CiDi–E-Power–Zoomlion smart mines: autonomy and electrification lens for engineers Reviewed by Tom Sullivan First reported on International Mining – News 30 Second Briefing CiDi Inc has signed cooperation agreements with E-Power and Zoomlion to develop integrated “intelligent + equipment + operation” smart mine systems, combining CiDi’s autonomous haulage and fleet management with Zoomlion’s heavy mining equipment and E-Power’s powertrain and electrification technologies. The partners will jointly design and adapt intelligent trucks and auxiliary equipment for specific mine conditions, including customised drive systems and control interfaces. Benchmark demonstration projects are planned to validate large-scale autonomous haulage, energy management, and coordinated dispatch in complex open-pit environments. Technical Brief - Agreements signed on 10 June formalise long-term technical cooperation rather than one-off supply contracts. - CiDi is designated as overall system integrator, coordinating vehicle intelligence, fleet control and site operations. - Zoomlion’s role centres on chassis, mechanical systems and heavy mining equipment platforms for intelligent retrofits. - E-Power focuses on electric drive, battery, hybrid and high-voltage powertrain integration for mining duty cycles. - Joint R&D scope includes matching traction characteristics, braking systems and control buses between autonomy kits and OEM platforms. - Customised adaptation explicitly covers auxiliary units such as water trucks, service vehicles and support equipment, not only haul trucks. - Benchmark projects are framed as full life-of-mine “build–operate–optimise” collaborations, not just pilot testbeds. - For other open pits, the model points toward OEM–autonomy–powertrain tripartite contracts replacing bilateral truck supply deals. Our Take CiDi Inc’s 2025 full-year report in our database shows it scaling autonomous haulage both in China and overseas, so this three-way collaboration with E-Power and Zoomlion likely aims to lock in OEM and powertrain channels rather than relying only on retrofit fleets. The recent Memorandum of Agreement between MMD Group and CiDi to add driverless capability to TraxIQ indicates

Amazon Hogs the Road As Freight Speeds Toward the Future The company is opening up its less-than-truckload service to all businesses, letting anyone reserve space by the pallet in its trucks. Sign up for smart news, insights, and analysis on the biggest financial stories of the day. Big rigs are expected to bring in big money for the companies building the trucks and the ones managing what’s in them and who drives them — if anyone does at all. Amazon yesterday announced it’s opening up its less-than-truckload services to all businesses, letting any company reserve space by the pallet in its freight trucks. Stocks of shipping companies like UPS and FedEx fell after the announcement. Amazon already dominates the last mile, with its local drivers out-delivering UPS, FedEx and USPS in terms of volume, ShipMatrix found. Now it wants the miles before that. Ghost Trucks Incoming Third-party logistics as a global market is worth more than $1.3 trillion, estimated Armstrong & Associates. Amazon’s been buying up trucks to own more of the road, and its Amazon Relay service acts as an Uber-style app for truck drivers to book gigs. But with truck-driving facing a persistent labor shortage, two of Amazon’s partners yesterday pressed the pedal down on a driverless future: - Volvo, which has supplied heavy-duty electric trucks to Amazon in the past, laid out yesterday ambitious expectations for its autonomous truck biz. The vehicle-maker said it expects to start putting robo-trucks on US roads within months and have 300 trucks operating stateside by the end of next year. Volvo’s aiming to bring in $3 billion from its autonomous biz in five years. - Also yesterday, autonomous trucking company Einride saw its stock upshift nearly 90% after going public on the Nasdaq. The acceleration was so aggressive that Nasdaq put

