The electric mining truck does not have any kind of place that a person can access, that is, it is completely autonomous and moved “by itself”
The success of drones, which can be used in any type of service, even in military operations, is already notorious, especially on account of not needing of humans inside. With that in mind, the Chinese automaker Chongqing Electromechanical Group launched the first electric drone mining truck, according to the Blog do Caminhoneiro website.
According to details, the electric mining truck does not have any type of cabin or compartment intended for transporting people and is 100% electric. Called Dianniu Ebull, the autonomous truck has batteries that can be recharged in the vehicle itself or replaced, reducing downtime to refuel the truck.
The electric mining truck has very particular characteristics. The batteries are located behind the engine and, if the truck needs to change batteries, it would be necessary to use a crane. the chassis and cargo box are present only in operated trucks by humans.

So, if one stops working, the other takes over until it receives the necessary maintenance.
According to the Chinese press, this is the first electric mining truck in the country that does not have the cabin and the driver's compartment and that works in a way smart, electronically.
