than 90%. Conditions can include low atmospheric pressure, extreme cold, snow and freeze-thaw cycles.
\nEACON’s autonomous driving technology combines 360\u00ba perception with distributed braking and adaptive vehicle control to support stable operation under these conditions.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, EACON announced an expansion at China Baowu Steel Group\u2019s Taihe Iron Ore Mine in March 2026, adding autonomy to 12 further battery-electric trucks following more than a year of operation with the initial six.
\nTogether, these deployments show battery-electric autonomy progressing from individual deployments to larger fleets operating across different commodities and mine environments. \n<\/p>\n

Energy recovery in battery-electric haulage
\n<\/h3>\n

Autonomous vehicle control can also make energy use across the haul cycle more consistent and measurable. Compared with manual operation, where driving behaviour can vary between operators, autonomous control enables more consistent speed and trajectory planning, helping make energy consumption more predictable. <\/p>\n

Battery-electric haul trucks can also recover energy during deceleration and downhill travel through regenerative braking, reducing reliance on mechanical braking and helping improve overall energy efficiency.
\nAt Shougang Group\u2019s Shuichang Iron Ore Mine, results published in February 2026 reported more than 11 million t hauled and approximately 386 000 kWh of energy recovered through regenerative braking.<\/p>\n

Scaling autonomous electric haulage<\/h3>\n

In less than six months, the number of battery-electric trucks equipped with EACON\u2019s technology has nearly doubled, reflecting the increasing scale of autonomous electric haulage in production.
\nAcross these operations, autonomy is supporting some of the practical requirements that come with electrification \u2013 from coordinating charging across large fleets to supporting consistent vehicle control and energy recovery. \n<\/p>\n

EACON\u2019s growing deployment base provides practical operating experience in integrating autonomy and electrification across different equipment, commodities and mine environments. As miners continue to evaluate and expand battery-electric haulage, this experience can help operators progress their electrification and decarbonisation objectives.<\/p>\n
