According to news, in August of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Emergency Management jointly issued the “15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Safety and Emergency Equipment Industry”. The plan aims to improve the level of intrinsic safety, and clearly proposes to promote equipment such as driverless systems for open pit mines for high-risk operations such as mining, transportation, and handling. According to data, as of September 2026, Easy-Control Smart Driving has put more than 600 unmanned mining cards into coal mining production scenarios, covering more than 10 open pit coal mines in major coal-producing areas such as Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. The application scale ranks first in the industry. The cumulative coal mining and transportation volume exceeds 200 million tons, and the operating mileage exceeds 20 million kilometers.
CITIC Construction Investment released a research report stating that Easy Control Smart Driving is the leading L4 driverless pilot in the Hong Kong stock large-scale open-pit mine. It has the four core advantages of “Zhushan+Twilight” full-stack self-developed technology, and the business model ranges from heavy to light, and fully covers leading mining customers and the Australian overseas incremental market. As domestic mining intelligence policies continue to increase, the penetration rate of unmanned mining cards has entered an accelerated upward channel. Combined with the continuous expansion of the company's asset-light model and the restoration of gross margin year by year, we expect profit correction in 2027.
