Caterpillar<\/a> said it is purposefully designing a modular Cat 793 large mining truck platform with powertrain flexibility as it looks toward the future of the industry. This platform will include diesel mechanical, diesel electric and battery electric options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the OEM said it is leveraging the knowledge and validation acquired through its Early Learner battery electric large mining truck program to drive common platform benefits for its ultra-class trucks, including diesel electric and battery electric offerings for the Cat 794, 796 and 798 models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cNo matter the powertrain you desire, we will have a solution,\u201d said Caterpillar Group President Denise Johnson. \u201cDesigning and supporting machine platforms that drive commonality, modularity and a seamless experience across our product lines is not new to us. Our large mining trucks are engineered to integrate with the technologies of today and of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

All current diesel electric and battery electric large mining truck platforms are also compatible with the recently announced Cat Dynamic Energy Transfer system, providing immediate benefit to mine sites that want to lower their operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions while providing flexibility for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
