Caterpillar Expands Autonomous Hauling Tech to Two New Sites
Caterpillar is expanding its autonomous hauling technology to two more sites in Virginia, following successful trials at Luck Stone's Bull Run Quarry. The expansion will integrate Caterpillar's autonomous hauling solution across two fleets of Cat 775 trucks at Boscobel and Bealeton, alongside complementary technologies for loaders and other site equipment.
This marks the first time Caterpillar will deploy its autonomous haulage solution on the Cat 775, a key haul truck model in the quarry industry. Luck Stone has seen significant benefits from the technology, including improved safety and increased production consistency at Bull Run Quarry.
Caterpillar's autonomous trucks have hauled more than 13 billion tonnes and safely travelled over 455 million kilometres with no reported injuries while operating.
