Key facts

Autonomous haulage operations

Rio Tinto describes autonomous haulage systems as part of its mining automation program and identifies autonomous haul trucks in its operations (Rio Tinto automation).

Gudai-Darri autonomous fleet

Rio Tinto's Gudai-Darri operation page describes autonomous haulage and other automated mining systems used at the Western Australia mine (Gudai-Darri).

Rio truck section prints more than 130 autonomous trucks

Rio Tinto's automation page, in the autonomous trucks section, prints more than 130 autonomous trucks in the Autonomous Haulage System across Iron Ore operations, run by a supervisory system and a central controller on pre-defined GPS courses. The stored program sentence is not this fleet cell (Rio Tinto automation).

Rio truck section prints 700 extra hours and 15% lower cost

The same truck section says that in 2018 each autonomous truck was estimated to have operated on average 700 hours more than conventional haul trucks, with 15% lower costs. That productivity cell is not the stored Gudai-Darri sentence (Rio Tinto automation).
