The company has deployed nearly 1,500 autonomous trucks across over 20 sites, including five with more than 100 trucks and three with over 200, achieving scaled commercialization in coal, metals, and aggregates in China. It operates R&D centers in Beijing, Shanghai, and Zhengzhou, with service networks in China and Australia, delivering end-to-end support from system integration to maintenance.
