Caterpillar Successfully Completes Massive Electric Mining Truck Test

Caterpillar is a world leader in the heavy machinery manufacturing segment and it recently posted a video announcing successful completion of a test of its new electric mining truck, called the Cat 793 AC Electric Drive. The test took place at a mine in Arizona and it marked an important milestone in Caterpillar's efforts to reduce emissions and improve the sustainability of its products, regardless of size.

Announced in 2021, the 793 AC Electric Drive is part of Caterpillar's broader efforts to develop electric powertrain technology for its mining vehicles. In addition to reducing emissions, the company believes that electric trucks will be more cost-effective to operate in the long run, as they require less maintenance and have lower fuel costs.The demonstration in the video took place over a 4.3-mile course in an Arizona mine where the vehicle reached a top speed of 37.

🤔...if this is possible then...

Wasn’t there already a giant electric dump truck called “The Big Green Machine” where it generated more electricity then it could use?
