《Report on Application and Development of Unmanned Driving Technology in Open-pit Coal Min》The relevant person in charge of the Information Branch of China Coal Industry Association said at the release site.：“The purpose of this report is to show the development panorama and potential in the field of unmanned driving in open-pit coal mines.，It not only provides a reference for the current industry practice.，At the same time, it is the first time in the industry to put forward the maturity model of unmanned driving in open-pit coal mines.，Provide reference for the development of the industry。”The report States，In addition to the intensive introduction of policies、Technology continues to mature and other factors.，Opencast Coal Mine to Enhance Safety Guarantee、Reduce operating costs、Improve operational efficiency、The demand for green and low-carbon development is also the main motivation for the accelerated landing of unmanned driving in this scenario.。The report shows，As of September 2024，More than 50 open-pit coal mines in China have completed the deployment of driverless mine cards.，The number of driverless mining cards reached 1510.。At the same time, the report emphasizes，With the digital transformation of open-pit coal mine，The demand for unmanned mining cards will show a rapid development trend.。
01
Put forward the industry's first「Maturity evaluation model」
April 2024，Multi-department joint release《Guiding Opinions on Further Promoting the Construction of Mine Intelligence and Promoting the Development of Mine Safety》，It is emphasized that the normal operation rate of intelligent equipment and system should be included in the key indicators of mine intelligent construction evaluation.，Promote fewer people in mine production、Unmanned。With the increasing demand for unmanned driving in open-pit coal mines at home and abroad,，Build a high degree of applicability、Large-scale mine driverless solutions become urgent.，This requires a mature sample model.。In this context，The report is the first in the industry.「Maturity evaluation model」，It aims to evaluate and optimize the implementation effect of mine driverless technology.，Further promote the intelligent and safe development of mines。
The model focuses on driverless mining Trucks.，This is the key equipment for the intellectualization of open-pit coal mines.。The goal is to build the science、Systematic evaluation framework，Combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis，Comprehensively and objectively measure the normal application effect of driverless technology in a single coal mine，Provide an assessment tool for mining companies。Through this tool,，Enterprises can more effectively identify their progress and shortcomings in the application of driverless technology.，And then promote the overall digital and intelligent level of open-pit coal mines.。
According to the report，The model index covers the proportion of driverless Vehicles in coal mining areas.、Normalization and no one、Driverless Vehicle efficiency、Distribution of application links in the mining area、Coal Mining/Proportion of stripping transportation capacity、Proportion of running mileage、Communication and data transmission capability、Safety monitoring and early warning capabilities and intelligent scheduling capabilities.。Based on the scoring of the above indicators，The application maturity of unmanned driving in open-pit coal mine is divided into five grades.（LEVEL0-LEVEL4），Each level marks the deepening of the application of unmanned driving in open-pit coal mines and the improvement of efficiency.。
According to the model, the unmanned driving project of the landing open-pit coal mine was scored.，Tianchi Energy South Open-pit Coal Mine、Guoneng Xinjiang Zhundong Open-pit Coal Mine has reachedLEVELLevel 3，That is to say, it has entered the stage of large-scale application of unmanned driving.。

The phenomenon of market head is obvious.
The market share of easy control intelligent driving is the first in the industry
In an open coal mine，Mine card is the main means of transportation in the mine.。According to the report，In 2023, the number of open-pit coal mine cards is 30000.，And predict 2024-In 2026, it will reach 31000 Vehicles respectively.、32000、Size of 33000 vehicles。In recent years，Cost reduction、Improve efficiency、Security guard、Energy saving、Under the comprehensive demand of carbon reduction，Rapid growth in demand for driverless mine cards in open-pit coal mines。The report indicates that，In 2023, there were 1131 unmanned mine cards in China's open-pit coal mines.，Increase to 1510 in September 2024。It is expected to exceed 2500 by the end of 2024.，Doubled from 2023。Future，With the digitalization of open-pit coal mine, the transformation is accelerated.，Unmanned mining card demand will continue to release，It is expected that 2026 will usher in explosive growth.。
At present，The main body of the market of driverless mine cards in open-pit coal mines in China is the solution provider.、Main engine factory andITComposition of three types of enterprises。The overall market share of solution providers represented by Easy Control Intelligent Driving is close to 80%，With temporary work、Trinity、Tongli、Zhongche、The market share of traditional mainstream main engine factories such as XCMG is about 15%。In addition，Huawei, etcITManufacturers have also begun to set foot in this field.。
At present, the phenomenon of head in the industry is obvious.，For example, the market share of the open-pit coal mine driverless solution enterprise easy to control intelligent driving is 42.5%，It ranks first in the industry。It is worth noting that，Although the traditional open-pit coal mine is the application scenario.，But the unmanned mining card is deeply integrated with artificial intelligence.、5G、Big data and many other core technologies，It is a scene accumulation.、Data-driven applications，So，“The strong are always strong”The Matthew effect will continue to expand.。
Different from other driverless technology application scenarios，Open-pit coal mines focus more on the transformation of driverless technology from science and technology to productivity.。So，In the future market competition，Efficiency of project operation、The ability of large-scale replication will become the core competitiveness of mine driverless enterprises.。
At the same time，The report States，The development of driverless open-pit coal mines still faces many challenges.，Such as outside the mine、Main line、Promotion of non-coal and other application scenarios，High temperature、Severe cold and other extreme environmental adaptation problems，Network and Data Security Issues、Unmanned mine card tonnage problem、Unification of industry standards, etc.。But with the further maturity of driverless technology.，And the rapid landing of integrated intelligent management.，These challenges may quickly translate into new incremental markets.。At the same time，The industrial chain enterprises represented by easy-to-control intelligent driving have begun to promote the commercial layout of overseas markets.，This will also provide a broader market space and opportunities for the development of mine driverless enterprises in China.。
