Description

Hitachi Construction Machinery's Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) enables driverless operation of ultra-class haul trucks at open-pit mines. First commercially deployed in March 2020 at Whitehaven Coal's Maules Creek mine in Australia with six EH5000AC-3 autonomous trucks. The system is part of the LANDCROS solution portfolio and is being expanded through a strategic partnership with Pronto for OEM-agnostic autonomous haulage.
