The SKT105E Electric Dump Truck is said to combine local expertise with global innovation. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of open-cast mining operations, the electric off-highway dump truck has a payload capacity of 70 tonnes.

The unveiling ceremony was attended by Mr. Deepak Garg, Vice Chairman & Managing Director of Sany India & South Asia.

“The SKT105E marks a historic moment for Sany India and the Indian mining industry,” said Mr Garg.

“By localising production and introducing cutting-edge electric technology, we are not only enhancing operational efficiency but also contributing to the nation’s vision of sustainable development.”

The SKT105E’s electric propulsion system ensures optimal performance while reducing carbon footprint, thereby aligning with India’s commitment to combat climate change and the local production fits the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
