Caterpillar Inc. test-drove its first battery electric large mining truck and unveiled plans to turn its Tucson Proving Ground into a sustainable testing hub.
David Wichner Caterpillar Inc. has successfully demonstrated its first battery electric large mining truck and announced a significant investment to transform its Tucson Proving Ground into a sustainable testing and validation hub.
The truck also performed a one-kilometer run on a 10% downhill grade, capturing the energy and regenerating it to the battery while maintaining enough charge for additional complete cycles, the company said. "This demonstration is a significant milestone, and we are excited for these trucks to get to work at customers' sites around the world in the near future," Caterpillar Resource Industries Group President Denise Johnson said in a news release.
The Green Valley site, which also includes the Tinaja Hills Demonstration & Learning Center, will also use a variety of renewable power sources, including wind, solar and hydrogen, capable of powering the facility and its products as they become electrified, the company said.
