Suncor Energy's Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) fleet expanded to 120 trucks by May 2025, operating at the Base Plant Millennium Mine and North Steepbank. The company plans to further increase this fleet to over 150 trucks by year-end.
The AHS technology achieved performance equal to staffed operations in just nine months, significantly faster than the typical industry benchmark of two years. This rapid integration highlights the effectiveness of Suncor's deployment strategy.
Productivity gains from the AHS are projected to yield the equivalent of 10 additional 400-ton haul trucks by 2026. This directly contributes to lower unit costs and higher overall productivity in mining operations.
The successful deployment and proven efficiency of the AHS underscore Suncor's commitment to advanced technologies for operational excellence. Syncrude is also slated to implement AHS in 2026, anticipating consistent economic benefits.
