Autonomous Trucks
Caterpillar announced an additional 1 billion tonnes of material hauled by autonomous trucks using Cat MineStar Command for hauling, surpassing the 3 billion tonnes milestone. This achievement is joined by an expansion of the types of commodities hauled autonomously across a growing number of Cat mining truck class sizes, as well as other brands of mining equipment. Commodities mined using the Cat Command include iron ore, oil sands, copper, coal and gold. Command retrofit kits are available for Cat mining trucks as well as other brands of trucks and loading equipment. Consistent with previous milestone trends, we anticipate crossing the 4 billion tonnes threshold at even a faster pace than achieving 3 billion tonnes," said Marc Cameron, vice president, Caterpillar Resource Industries.
