全球首套“零碳、无人、智能”露天矿运输系统投运

Core Insights - The world's first "zero-carbon, unmanned, intelligent" open-pit mining transportation system has officially commenced operations with 100 unmanned electric mining trucks in Inner Mongolia [1][3] - The introduction of these unmanned electric trucks aims to enhance operational efficiency and safety in the harsh winter conditions of the mining site, which experiences average temperatures of -22°C and can drop below -40°C [1] Group 1 - The unmanned electric mining trucks can carry 90 tons and travel 60 kilometers in temperatures as low as -30°C, addressing challenges related to battery performance in cold environments [3] - Each unmanned electric truck achieves a transportation efficiency that is 120% of that of human-operated vehicles, resulting in savings of over 24 million RMB per truck in transportation costs [3] - The deployment of these trucks is powered by photovoltaic green electricity from the waste rock yard, enabling zero carbon emissions during the transportation process, with an annual replacement of over 15,000 tons of diesel and a reduction of approximately 48,000 tons of CO2 emissions [3] Group 2 - The mining operation previously relied on over 1,200 human drivers, which posed challenges in safety management and operational consistency due to varying skill levels [1] - The unmanned trucks are equipped with a mobile intelligent battery swapping robot system that can autonomously replace batteries in just 6 minutes, solving the issue of battery replacement in extreme cold [3] - The mining site has an annual engineering volume of approximately 10 million cubic meters and previously operated with over 300 vehicles [1]
