On August 10, a ceremony for the debut of the Zijin Longjing ZL230E pure electric mining truck, along with an investment attraction conference for the Xinluo District and Zijin Longjing mining and smart manufacturing industry, was held in Longyan. The event saw the participation of over 200 guests and representatives, including Longyan Deputy Mayor Wang Bo, Xinluo District Party Secretary Lai Jinyi, China Construction Machinery Industry Association President Su Zimeng, Zijin Mining Honorary Chairman Chen Jinghe, Vice President and Zijin Longjing Chairman Xie Xionghui, Zijin Longjing President Huang Wei, as well as delegates from Fujian Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, Fujian Academy of Mechanical Sciences, Beijing Institute of Technology, and core suppliers.

During the meeting, EACON (07687) and Fujian Longjing Lianhui Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Longjing Lianhui") officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will engage in deep collaboration across areas such as unmanned mining vehicles, smart mines, new energy mining equipment, and vehicle-road-cloud integration. Longjing Lianhui Chairman Xiao Degui and EACON Chairman Zhang Lei signed the agreement on behalf of their respective sides, with the ceremony witnessed by Xinluo District Deputy Party Secretary and Acting District Mayor Liu Ronghai, District Party Standing Committee Member and Deputy District Governor Xiao Guiwen, and Zijin Longjing Party Secretary Luo Rusheng.

Longjing Lianhui, established to meet the green mining construction needs of Zijin Mining, has accumulated deep expertise in the pure electric mining truck platform and new energy equipment manufacturing sector. EACON is a globally leading provider of unmanned driving technology for mining trucks, with its solutions already deployed at scale across more than 40 large-scale mines, including the Zijin Mining Zijinshan Gold-Copper Mine, Tibet Julong Copper Mine, and the Norton Gold Fields project in Australia under Zijin Gold International. Over 3,100 unmanned mining trucks are in operation, with a cumulative transportation distance exceeding 150 million kilometers.

This partnership will further integrate the technical capabilities of both sides in new energy mining equipment and unmanned driving, accelerating the development and deployment of intelligent solutions for new energy mining trucks. The collaboration will focus on three key areas:

Joint Research on Intelligent Systems: Leveraging Longjing Lianhui's pure electric mining truck platform, the teams will deeply integrate EACON's full-stack capabilities in perception, decision-making, control, and cloud scheduling to create unmanned mining dump trucks tailored for open-pit mining scenarios.

Joint Promotion of Large-Scale Deployment: The partners will work together to advance scenario-based validation and large-scale deployment of intelligent mining equipment, accelerating the engineering application of complete solutions under real-world operating conditions.

Joint Building of Industry Ecosystem: They will collaborate on core technology development and intellectual property layout, actively participate in setting industry standards, and promote the systematic and standardized development of mine unmanned driving technology.

Currently, the electrification and intelligentization of mines are accelerating their convergence. This strategic partnership will further enhance the synergy between new energy mining equipment and unmanned driving technology, extending the strengths of both parties into practical mining scenarios, and jointly exploring more efficient and intelligent mining transportation solutions.
