Huaneng Yimin Autonomous Mining Truck Project
On May 15, 2025, the world's first fleet of 100 autonomous electric mining trucks, Huaneng Ruichi, officially commenced operation at the Yimin Open-Pit Mine in Inner Mongolia, setting a global milestone for the large-scale commercial deployment of autonomous mining trucks.
EVLINK Q Series High Voltage Coolant Heaters are deployed in the Huaneng Yimin Autonomous Mining Truck Project, one of the world's largest autonomous electric mining fleet applications.
Operating in temperatures as low as -40°C, the vehicles require reliable battery preheating and thermal management performance. With high power output, rapid heating capability, and robust safety protection, the EVLINK Q Series provides stable thermal support for autonomous mining operations in extreme environments.
