With Harbin's explosive popularity, Northeast China has once again "gone viral." As the eldest son of the Republic's industry, the Northeast's industrial development has always attracted much attention. At the Baoqing Open-Pit Coal Mine in Heilongjiang, the mining area has successfully made green flowers bloom on the black soil through green operations, and one of the secrets isthe adoption ofYutongnew energy mining trucks.

Galloping through the extreme cold! Yutong mining trucks help green flowers bloom on the black soil

Facing the severe cold climate of Northeast China, the Yutong mining truck YTK136E has overcome the low-temperature challenge with practical action, bringing to mining operations not only simple cost reduction and efficiency improvement, but also sustainable, green development prospects.

The Chaoyang Open-Pit Coal Mine has proven lignite reserves of more than 800 million tons, with a planned mining area of 76.8 square kilometers. Calculated at a designed capacity of 11 million tons per year, it can be mined for 80 years—a long mining process. Guided by the national dual-carbon policy and the concept of green development, choosing green, efficient, and reliable transport equipment is crucial.

After comparisons across multiple parties, the Heilongjiang Guoneng Baoqing Chaoyang Open-Pit Coal Mine purchased Yutong mining trucks twice in succession in 2024. In August this year, a batch of Yutong hundred-ton-class Yutong mining trucks YTK136E was delivered and officially put into operation at the Heilongjiang Guoneng Baoqing Chaoyang Open-Pit Coal Mine.

The Yutong mining truck YTK136E adopts new-energy Rui control technology, enabling the vehicle to travel without shifting gears under heavy-load uphill coal conditions. Its independent dual-charging technology and the industry-leading four-gun liquid-cooled fast-charging technology make recharging faster and more convenient, greatly improving operational efficiency.

The minimum winter temperature in the Baoqing area of Heilongjiang can reach minus 40°C. In the face of such an extreme environment, the three-electric system of the Yutong mining truck YTK136E can still operate normally, and the vehicle maintains a high attendance rate.

At the same time, the vehicle's customized control strategy can optimize power and energy consumption, keeping the vehicle in optimal operating condition. Under comprehensive working conditions, operating costs are reduced by more than 70%, and the vehicle attendance rate exceeds 95%, greatly lowering operating costs.

"In the mining area, the Yutong mining truck YTK136E can make about 40 trips a day. Apart from a short recharge during the lunch break, it basically needs no further charging all day—the efficiency is very high." The person in charge of mining operations was full of praise for the Yutong mining truck YTK136E.

The Yutong mining truck YTK136E also combines comfort and safety. The cab is designed for comfort, the automatic transmission reduces frequent gear shifting, and the shock-absorbing spring seats and rich functional configurations can greatly improve driving comfort. At the same time, the vehicle's braking system also has a high safety factor.

"The Yutong pure electric mining truck has very strong power when driven, and our drivers sit in it very comfortably. In weather of more than minus 20 degrees, the vehicle is also very stable with no faults. Our drivers very much like driving this kind of truck," said a driver at the mining area.

Driver introducing the equipment

In Northeast China, the Yutong mining truck YTK136E is measuring the development of mining areas with its wheels, witnessing the magnificent progress of the Northeast's mining areas. Through technology-led development, Yutong new-energy mining trucks continue to build efficient, safe, and reliable mining equipment. Relying on excellent new-energy "three-electric" technology and vehicle manufacturing technology, they have become the new-energy mining trucks chosen by many high-quality mining enterprises.

Across ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, a new chapter is written; riding the wind, development is pursued. In the future, Yutong mining trucks will always insist on resolving numerous challenges with superior technology. Empowered by science and technology, they will continue to deepen their presence in Northeast China, providing inexhaustible momentum for the green transformation and sustainable development of mining areas in the Northeast, jointly building green mines and sharing a green future.
