Description
Development of Autonomous Trucks in the Global Mining Sector, July 2024
Summary
The popularity of autonomous haul trucks is continuing to grow across surface mines, with miners taking advantage of improvements to productivity; reductions in accidents and operating costs; increased machine life and tyre life and lower fuel consumption.As of July, 2024, GlobaData’s Mining Intelligence Center was tracking 2,080 autonomous haul trucks operating on surface mines across the globe. This figure includes both those that are autonomous-ready as well as running autonomously. The largest population of autonomous trucks is in Australia with 927, followed by China, Canada and Chile.BHP accounts for the largest number of autonomous trucks, followed by Rio Tinto, Yankuang Energy Group and Fortescue.Caterpillar is the leading OEM, and Komatsu is in second place. Together these two OEMs account for 74% of the known brands tracked by GlobalData.
