CiDi, Hong Kong-listed company, has reported more than 1,900 cumulative shipments of autonomous mining trucks, as the Chinese technology company expands deployments across nearly 40 mines worldwide.
The figure represents a 213% increase from the same period a year earlier, according to CiDi’s interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026.

The company said seven mines are now routinely operating fleets of more than 100 autonomous mining trucks, while the largest deployment at a single mine exceeds 220 vehicles.
CiDi said its autonomous mining solution, MetaMine, supports unmanned haulage across multiple mining workflows, including overburden stripping, coal loading and hauling, waste-dump transportation, energy replenishment and crusher feeding.
The company secured an order for 500 autonomous mining trucks from Guangna Group in February 2026. CiDi described the agreement as the “world’s largest single formal procurement order” in the autonomous mining truck sector.
Beyond mining, CiDi said it secured domestic and overseas orders for more than 400 autonomous logistics trucks during the first half of 2026, with some vehicles already delivered for commercial trials.
The company’s wider autonomous driving business remained its main source of revenue. Revenue from the segment increased 107% year on year to RMB784m during the first half, accounting for 97.6% of CiDi’s total revenue.
Overall revenue reached RMB804m, up 97% year on year. Gross profit increased 204% to RMB212m, while gross margin rose from 17% to 26%.
CiDi’s adjusted net loss narrowed 82% year on year to approximately RMB19.68m. The company said its cash and cash equivalents reached RMB1.214bn at the end of the reporting period, compared with RMB186m a year earlier.
The company is also extending its technology platform beyond autonomous haulage into mining robotics. Its Task Robotics business generated RMB3.082m in its first commercial revenue during the period, while CiDi shipped 34 robo-excavators.
The company said an open-pit explosives-charging robot had entered production, a metallurgical ladle robot had entered operation and an underground mining and tunnelling robot had completed design, development and manufacturing.
CiDi CEO Albert Hu said the company’s heavy-duty embodied AI business was moving from “scaled deployment to value realisation”, with the technology being extended from autonomous driving into operational robotics.
The company said it plans to accelerate deployment of specialised robots for excavation, drilling and charging in mining. It is also targeting international markets including Australia, Brazil and Indonesia, followed by Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East.
CiDi said its underlying technology platform had supported more than 2,000 intelligent machines in commercial operations for a cumulative period exceeding 1,300 days by the end of June.
The company said these deployments had recorded zero safety accidents.
