On May 16th, at the 18th Ordos International Coal and Energy Industry Expo (hereinafter referred to as the Ordos Coal Expo), in front of the booth of Inner Mongolia Tiechen Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Tiechen Intelligent), Cao Zhichun stood in front of its proud TC136HA replacement product and confidently announced: "This mine card is a new energy unmanned hybrid mine card that we have worked hard to create, and it has now been put into mass operation in an open-pit coal mine in Xinjiang.". TC136HA has achieved safety officer disembarkation and uninterrupted operation in the mining area 24/7 in just four months, which is the first in the industry. We plan to install over 300 unmanned mining trucks in the second half of 2024
The EPC general contracting of well-known mines in the industry, this "new force in car manufacturing" has a really strong foundation!
This year's Ordos Coal Expo brings together numerous mining machinery manufacturers and unmanned driving system suppliers, including Komatsu (China), XCMG Mining, Huawei Mining Corps, Yikong Intelligent Driving, Tiechen Intelligence, Yutong Mining Equipment, etc. Among them, green and unmanned mining technologies have become the focus. In just six years, Tiechen Intelligence, a "new force in car manufacturing", has rapidly risen to become a leader in the field of wide body cars in Ordos, which has impressed journalists.
In just four months of entering the mine, Tiechen Intelligence achieved the safety officer disembarking of 71 unmanned mining cards; Subsequently, it gained the favor of state-owned capital and joined hands with Inner Mongolia Zhungeer State owned Capital Investment Holding Group; In May 2024, Tiechen Intelligence signed a contract with a new energy manufacturing base with an annual output value of up to 21.17 billion yuan, locking in the production and sales market of 10000 mining and heavy-duty trucks. These heavyweight news frequently make headlines in the news.
It is understood that Inner Mongolia Tiechen Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. was established in 2018. In January 2024, it completed a mixed ownership reform with Inner Mongolia Zhungeer State owned Capital Investment Holding Group to establish Tiechen Heavy Equipment (Inner Mongolia) Mining Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Tiechen Heavy Equipment). With the strong alliance between Guotou and Tiechen Intelligence, Tiechen Heavy Equipment focuses on the development of new energy and unmanned mining card businesses in mines. It is a comprehensive enterprise that integrates mining contractors, manufacturers, and unmanned driving system providers. Cao Zhichun, General Manager of Tiechen Intelligence, admitted, "Green mines and unmanned driving are products driven by policies. Only when the mines are implemented and achieve multiple benefits of environmental protection, efficiency, safety, and green, can the entire green mine+smart mine truly be implemented. Relying solely on the promotion of manufacturers is far from enough."
Seizing the Wind of New Energy and Autonomous Driving, the New Strategy of Mining Vehicle Veterans
With years of research and development strength, Tiechen Intelligence's product line has covered five categories: fuel, new fuels, electric, hybrid, and hydrogen energy. It has launched a total of 12 products ranging from 95 to 165 tons, all of which support 5G autonomous driving technology and have been put into use in major mining areas in China, helping to build green and smart mines.
Tiechen Intelligent Multiple Equipment for Mining Operations in Xinjiang
In Xinjiang, 71 TC136HA mining trucks of Tiechen Intelligence have achieved normal unmanned operation, providing 24-hour uninterrupted operation support for mining areas, marking the official launch of mass application of large tonnage new energy unmanned wide body vehicles in China. In addition, in multiple mining areas such as Ordos and Baotou, Tiechen Intelligent's products are operating steadily and are intensifying production of 50 new energy wide body mining vehicles with integrated charging and swapping from Shandong.
Cao Zhichun said, "As a local enterprise, Tiechen Intelligence shoulders the heavy responsibility of replacing new energy mining cards. We will actively respond to the government's call for new energy and continue to play the role of local leaders."
The reason why Tiechen Intelligence has achieved such success in a short period of time is not only due to its profound foundation, but also thanks to the leadership of Cao Zhichun, a technical expert who has been deeply involved in the field of mining transportation for many years. Cao Zhichun has led the technological research and development as well as vehicle design of multiple brands of rigid mining trucks and mining dump trucks, and is a well-known technology expert in the mining card industry.
Cao Zhichun said, "With the improvement of environmental protection and efficiency requirements, the demand for green and unmanned mining users will continue to grow. Tiechen Intelligence will seize this market opportunity and continue to provide solutions that meet policy guidance and market demand. Unmanned transportation in Xinjiang open-pit mines has achieved significant and stable results, and unmanned mining will become a development trend in the future. Tiechen Intelligence is expected to enter the top five of the industry in the next three years, and even challenge the top three."
Signing a new energy manufacturing base, leveraging the advantages of a wide body vehicle hinterland, and promoting Tiechen's "second entrepreneurship"
The outstanding performance of Tiechen Intelligence in the fields of green and smart mines has attracted high attention from all sectors of the industry. When Inner Mongolia Zhungeer State owned Capital Investment Holding Group launched the "mixed ownership reform" olive branch, the local government also provided strong support. On May 22nd, Tiechen Intelligence reached a cooperation agreement with multiple enterprises such as the People's Government of Zhungeer Banner, Inner Mongolia Transportation Group, and Beiben Heavy Duty Truck Group to jointly build a new energy manufacturing base with an annual output value of 21.17 billion yuan, further consolidating Tiechen's leading position in the field of mining equipment.
Believe in the future, Tiechen Intelligence (Tiechen Heavy Equipment) will continue to strive forward on the road of green and intelligent mining, writing a more brilliant chapter.
