"The use of unmanned vehicles will improve the safety of transportation, as the driver will be removed from the hazardous area of mining operations, and will also reduce the negative impact on the environment by reducing fuel consumption," said Gennady Alekseev, General Director of HC "SDS-Ugol" JSC.
Pilot tests of the KAMAZ unmanned dump truck are being conducted jointly with the Kuzbass REC as part of the full innovation cycle program of the integrated scientific and technical program "Clean Coal - Green Kuzbass".
