At The Electric Mine 2024, Inner Mongolia North Hauler Joint Stock Co Ltd (NHL)’s Guojun Dong, its VP of Finance & Head of International Division, gave a deep dive into the Baotou-based mining truck major’s progress with new energy hauler solutions. He co-presented with Roy Zou, Group Vice President – International Division at partner Alta Technology, which manufactures traction control systems and provides electrical control systems and infrastructure for many of these new mining truck solutions; building on its wide experience in the high speed rail industry.
Dong went into some detail on NHL’s quite remarkable progress so far in supplying battery electric, hybrid and hydrogen mining trucks in China – arguably in terms of what it has actually achieved it is further ahead than any other OEM in these future technology rollouts. That this is happening in China is perhaps understandable given the vast market size – over 1,200 open pit mines in China alone. Plus it is also being driven by the ever greater government focus on greener mining.
