In a major leap for India鈥檚 mining and heavy machinery industry, SANY India has introduced the country鈥檚 first locally manufactured hybrid-powered 100-ton mining dump truck 鈥� the SKT130S. This significant milestone was marked by the unveiling of the vehicle at SANY鈥檚 manufacturing facility in Pune.
The SKT130S represents a new era in mining equipment, combining cutting-edge hybrid technology with a strong emphasis on performance, safety, and sustainability. Equipped with a powerful 925 kW engine capable of producing 3200 Nm of torque, the truck is capable to undertake even the most demanding mining environments. It boasts a 100-ton payload capacity and a 61 cubic meter heaped body, making it an incredibly high-capacity machine for the sector.
Deepak Garg, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of SANY India and South Asia, said, 鈥淭he introduction of the SKT130S is a remarkable achievement in our journey towards driving innovation and self-reliance in India鈥檚 mining sector. It not only supports the government鈥檚 鈥楳ake in India鈥� initiative but also sets new standards for efficiency and safety in mining operations.鈥�
As India鈥檚 first diesel-electric hybrid dump truck, the SKT130S is expected to deliver fuel savings of 20 per cent to 25 per cent compared to conventional diesel-only models. A key innovation is its regenerative braking system, which charges the vehicle鈥檚 high-voltage battery during downhill operations, enhancing energy efficiency.
The vehicle features an intelligent control module for smooth operation and a 10-inch central control screen for real-time monitoring and navigation. To ensure safety in harsh working conditions, the cabin is FOPS/ROPS certified, meeting global standards for operator protection.
SANY has also committed to further increasing localization of components for the SKT130S, reinforcing its long-term dedication to building India鈥檚 manufacturing capabilities.
This launch positions SANY as a technological leader in the mining space and marks another step in its mission to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions to India鈥檚 rapidly growing infrastructure and energy sectors.
