Development of Autonomous Trucks in the Global Mining Sector, 2021

This report comprehensively analyses the development of autonomous trucks in mining industry, future trend forecast, and key truck models. The report also provides benefits achieved from autonomous trucks by miners.

The popularity of autonomous haul trucks is gradually growing 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 May, 2021, GlobaData’s Mining Intelligence Center was tracking 769 autonomous haul trucks operating on surface mines across the globe. This compares to 476 at the same point in 2020, an increase of 61%.

The largest population of autonomous trucks is in Australia with 561, up from 381 a year earlier, followed by Canada (143), Chile (18) and Brazil (14).
