SANY Unveils India's First Hybrid 100T Mining Truck
In a major leap for Indias mining and heavy machinery industry, SANY India has introduced the countrys first locally manufactured hybrid-powered 100-ton mining dump truck ” the SKT130S. This significant milestone was marked by the unveiling of the vehicle at SANYs manufacturing facility in Pune.

The SKT130S represents a new era in mining equipment, combining cutting-edge hybrid technology with a strong emphasis on performance, safety, and sustainability. Equipped with a powerful 925 kW engine capable of producing 3200 Nm of torque, the truck is capable to undertake even the most demanding mining environments. It boasts a 100-ton payload capacity and a 61 cubic meter heaped body, making it an incredibly high-capacity machine for the sector.

Deepak Garg, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of SANY India and South Asia, said, The introduction of the SKT130S is a remarkable achievement in our journey towards driving innovation and self-reliance in Indias mining sector. It not only supports the governments Make in India initiative but also sets new standards for efficiency and safety in mining operations.

As Indias first diesel-electric hybrid dump truck, the SKT130S is expected to deliver fuel savings of 20 per cent to 25 per cent compared to conventional diesel-only models. A key innovation is its regenerative braking system, which charges the vehicles high-voltage battery during downhill operations, enhancing energy efficiency.

The vehicle features an intelligent control module for smooth operation and a 10-inch central control screen for real-time monitoring and navigation. To ensure safety in harsh working conditions, the cabin is FOPS/ROPS certified, meeting global standards for operator protection.

SANY has also committed to further increasing localization of components for the SKT130S, reinforcing its long-term dedication to building Indias manufacturing capabilities.

This launch positions SANY as a technological leader in the mining space and marks another step in its mission to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions to Indias rapidly growing infrastructure and energy sectors.
