This mining tractor developed by Caterpillar is completely battery-operatedHeavy equipment manufacturer, Caterpillar, known for its diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines, and diesel-electric locomotives has now forayed into battery-operated mining trucks and recently displayed its prototype, 793, a company press release said.As the world's leading provider of mining equipment, Caterpillar is looking for ways to reduce emissions from the sector and set up the Early learner Program in 2021 to accelerate the development and validation of battery-operated electric trucks.The demonstration for the company's prototype battery-operated truck, 793, was conducted recently at its Tucson, Arizona-based proving ground.To do so, the company will install and utilize a variety of renewable energy sources at this site, much similar to solutions that mining companies are likely to install at their sites."We know it will take an integrated, site-level solution for miners to achieve their carbon-reduction goals"In the near future, renewable sources of energy such as wind, solar, and hydrogen will also be used to power the site and Caterpillar's own products as they become electrified, the press release said."
