Cabinless, emissionless vehicle foretelling underground’s autonomous future
Mining Weekly on Wednesday watched a cabinless emission-free next-generation mining vehicle autonomously load, haul and dump in an underground mine, without a human in sight. The cabinless design places emphasis on the extent to which traditional human operation at the rockface is becoming a thing of the past and the emission-free electric power highlights the urgent need for underground mining to clean up its act.
