How Do Electric Dump Trucks Achieve High Efficiency on Plateaus?

  • May 28, 2025

V&T’s high-power electric vehicle motor controller has successfully entered the “Roof of the World” in large quantities. The rugged quality of V&T products has been proven in mine sites in Qinghai and Xizang.




Recently, 90-ton all-electric wide-body dump trucks equipped with V&T motor controllers have begun operating in high-altitude mining areas in Qinghai (about 4,300 meters above sea level) and Xizang (about 5,000 meters above sea level). This success brings more confidence to China’s new energy vehicle industry and also inspires V&T to keep pushing forward and aiming higher.


At a large mine in Xizang, at an average altitude of 5,000 meters, traditional fuel-powered trucks used to carry rock and ore from mountain tops down. In this environment, low air pressure causes poor engine intake, incomplete combustion, reduced power, higher fuel consumption, and greater pollution.

Now, a group of energy-saving and eco-friendly 90-ton all-electric wide-body dump trucks has arrived. These vehicles solve the problems of weak power and high fuel cost in high-altitude, low-oxygen conditions. The truck automatically adjusts between single or dual motors based on real-time working conditions through the high-power V&T motor controller. This lowers driver workload, improves efficiency, and helps protect the environment.




The dual-motor braking system can recover up to 580 kW of energy, making full use of downhill energy and improving overall economic performance for customers. In these mines, trucks often run heavily loaded downhill for long periods. When the driver brakes, the mechanical energy is turned into electricity by the V&T motor and controller system and stored back into the battery. According to the fleet manager, on a 4.5-kilometer route, each electric truck saves over 2,000 yuan per day compared to fuel trucks—around 25 to 30 trips.


Working together with vehicle manufacturers, V&T shows strong reliability under extreme conditions like high altitude and steep slopes. It reflects China’s progress in electric mining trucks and motor control technology. Through real action, V&T supports the mining industry with a new driving force and contributes to greener, safer, and more efficient mining transport.
