Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology has unveiled what it claims to be the world's largest hybrid electric drive mining truck, the ZTE520.

Designed for sustainability, the ZTE520 can meet the demands of large-scale open-pit mining operations with its significant payload capacity and advanced hybrid power system.

The ZTE520's dimensions, spanning over 9m in width and 7m in height, allow for a payload capacity of 300 tonnes (t) and a total weight exceeding 520t.

Its hybrid power system, which includes a 16-cylinder, 52-litre diesel engine with 2,100hp, is complemented by the industry's largest hybrid battery.

The truck's electric drive and high-torque wheel hub drive system are engineered to achieve up to a 15% reduction in energy consumption while maintaining a robust lifespan of more than 60,000 hours.

The ZTE520 can also work in conjunction with Zoomlion's large mining excavators.

This makes the truck an ideal solution for large-scale open-pit mining operations with annual production of more than 30 million tonnes.

“This synergy enhances operational efficiency and supports the construction of green mining initiatives,” Zoomlion said in a press statement.

The company independently developed and manufactured all key components of the ZTE520 truck, ensuring supply chain stability and reducing user costs.

Zoomlion assistant president Yuan Ye said: “The ZTE520 reflects our unwavering commitment to continuous technological innovation. It not only showcases our breakthroughs in the global market but also enhances operational efficiency and lowers costs for our clients.

“This advancement is pivotal in supporting the sustainable development of the mining industry.”
