CiDi develops autonomous driving technology for heavy vehicles and industrial transport, with a recent strategic focus on Heavy-Duty Embodied AI. Its business spans autonomous haulage, intelligent systems for heavy equipment, V2X and perception products, and deployment services across mining, logistics, and industrial environments.
MetaMine is CiDi's flagship mining solution, offering autonomy technologies for mobile equipment across different mining operations, both surface and underground. Its deployments include mixed-fleet environments where autonomous and manned vehicles operate on shared haul roads.
As of February 2026, CiDi had deployed more than 1,500 autonomous mining trucks, logged over 30 million autonomous kilometres, and supported the movement of more than 140 million tonnes of material in China. Among these deployments, a 16-million-tonne open-pit coal operation in Western China has operated a mixed fleet of autonomous and manned trucks without onboard operators since 2024.
