Recently, over 100 mining trucks equipped with Yuchai YCK16 engines and range-extender powertrain systems have been delivered in batches to a major iron mine in Peru. This marks another milestone for Chinese mining equipment in overseas markets and injects new vitality into the development of local green mines.
As the global mining industry advances toward higher efficiency and sustainability, overseas customers have seen a rising demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly transport equipment. Fitted with the YCK16 engine and range-extender powertrain, these trucks deliver strong power while featuring excellent energy conservation and environmental performance. Equipped with an electric drive and energy recovery system, the vehicles maintain superior load capacity and reliability, while drastically reducing fuel consumption and harmful emissions as well as operational costs. They provide an efficient and eco-friendly integrated solution for green mine development.
A senior official of the Peruvian mining site stated: "After rigorous comparison and testing, these mining trucks have shown outstanding performance in reliability, site adaptability and transportation efficiency. The range-extender powertrain has significantly cut operational costs and provided strong support for the mine's green and high-efficiency mining."
In recent years, Yuchai engines have been exported in large quantities to South American countries including Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador, forming a full product lineup covering off-highway wide-body dump trucks, mining vehicles and new energy wide-body trucks. This breakthrough into Peru's high-end market creates favorable conditions for Yuchai to further deepen its presence in South America and expand across the Americas. It also further enhances the international influence of Intelligent Manufacturing in China.
