It provides that 14 all electrical autonomous mining vans equipped to Taiwan Cement Jurong Plant have maintained steady operation for over three years. “Within the frontier discipline of driverless mining, now we have established a major first-mover benefit and a strong basis for large-scale deployment. In 2025, our independently developed pure electrical autonomous mining vans have been formally delivered to Taiwan Cement Yingde Plant. We efficiently deployed 12 autonomous mining vans at a mine operated by Taiwan Cement, which marked the primary industrial deployment of our autonomous mining truck exterior mainland China.”
It added: “In the meantime, now we have achieved scaled deployment at websites for a number of key initiatives: at Tianchi Vitality’s Jiangjun Gobi No. 1 and No. 2 open-pit coal mines and the Baiyinhua open-pit coal mine in Xilingol, Internal Mongolia, the place we delivered greater than 70 autonomous mining vans to every website. As well as, now we have deployed over 100 autonomous mining vans at China Coal Huali Hexiang Jilangde open-pit coal mine mission, Guanghui Malang open-pit coal mine mission and the Baorixile open-pit coal mine mission in Hailar, the place common unmanned operations have been achieved.”
CiDi continues: “We proceed to increase our industrial ecosystem format, and have achieved important breakthroughs in our strategic buyer relationships. We entered into a proper cooperation settlement with a core subsidiary of China Nationwide Constructing Supplies Group, establishing a deep strategic partnership. Transferring ahead, we are going to collectively promote the scaled deployment of driverless applied sciences throughout world mining initiatives underneath cooperation. In the meantime, our partnerships with main home mining corporations, equivalent to Guangna Group, Explosives Co, Taiwan Cement and Hongmao Group have continued to deepen.”
As at 31 December 2025, the corporate had filed a complete of 592 patent purposes and obtained 369 granted patents, it says additional solidifying its “technological
moat.” It added that the operational stability of its autonomous mining vans continued to enhance, reaching a efficiency degree whereby a single operator can oversee 100 autonomous mining vans with a complete intervention time of not more than 5 minutes throughout 24-hour steady operation.
CiDi continues: “In response to the demand for scaled deployment in mining environments, we initiated the event of a complete world mannequin for mining. By way of multi-agent simulation and data-driven pre-training mechanisms, we continued to reinforce state of affairs adaptability and deployment effectivity, thereby successfully decreasing marginal deployment prices. On the identical time, now we have developed focused new options to handle excessive climate situations, equivalent to heavy rain, mud storms and dense fog, in addition to particular working situations together with communication blind spots with no or weak community protection. These efforts ensured the steady operation and secure efficiency of our autonomous mining vans in harsh environments, additional consolidating the main place of our merchandise and applied sciences within the {industry}.”
Transferring to AI, leveraging the autonomous decision-making and dynamic optimisation capabilities of generative AI, the corporate says it additionally plans to develop the world’s first clever scheduling agent for open-pit mines. “This agent intends to deeply combine knowledge from all operational eventualities, together with driverless mining truck fleets, excavator loading, highway situation notion, and power consumption, overcoming the restrictions of conventional scheduling techniques that rely solely on predefined guidelines, and enabling an improve from ‘passive scheduling’ to ‘proactive clever decision-making.’ This agent goals to understand in actual time all the mine’s operational standing, and improve key elements of autonomous mining truck operations via world and dynamic optimisation, together with
