China's autonomous mining truck industry is entering a phase of large-scale development; by the end of June 2026, cumulative shipments had approached 8,500 units, with the industry poised to reach the 10,000-unit milestone by year-end. Alongside rapid volume growth in the domestic market, Chinese smart mining enterprises are accelerating their expansion overseas, making international markets a key driver of growth.
The domestic smart mining sector comprises two main forces: solution providers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Leveraging practical experience gained from numerous domestic projects, solution providers are exporting comprehensive autonomous driving technology systems. For instance, Eacon’s autonomous systems have enabled all-weather operations for mining trucks in Australian mines, marking a successful entry into a high-barrier market; CiDi has partnered with an overseas group to co-develop cab-less mining trucks; Boray Technology has implemented an "autonomous driving + battery swapping" solution in Indonesian mines; and CASICloud has deployed a full-mine automation solution in Thailand.
Meanwhile, OEMs are leveraging mature manufacturing supply chains to take their vehicles global. Companies such as Zoomlion, Sany, XCMG, SDLG, Yutong Heavy Industries, and Broton have achieved continuous breakthroughs overseas, with projects spanning resource-rich regions including Australia, South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Their deployments include electric mining trucks, autonomous fleets, and integrated solar-storage mining solutions. Compared to the domestic market, overseas mining operations face higher labor costs but offer vast growth potential, presenting immense opportunities for Chinese mining equipment exports.
As a service provider deeply engaged in the international trade of heavy construction machinery, Hefei King Kangaroo Intelligent Technology Co.,Ltd. is keeping pace with the industry's global expansion. The company serves as a key export partner for several leading domestic construction machinery brands, with operations covering over a hundred countries worldwide. Drawing on extensive industry expertise in mining and construction equipment, Jingangshu Intelligent provides overseas clients with one-stop foreign trade services—including the supply of complete machines and spare parts, logistics, warranty support, and technical consulting. This enables clients to easily acquire Chinese-made smart mining and construction machinery while streamlining the entire process from initial inquiry to final delivery. Looking to the future, as the global transition of mines toward intelligent and electric operations accelerates, China’s autonomous mining trucks and new-energy mining equipment are poised to embrace a broader international market.
