Caterpillar and Teck to Advance Zero Emissions Mining Haul Trucks

Caterpillar and Teck, one of Canada’s leading mining companies, have agreed to work towards deploying Caterpillar’s zero-emissions large haul trucks at Teck mining operations. Decarbonizing Teck’s vehicle fleet represents a significant reduction in Scope 1 emissions as Teck works towards its goals to reduce the carbon intensity of its operations by 33% by 2030 and be a carbon-neutral operator by 2050.

“Teck is already one of the world’s lowest carbon intensity producers of copper, zinc and steelmaking coal, and now we are taking further action to develop and implement the technology needed to reduce the carbon footprint of our operations and support global efforts to combat climate change,” said Don Lindsay, President and CEO, Teck.

The companies plan to progress through a multi-phased approach that includes early development, piloting, and deployment of 30 Caterpillar zero-emission vehicles, including Cat 794 ultra-class trucks.

Caterpillar Group President Denise Johnson added, “We look forward to working with Teck to support their climate goals and developing solutions to increase operational efficiency while substantially reducing emissions. We are excited to strengthen our collaboration and deliver results.”
