On September 2, 2025, in Yunfu, Guangdong—known as the "Oriental Sulfur Capital"—the delivery ceremony for the world's first AI pure-electric unmanned bulldozer from Shantui, a subsidiary of Shandong Heavy Industry, and the industry-university-research cooperation signing ceremony were grandly held.

Deepening Intelligent Transformation, Leading Industry Technological Innovation

In the face of the global wave of intelligent construction machinery, Shantui Co., Ltd., relying on the strong technological foundation and independent innovation capabilities of Shandong Heavy Industry Group, has comprehensively deployed its AI strategy and continues to drive industrial upgrading. Since the release of its new brand image and AI strategy in June 2025, Shantui has taken "AI intelligent assistant + construction machine cluster" as its core to accelerate the building of a full-series intelligent product ecosystem.

From the world's first pure-electric bulldozer, to the world's first AI bulldozer, and now to the world's first AI pure-electric unmanned bulldozer delivered on this occasion, Shantui has always stood at the forefront of the industry, continuing to deepen its efforts on the path of intelligence and green development. This series of breakthroughs not only achieves a major leap from "passive execution" to "active decision-making," but also demonstrates Shantui's leading strength in the technological field of the construction machinery industry.

Joining Hands to Build a New Ecosystem of Industry-University-Research-Application and Create a New Pattern of Cooperation

At the ceremony, Yunliu Mining and Shantui completed the "golden key" handover, marking the official commissioning of the world's first AI pure-electric unmanned bulldozer; the two parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement; and jointly unveiled the "Yunliu-Shantui Industry-University-Research Cooperation Base." The series of ceremonies was solemn and efficient, demonstrating the continuous deepening of the level of cooperation between the two parties.

According to the agreement, the two parties will integrate high-quality resources, enhance innovation and technical capabilities, and promote the efficient transformation of scientific research achievements. Through comprehensive cooperation featuring complementary advantages, equality and mutual benefit, and common development, they will continuously improve the quality and level of scientific research, jointly cultivate high-tech talent, promote the coordinated progress of R&D and application, and achieve win-win outcomes for enterprises and society.

Under this cooperation framework, the two parties will jointly build an industry-leading training base and R&D platform for intelligent equipment, cultivate more high-end equipment and intelligent professional talent, continuously empower the high-quality development of China's mining industry, and jointly open a new chapter in the construction of intelligent mines.

Technology-Driven Transformation, Win-Win Green and Intelligent Future

The transformation and upgrading of Yunliu Mining from the traditional "Oriental Sulfur Capital" to a modern "smart mine" is deeply aligned with the technological innovation path of Shantui Co., Ltd. With its leading intelligent equipment and technical support, Shantui actively participates in the green and intelligent transformation process of Yunliu Mining. The AI pure-electric unmanned bulldozer delivered on this occasion will not only effectively enhance the intelligence level of mining operations, but also provide a practical and feasible technical solution for the green transformation of traditional resource-based enterprises.

This delivery and signing are not only a new starting point for the cooperation between Yunliu Mining and Shantui Co., Ltd., but also an important milestone in the intelligent transformation of China's mining and construction machinery industries. The two parties will take this cooperation as an opportunity to fully leverage their respective advantages, jointly explore a new development path of "technology-led, green and low-carbon, intelligent and efficient," inject sustained momentum into promoting the high-quality development of the industry, and make new and greater contributions to China's manufacturing industry striving toward a world-class level.
