In the global shift toward low-carbon mining, equipment capability is no longer defined solely by horsepower or payload. Operators now measure value by energy efficiency, digital intelligence, and long-term cost stability. The LiuGong DW105AE electric wide-body mining truck positions itself precisely at this intersection. Engineered for large-scale open-pit operations, it integrates high-output electric propulsion, reinforced structural engineering, and an intelligent fleet-management ecosystem to deliver a new benchmark for green mining logistics.
High-Output Electric Powertrain Designed for Heavy-Duty Mining
At the heart of the DW105AE is a 500 kW traction motor, delivering 10% greater tractive performance compared with previous-generation systems. The high-efficiency energy-recovery module recaptures up to 5% more downhill energy than typical industry solutions, significantly reducing electricity consumption over long duty cycles.
Peak torque reaches 4,800 N·m, ensuring strong response under full payload and stability on gradients of 30% and above. In real mining conditions, the truck’s energy consumption can be reduced to as low as 0.08 kWh per ton-kilometer, enabling substantial annual operating savings.
Supporting the drivetrain is a large-displacement hydraulic pump that shortens lifting cycles by 20%, improving load-haul efficiency during continuous operations.
Structural Strength and Reliability Built for Harsh Mining Environments
Mining transport demands uncompromising durability. The DW105AE is built around an integral rigid frame with a 40% improvement in bending resistance, enhancing structural longevity under repeated torsional stress. The cargo box uses high-strength wear-resistant steel plates that withstand abrasive rocks and high-impact loading typical of open-pit hauling.
The machine delivers a 70,000 kg payload, 43 m³ heaped capacity, and a maximum gross weight of 109,500 kg, positioning it well within the high-productivity class for mid-to-large open-pit operations.
Safety functions are anchored by a dual-circuit braking system that integrates mechanical braking with anti-rollback control. This redundancy ensures stable stopping performance even in extreme conditions. The front axle’s oil-gas suspension enhances shock isolation by 35%, improving operator comfort and reducing fatigue during long, repetitive haul cycles.
Intelligent Integration for a Seamless Smart Mine Ecosystem
What distinguishes the DW105AE from conventional wide-body trucks is its ability to operate as part of a cohesive digital mining platform. The model connects directly with Liugong’s intelligent mine-management system, enabling real-time vehicle monitoring, task scheduling, performance analytics, and predictive maintenance.
By synchronizing machine health data, haul-road conditions, and dispatch requirements, the system improves mine-wide coordination. Routes can be optimized dynamically, reducing idle time, balancing fleet workloads, and increasing the overall production rate.
For mines undergoing digital transformation, this level of operational transparency significantly reduces management complexity and enhances cost predictability.