Hang Seng Tech Index falls over 2% as Asian tech selloff deepens Hong Kong's benchmark tech index dropped 2.71% to 4,755.91 points amid a broader rout in AI and semiconductor stocks Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Tech Index slid 2.71% on June 8, closing at 4,755.91 points. The HSTECH, which tracks 30 major Hong Kong-listed technology companies, didn’t fall in isolation. The broader Hang Seng Index dropped 1.22% to 24,657 points, while the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index declined 1.13%. But tech bore the brunt. AI and chip stocks led the bleeding The worst performers were concentrated in artificial intelligence and semiconductor names. MiniMax-W fell over 8% in a single session. GigaDevice Semiconductor fell approximately 3.87%. MiniMax is one of the AI companies recently tapped for inclusion in the HSTECH index, alongside peers like Zhipu AI. The selloff traces back to a familiar cocktail of macro anxieties. In the US, disappointing earnings from major semiconductor firms, including Broadcom, triggered a pullback in the American tech sector. Adding fuel to the fire: rising oil prices tied to escalating geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel. Markets are pricing in roughly a 70% probability of a US rate hike in 2026, which is a significant shift from the dovish expectations that dominated earlier in the year. A persistent downtrend, not a one-day blip The HSTECH has been in persistent decline for most of 2026. Year-to-date losses have exceeded 10%, and by some measures the index has fallen more than 30% from its October 2025 high. What this means for crypto investors The 70% implied probability of a Fed rate hike is the number to watch. Higher rates mean higher yields on safe assets like Treasuries, which compete directly with speculative investments for capital. When a 10-year Treasury offers a juicy yield, the opportunity cost

Einride's Nasdaq debut gave investors a clean way to buy into autonomous freight, but the company is still much closer to an electric logistics operator than a scaled self-driving trucking network. Einride began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker ENRD on June 10 after completing its merger with Legato Merger Corp. III, and the market response was anything but modest. Shares reportedly climbed as much as 240% intraday before closing up about 50%, a sharp first-day move for a freight technology company with roughly 200 electric trucks and only a small number of fully autonomous vehicles in live use. That is the story worth watching. The market is not simply valuing Einride on what it operates today. It is assigning a price to the possibility that the Swedish company can turn electric freight routes, autonomous trucks, and logistics software into a network that large customers actually depend on. The deal itself gives that argument some weight. As The Wall Street Journal reported, the merger valued Einride at $1.35 billion before proceeds from the transaction, after an earlier SPAC agreement had put the company at $1.8 billion. Einride also raised $113 million earlier this year from investors including EQT Ventures, giving it fresh capital to support technology development, commercial expansion, and more autonomous deployments. That capital matters because this is not a software company that can scale mostly through servers and sales teams. Freight is physical. Trucks have to be bought or financed, charging infrastructure has to be placed where routes actually run, and autonomy has to be proven in the dull, repetitive, weather-exposed reality of logistics. A public listing gives Einride more visibility, but the business still has to do the hard operational work route by route. Einride does have something many autonomous transport companies have lacked: commercial customers already

Volvo targets $3 billion in autonomous revenue in next five years Volvo Autonomous Solutions is targeting driverless on-highway operations in the United States by the first quarter of 2027 and expects to reach $3 billion in revenue by the end of 2031. That was the message from Volvo Group at its Capital Markets Day in Sweden on June 10. Last month, Volvo and Aurora Innovation announced the expansion of their autonomous freight network with a new 200-mile route between Dallas and Oklahoma City. Volvo also announced the start of autonomous freight operations with DSV in Texas. Nils Jaeger, president of Volvo Autonomous Solutions, said autonomous trucks could double vehicle utilization by operating beyond the current hours-of-service rules for human drivers. Also during Capital Markets Day, Mats Backman, Volvo’s chief financial officer, said that overall truck demand in North America was strong and that production was gradually increasing. He also said customer demand and deliveries remained stable in Europe. Have your say This is a moderated forum.

