Caterpillar designing Cat 793 mining truck platform with powertrain flexibility from diesel to electric – Charged EVs


Caterpillar has announced that, to meet customers’ current and future needs, it is designing a modular Cat 793 large mining truck platform that will include diesel-mechanical, diesel-electric and battery-electric powertrain options.

The company also plans to leverage expertise gained from its Early Learner battery electric large mining truck program to extend common platform benefits to its ultra-class trucks, including diesel-electric and battery-electric offerings for the Cat 794, 796 and 798 models.

“Caterpillar recognizes every mine site requires a unique plan to meet their sustainability objectives,” said Caterpillar Senior VP Greg Hepler. “Which is why we are delivering a suite of integrated energy transition solutions, including machines with powertrain flexibility, energy transfer systems, energy storage and management capabilities, autonomy, and fleet management systems.”
