BHP, Rio Tinto and Caterpillar have launched a trial of two Cat® 793 XE Early Learner battery-electric haul trucks at a mine-site demonstration in Western Australia's Pilbara as part of an industry-first collaboration.
The trial is generating critical data to assess technical readiness, infrastructure requirements and commercial feasibility, including trialing high-powered static and dynamic charging solutions.
We’re excited to further explore the potential of battery-electric solutions for our industry.
