CiDi 2025 mining truck autonomy report: key integration lessons for engineers Reviewed by Tom Sullivan First reported on International Mining – News 30 Second Briefing CiDi Inc’s 2025 full-year report shows revenue rising from RMB410 million as it scales autonomous haulage systems for mining fleets in China and overseas, competing with EACON Mining, Shanghai BOONRAY, TAGE Idriver and WAYTOUS. The company is deploying retrofit autonomy kits and full-drive‑by‑wire platforms on large rigid and wide‑body trucks, targeting multi‑truck fleets in open pits. Reported challenges include integrating mixed fleets from different OEMs, maintaining reliable GNSS and perception in deep pits, and aligning autonomy roll‑outs with existing haul road geometry and dispatch systems. Technical Brief - CiDi’s autonomy stack is being deployed on both large rigid and Chinese-style wide-body dump trucks. - Retrofit kits interface with existing hydraulic and mechanical controls rather than requiring full truck replacement. - Full drive‑by‑wire platforms are being developed in parallel for new-build autonomous‑ready haul trucks. - Software must handle heterogeneous control protocols and CAN bus architectures across multiple OEMs. - Deep-pit deployments require robust GNSS augmentation and multi-sensor fusion to mitigate satellite occlusion. - Perception systems are tuned for dust, fog and low‑visibility conditions typical of high‑production open pits. - Integration with legacy fleet management and dispatch software is a key constraint on rollout sequencing. Our Take CiDi Inc’s RMB 410 million revenue base and its recent MoA with MMD Group to integrate autonomy into the TraxIQ platform suggest it is shifting from a pure software/autonomy supplier towards embedded OEM-style roles in materials handling fleets. EACON Mining’s autonomous Komatsu HD1500 trials at Norton Gold Fields in Western Australia, covered in several related pieces, indicate that Chinese-origin autonomy vendors are now proving systems in Tier-1 jurisdictions, which will matter for how CiDi, TAGE Idriver, WAYTOUS and others frame
