CAT - Focusing on leadership in technology, autonomy and sustainability

Autonomy, technology, and sustainability will take centre stage in Caterpillar’s roughly 6,300 sq ft exhibit at CES in Las Vegas, January 5-8, where they will exhibit the 100-ton Cat® 777 equipped with Command for hauling to represent the more than 560 Cat autonomous trucks that travel a distance equivalent to twice the Earth’s circumference each day. Beyond autonomous haulage, the company will showcase construction and mining safety, fleet management technologies, equipment health options, high-precision guidance technologies and material tracking solutions.

“CES, the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators, is the ideal place for us to showcase our high-tech leadership,” comments Denise Johnson, group president of Caterpillar Resource Industries. “People have seen us as an equipment company for more than a century, and they are now realizing that we are a high-tech company as well.”

Senior Vice President of Caterpillar Resource Industries, Marc Cameron, adds: “We help miners unearth materials found in everything from the smartphone displays to batteries for electric vehicles that are exhibited at CES. Caterpillar and our diverse team of talented people are making a positive impact on our world, and CES gives us a platform to showcase our people and growth opportunities within the company.”

“Our technologies are changing the world by advancing autonomy, finding new ways to keep people safe, improving fleet productivity and building solutions that manage every aspect of an operation,” Tony Fassino, group president of Caterpillar Construction Industries adds. “In addition to the fully autonomous mining trucks, we offer solutions that automate and provide remote operation of dozers, wheel loaders, excavators, and skid steer and compact track loaders. Along with the productivity and safety benefits, automation is another way we can contribute to helping our customers build a better, more sustainable world.”