PepsiCo and Gatik have formed a strategic partnership to introduce autonomous freight into PepsiCo's North America food and beverage supply chain, marking the largest commercial autonomous freight deployment to date. Launching where Gatik already has a fleet, PepsiCo's driverless operation is in Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas. The snack and beverage giant has deployed 41 driverless box trucks. That number means in Texas they're already operating a larger fleet of fully autonomous delivery trucks than Tesla’s robotaxi operation in Texas. And together, these two major projects highlight the rapid real-world rollout of self-driving freight technology. For PepsiCo, medium-duty Isuzu trucks, many delivering Doritos and other Frito-Lay products, have been running with no human on board since June 2025 on fixed short-haul routes between distribution centers, bottling plants, and stores such as Walmart and Dollar General. PepsiCo reports zero accidents and a 99% on-time performance rate after accounting for weather and traffic variables. By comparison, Tesla’s unsupervised robotaxi fleet in Texas stands at roughly 29 to 42 vehicles operating primarily in Austin, with smaller numbers in Houston and Dallas as of early June 2026. The contrast comes as both companies push autonomous technology into everyday commercial use, with PepsiCo’s trucks already handling real supply chain deliveries at scale. The Gatik-powered trucks focus on repeatable, lower-speed routes ideal for automation, freeing human drivers for higher-value tasks. The deployment marks one of the largest commercial autonomous freight operations in the U.S. and underscores North Texas’s growing role as a testing ground for self-driving vehicles. No injuries or incidents have been reported in connection with PepsiCo’s driverless fleet.

European truckmakers are making no secret of their growing dissatisfaction with EU regulators. They claim in near-lockstep that the Euro 7 regulations on carbon emissions—which require a 45 percent CO2 reduction by 2030, a 65 percent drop by 2035, and a 90 percent cut by 2049—will prove impossible to meet without a much faster rollout of critical charging and hydrogen refueling infrastructure. The EU goals are unlikely to be met with diesel trucks alone, though they’re getting cleaner, but basically will require a sharp increase in the number of zero-emission trucks on the road. The truck producers say they’ve done their job—and have fuel cell and battery-electric trucks ready to go—but the politicians need to be realistic about the situation on the ground. In addition to infrastructure, they blame EU red tape for the lead the U.S. has taken in rolling out fully autonomous trucks (which will deploy without drivers in Texas next year). The truck companies vented at the IAA Transportation Media Summit in Frankfurt June 8 and 9. The press event, with reporters from 33 countries, was intended to drum up excitement for the big September 15-20 IAA Transportation conference in Hannover, Germany, where many new green trucks will be shown. According to Dr. Manuel Kallweit, head of economic intelligence and economics at the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), a perfect storm of economic conditions (including the Strait of Hormuz blockade, tariffs, high fuel/electricity prices and protectionism) has resulted in weak German demand for commercial vehicles, especially for BEV and hydrogen variants. In late 2025, the German government announced subsidies for 130 heavy-duty charging sites in the country, but Kallweit said 350 will be needed by 2030 to keep up with growing fleets. “Charging capacity is moving very slowly,” he said. “We’re still at the beginning.”

Brussels, 9 June 2026 The EU Commission and Member States are stepping up efforts to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness in clean and digital transport. At yesterday’s Transport Council in Luxembourg, the EU launched new initiatives to accelerate the rollout of innovative, zero-emission and automated transport solutions, supporting Europe’s industrial leadership and climate objectives. EU ministers from 9 Member States, together with Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, endorsed the first two roadmaps under the Clean Transport Corridor Initiative. These roadmaps aim to accelerate the deployment of charging infrastructure for zero-emission trucks along the Scandinavian–Mediterranean and North Sea–Baltic corridors. By identifying key infrastructure gaps and investment needs, the roadmaps contribute to reaching zero-emission freight operations by 2030. Furthermore, 18 Member States and the Commissioner signed a Joint Declaration of Intent on cross-border testbeds for autonomous vehicles, advancing coordinated deployment and commercial testing across Europe. The autonomous vehicle testbeds will also strengthen cooperation on interoperability, regulation, and cross-border roll-out. As highlighted in the European Automotive Industrial Action Plan, the Commission is committed to presenting concrete actions that will ensure a robust and sustainable automotive sector and help unleash its innovative power. Both new initiatives will contribute to this goal. Source – EU Commission

