Scania starts sales of autonomous mining trucks

Scania is opening order books for its autonomous mining trucks with first sales set for the Australian market.

The Swedish truck manufacturer says it marks an important step forward in the commercialisation of the company’s self-driving mining solutions.

Orders can be taken for Scania’s 40-tonne autonomous heavy tipper for mining, with the 50-tonne model to follow shortly afterwards.

As a first step, Scania will start sales of its autonomous mining solutions in Australia, with first deliveries and start of operation scheduled from 2026.
