03 Apr 2025 CW Team

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 India’s mining sector. It not only supports the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative but also sets new standards for efficiency and safety in mining operations.”

As India’s 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 vehicle’s 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 India’s 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 India’s rapidly growing infrastructure and energy sectors.
