BEIJING, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- EACON Mining has recently secured its first iron ore project by partnering with Xichang Mining, a BAOWU company, to automate operations at the Taihe Iron Mine, which marks a significant step for EACON as it expands its footprint from coal, aggregate, and gold mining into the iron ore sector.
The project will automate 6 SANY's electric mining trucks, with a payload capacity of 70 tons, reinforcing EACON's leadership in sustainable autonomous mining solutions. This is the first phase of the mine's automation, with plans for a full site rollout following successful implementation.
In this project, EACON Mining will provide its OEM-agnostic autonomous haulage solution (AHS) ORCASTRA® for the fleet of SANY electric trucks, each equipped with drive-by-wire systems per EACON's requirements and standards. Alongside the onboard AHS system ORCASTRA® Pilot, EACON will deploy its full suite of AHS capabilities, including the fleet management system, ORCASTRA® Conductor and the crewed equipment & vehicle system, ORCASTRA® Crew. ORCASTRA® Conductor will also schedule the charging cycles of electric trucks for optimal efficiency and ensure operational continuity.
The Taihe Iron Ore Mine poses unique challenges, particularly in its crusher zones and loading area. The autonomy trucks have to share one crusher pocket and loading area with crewed trucks. And the limited space in these areas leads to overlapping paths and complex traffic flows.
By offering flexible and adaptable automation solutions with a low entry barrier, EACON provides a strong value proposition for miners seeking to enhance safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. With the global shift towards automation, EACON is poised to lead the next wave of innovation in mining technology.

EACON Mining Secures First Iron Ore Project with BAOWU for Autonomous Haulage Solutions
MARii, MIDA and EVAM are co-hosting the EV Conference 2024
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Following a successful debut last year, E-Mobility Asia (EMA) is set to return from 12 to 14 November 2024 with a comprehensive showcase of green transport solutions and business opportunities as electric vehicle (EV) demand surges in ASEAN.
The three-day event presents riveting insights into the trends and opportunities shaping sustainable mobility in the region in tune with its theme "Electrifying the Future: Transitioning Innovations Towards Mobility" at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
EMA 2024 is co-located with Sustainability Environment Asia (SEA), both organised by Derrisen Sdn Bhd, to advocate greater sustainability and synergy.
The two events bring together 100 international exhibitors from six countries and regions and over 12,000 trade visitors are anticipated.
EMA will provide a platform for businesses to showcase latest advancements and solutions including battery technology, charging infrastructure, digital mobility providers and automotive OEMs.
Delegations from India, Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan region, Thailand are expected to attend the show and join the Networking Night on the second day.
Over 60 speakers will feature in the show's conference programme and technical sessions in partnership with local and international supporting organisations from ASEAN as well as exhibitors.
As EMA Strategic Partners and Supporting Agency, Malaysia Automotive, Robotics & IoT Institute (MARii), Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and Electric Vehicle Association of Malaysia (EVAM) will organise the EV Conference 2024 on 12 to 13 November.
The conference will focus on accelerating EV adoption and growth, evolving charging infrastructure and landscape, advancing sustainability through battery management and futuristic ways and opportunities in ASEAN's EV markets, among others.
"As the Strategic Partner for EMA 2024, MARii reaffirms its commitment to advancing technology and promoting sustainable growth in Malaysia's automotive sector. This event marks a key milestone in Malaysia's EV ecosystem, supporting the National Automotive Policy 2020's goal of positioning Malaysia as a top regional hub for assembling Next Generation Vehicles (NxGV), including Electric Vehicles (EVs). With rising EV demand in ASEAN, EMA 2024 is set to attract more international participants, speakers, and buyers, further solidifying Malaysia's role as an ASEAN automotive hub," said Mr. Azrul Reza Aziz, CEO of MARii.
"EMA 2024 is a pivotal event fostering growth in Malaysia's EV industry, promoting sustainable mobility and collaboration. By uniting industry leaders, stakeholders, and policymakers, we can advance cleaner, electrified transportation for an eco-friendlier Malaysia," said Dato' Dennis Chuah, President of EVAM.
The continued backing of the Asian Federation of Electric Vehicle Associations (AFEVA) and its regional EV associations from Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand as Supporting Associations will generate extensive networking and invaluable knowledge exchange on the policies and progress of the industry in the region.
The ASEAN market is forecast to reach US$2.7 billion by 2027 from US$500 million in 2021. Sales of EVs in Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore grew by four times in 2023 and more than doubled in the January-March quarter this year from the same period last year.
Malaysia aims to be an EV hub and has targeted electrification as a key lever of its energy transition roadmap to decarbonise greenhouse gas emissions. Public transport is envisaged to be 60 percent green and EVs to comprise 80 percent of car sales by 2050.
"E-mobility is poised for more growth and it will be big in ASEAN because decarbonising is crucial for the governments in the region to meet their climate goals and foster a sustainable future for their own economic growth, transport and quality of life. EMA is excited to play a role in this green transformation eco-system and make an impact along with the many industry organisations which have come forward to support EMA 2024," said Ms. Vicky Tan, Project Director at Derrisen.
EMA 2024 is endorsed by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) and its agency, Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), which offers enhanced tax incentives and double tax deductions for export promotion.
