Sany provided the client with a factory tour and test drives during the handover ceremony before shipping the trucks to Indonesia. Before these 15 units, the Indonesian company had acquired two vehicles for trials and started operating them at Indonesian mining sites in late 2025.Over the last few months, Saptaindra Sejati used the trial units in operations involving a total Gross Combined Weight (GCW) of 220 tonnes. Sany says that, besides handling complex operating conditions, the trucks demonstrated reliability in the tropical rainforest climate of the region where they were deployed. Saptaindra Sejati has also committed to a future procurement plan involving nearly 100 trucks, although no further details are available at this point.Sany manufactures the SE588 in a ‘Composite’ version with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) rating of 80 tonnes and a ‘Super’ version with a GVW rating of 120 tonnes. The former has a kerb weight of 12.6 to 13.6 tonnes, while the latter tips the scale at 14.6 tonnes. Both feature a single centrally mounted 480 kW motor, a six-speed automated manual transmission, and a 588 kWh battery pack that can be swapped in five minutes.The battery pack also supports dual-gun fast charging, taking the state of charge from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in as little as 55 minutes. Sany claims the SE588 can travel up to 445 kilometres on a single charge.Commenting on the fulfilment of the order from Saptaindra Sejati, Sany Group Director and Sany Truck Chairman Lincoln Liang said: “Against the backdrop of global energy transition and deepening China-Indonesia cooperation, Sany will continue to leverage its full industrial chain advantages. Drawing on our leading smart manufacturing strengths in new energy, we will join hands with your company to build a global benchmark for zero-carbon mines.”sanytruck.com, linkedin.com, sanytruck.com
