Electrification + Intelligentization Dual-engine Drive! EACON (07687) Signs Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Longjing Lianhui.

On August 10, the off-line ceremony for the Zijin Longjing ZL230E pure electric mining truck and the investment promotion meeting for Zijin Longjing Mining + Smart Manufacturing Industry in Xinluo District were held in Longyan. The event was attended by Longyan Municipal Vice Mayor Wang Bo, Vice Chairman of the Municipal People's Congress and Secretary of the Xinluo District Committee Lai Jinyi, President of the China Construction Machinery Industry Association Su Zimeng, Lifetime Honorary Chairman of Zijin Mining Group Chen Jinghe, Vice President and Chairman of Zijin Longjing Xie Xiong-hui, President of Zijin Longjing Huang Wei, as well as over 200 guests and representatives from the Fujian Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, Fujian Research Institute of Mechanical Science, Beijing Institute of Technology, core suppliers, and others. At the meeting, EACON (07687) formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Fujian Longjing Lianhui Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Longjing Lianhui"). The two parties will engage in in-depth cooperation in areas such as autonomous mining vehicles, smart mines, new energy mining equipment, and cloud integration of vehicles and roads. Chairman of Longjing Lianhui Xiao Degui and Chairman of EACON Zhang Lei signed the agreement on behalf of both parties, with Liu Ronghai, Deputy Secretary of the Xinluo District Committee and Acting District Mayor, Shao Guiwen, Standing Member of the District Committee and Vice Mayor, and Luo Rusheng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Zijin Longjing, in attendance to witness the signing. Longjing Lianhui was established based on the demand for green mine construction from Zijin Mining Group and has a strong foundation in the fields of pure electric mining truck platforms and new energy equipment manufacturing. EACON is a global leader in autonomous mining truck technology, with its solutions already achieving large-scale application in over 40 major mines, including Zijin Mining Group's Zijinshan Gold-Copper Mine, the Tibet Julong Copper Mine, and the Norton Goldfield project in Australia under ZIJIN GOLD INTL, operating more than 3,100 autonomous mining trucks with a cumulative transportation mileage exceeding 150 million kilometers. This cooperation will further integrate the technical capabilities of both parties in the fields of new energy mining equipment and autonomous driving, accelerating the R&D and implementation of smart solutions for new energy mining trucks. The two sides will focus on cooperation in three areas: Joint Research on Intelligent Systems: Based on Longjing Lianhui's pure electric mining truck platform, deeply integrating EACON's perception, decision-making, control, and cloud scheduling capabilities to create an autonomous mining dumper suited for open-pit mining scenarios. Co-promotion of Scaled Implementation: Collaborating to advance the scene-based validation and scaled implementation of smart mining equipment, accelerating the engineering application of complete solutions in real-world conditions. Co-building the Industry Ecosystem: Working together to tackle core technological challenges and plan for intellectual property, deeply participating in industry standard formulation, and promoting the systematic and standardized development of autonomous mining technology. Currently, the electrification and intelligence of mines are accelerating their convergence. This strategic cooperation will further promote the synergy between new energy mining equipment and autonomous driving technology, extending the advantages of both parties into actual mining scenarios and jointly exploring more efficient and intelligent transportation solutions for mines.
