“Silent Powerhouses: Introducing the SANY SKT105E Electric Hauler for India’s Mine Sites”

With a 70-tonne payload capacity, the SKT105E is India’s first locally manufactured, fully electric dump truck—especially optimized for large-scale open-cast mines .

Operating with zero tailpipe emissions and powered by dual 440 kW electric motors, it slashes operating costs by up to 60-70% compared to diesel equivalents .

Designed for hot and dusty environments, the truck offers ruggedness with hydro-pneumatic suspension and full-hydraulic steering for operator comfort .

For Indian miners eyeing sustainable expansion, the SKT105E presents a compelling investment: though electric capital expenditure may be approximately ₹8–12 cr, savings accrue through dramatically reduced fuel and maintenance costs.

Delivering a lower total cost of ownership across lifecycle. Its modular design supports future battery upgrades or integration with site-level solar charging.
