CiDi Inc’s 2025 full-year report shows revenue rising from RMB410 million as it scales autonomous haulage systems for mining fleets in China and overseas, competing with EACON Mining, Shanghai BOONRAY, TAGE Idriver and WAYTOUS. The company is deploying retrofit autonomy kits and full-drive‑by‑wire platforms on large rigid and wide‑body trucks, targeting multi‑truck fleets in open pits. Reported challenges include integrating mixed fleets from different OEMs, maintaining reliable GNSS and perception in deep pits, and aligning autonomy roll‑outs with existing haul road geometry and dispatch systems.

Tianjin Meiteng Technology has commissioned five XRT ore sorting systems for Tajik-China Mining Co’s lead-zinc operations in Tajikistan after completing trial runs in March 2026. The intelligent sorting line, supplied as a full-service system, is now in production at one of the country’s largest integrated mining enterprises. For process engineers, the move signals further uptake of sensor-based sorting in Central Asian base metals, with implications for upstream grade control, reduced haulage of waste and potential debottlenecking of downstream milling circuits.

Fortescue has approved a A$680 million investment to build the 200 MW Pilbara Green Energy Project in Western Australia, aimed at supplying green power to industrial users including energy‑intensive data centres. The project will add large‑scale renewable generation and associated transmission into Fortescue’s existing Pilbara network, which currently feeds its iron ore operations. For mine operators in the region, additional 200 MW of green capacity signals future options for lower‑carbon power supply contracts and potential integration with electrified haulage and processing loads.
