This year is also shaping up to follow that trajectory," says Saurojyoti Ray, Business Head - Mining, Sany India while talking to mojo4industry on the sidelines of IMME 2024 in Kolkata.

Sany recently launched an all-electric dump truck SKT105E for open-cast mining. How has the market responded to this launch?

The response has been very positive. The first electric truck trial site received great feedback, with the customer pleased with its performance. We have expanded trials to other mining areas like limestone and coal mining, and the outcomes have been very encouraging. The electric truck has shown excellent savings compared to conventional fuel trucks, marking a move toward greener mining. The demand is strong, with numerous inquiries at this exhibition as well.

Sany has been a pioneer in battery-powered mining equipment. This electric truck is also made in India. Could you elaborate on its production and future plans?
