Electric Autonomous Truck

Caterpillar showcased a 794 AC autonomous truck equipped with MineStar Command. The truck is the first electric-drive model equipped with Command. Command enables fully autonomous haulage. Unmanned, the truck will operate in a fleet, interact with other equipment, and integrate with mining processes and systems, Caterpillar said.

Autonomous Cat trucks have been deployed to numerous sites and now combine for more than 3 billion mt hauled with no time lost to injuries. A fleet of 28 autonomous 794 AC trucks is being deployed to Teck Resources’ Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 project in Chile. The first truck of the fleet arrived in May.