Autonomous trucking companies are backing provisions in the BUILD America 250 Act that would create a federal framework for automated driving system-equipped commercial motor vehicles operating in interstate commerce. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved H.R. 8870, the BUILD America 250 Act, on May 22 by a vote of 62 to 2. The committee described the bill as a bipartisan, five-year surface transportation reauthorization package covering roads, bridges, transit, rail, highway safety and motor carrier safety programs. It also said the legislation would provide the first federal autonomous commercial motor vehicle framework. For autonomous freight developers, that framework could address one of the sector’s biggest barriers to scale: moving trucks across state lines under rules still largely shaped by state-by-state requirements. Under the bill, the U.S. Department of Transportation would be required within two years of enactment to establish and maintain a performance-based safety standard for ADS-equipped commercial motor vehicles operating in interstate commerce. The bill also would require manufacturers to certify that vehicles meet the federal safety standard before operating under the framework. Daniel Goff, vice president of external affairs at Kodiak, said a federal autonomous commercial motor vehicle framework would “significantly accelerate” Kodiak’s ability to deploy, scale and commercialize autonomous freight operations across the United States. Today, Goff said, autonomous trucking companies must navigate “a patchwork of state-by-state regulations, permitting requirements, and operational restrictions,” which increases complexity and slows expansion into new markets. A comprehensive federal framework, he said, would provide regulatory consistency, reduce compliance burdens, streamline fleet expansion and expedite scaled commercialization. Aurora also framed the legislation as an important signal from Congress. “The inclusion of a first-ever federal framework for autonomous commercial vehicles in the BUILD America 250 Act signals that Congress recognizes the immense potential of autonomous trucking to fortify the American economy,” said

The Teamsters union is not happy about it. PepsiCo just became the first major U.S. consumer-goods company to put driverless trucks on public roads at scale. The snack giant is now running 41 autonomous trucks across Arizona, Texas and Arkansas, according to the Wall Street Journal. The trucks, built by Isuzu and powered by startup Gatik, deliver Doritos and Fritos from warehouses to retailers including Walmart and Dollar General. The driverless truck revolution that was coming is here early. On-time arrival has hit 99% and there have been no accidents on public roads since driverless runs began in June 2025. Gatik has secured $600 million in multiyear contracts. PepsiCo says it expects to hire fewer drivers going forward and plans to grow without adding as many employees. The Teamsters union is actively lobbying states to require a human operator in any autonomous commercial vehicle. For now, the driverless semis keep on trucking.

PepsiCo and Gatik on Monday announced a multi-year strategic partnership that stands as the largest commercial autonomous freight deployment to date. The deal brings fully driverless trucks into one of the world’s most demanding consumer goods supply chains. Operations are already live across Texas, Arizona and Arkansas. “Serving our vast network of customers requires a supply chain that is safe, reliable and built for the future,” said Jim Farrell, senior vice president of supply chain at PepsiCo. “Gatik is already operating inside our networks and brings the autonomous freight technology, commercial experience and scale we need to strengthen service, add capacity and move products more consistently for our customers.” The driverless footprint: Three states and 250 retail stops Gatik’s autonomous trucks currently serve around 250 retail locations for PepsiCo, including Walmart and Dollar General stores. The deliveries move across both highways and surface streets — a technical distinction that matters in the autonomous vehicle space, where many competitors remain limited to interstate corridors. “Driverless trucks deployed in commercial capacity, driving across highways and surface streets — that’s what we’re doing with PepsiCo,” said Gautam Narang, CEO and co-founder of Gatik, in an interview with FreightWaves. “The fact that they’re adopting this in very complex supply chains is one of the proof points that autonomous trucking is mainstream.” The partnership began in 2022. Gatik went driver-out with operations in June 2025. The company maintains a99% on time track record. No driver, no observer, one remote supervisor Gatik’s operation stands out with fully driver-out trucks with no safety drivers or observers in the cab. “To my understanding, in the trucking space we are the only company that can make that claim today — without a driver and without an observer,” Narang said. The company uses Gatik Remote Supervisors, or GRS, to provide
