The New Mining Truck, Named Cat 793, Has a Large Battery, and the Company Has Already Begun Tests on the Vehicle to Launch It Soon in the Market

The development of the prototype of the electric truck for mining has been completed with the support of key mining clients participating in Caterpillar’s Early Learner program, which includes various electrification agreements established between Caterpillar and companies such as BHP, Freeport-McMoRan, Newmont Corporation, Rio Tinto, and Teck Resources, according to the website petronotícias.

According to the president of the group responsible for the Resource Industries sector, Denise Johnson: “Our global team has developed this electric mining truck at an accelerated pace to help our customers meet their sustainability commitments. This demonstration is a significant milestone, and we are excited for these trucks to begin operating in our customers’ mines around the world in the near future.”

The Giant Potential of the New Mining Truck

During the presentation of the mining truck prototype, Caterpillar monitored over 1,100 data channels, gathering 110,000 data points per second to validate the simulation and engineering modeling capabilities. Fully loaded at its rated capacity, the vehicle reached a top speed of 60 km/h.

When loaded, it traveled one kilometer uphill at 12 km/h, while the equipment also performed a one-kilometer run downhill at 10%, capturing energy that would normally be lost as heat and regenerating that energy for the battery.

The Giant Potential of the New Mining Truck

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

In the New Mexico desert rises the largest wind farm in the Western Hemisphere, which will send energy through a line of almost 900 kilometers to California.

15 million people leave Bolsa Família after income improvement, says the Minister of Social Development and Assistance, Family and Fight Against Hunger.

Luciano Hang published a comparison between Brazil and the United States and exposed a wound that many prefer to ignore: why do Brazilians work so much, earn so little, and still see the country drifting further away from the Americans?

With an eye on the Chinese tourist, who has one of the highest average expenditures per person in the world, a Brazilian state is negotiating flights and a possible air connection with Foz do Iguaçu, after China injected around 20 million dollars into the economy of the State of Paraná last year.

Javier Milei’s Argentina enters the list of the ten worst countries in the world to work for the first time, according to the International Trade Union Confederation, which points to the second consecutive year of worsening conditions and mentions increasingly repressive conditions for unions.

Ford discovered the secret: they just had to open Chinese cars to understand why their electric vehicles weigh more, cost more, and result in a $5 billion loss per year.

Wind turbine blades the size of airplane wings become the new challenge for clean energy: the world could accumulate 43 million tons of this material by 2050 as China, Europe, and the United States rush to prevent green giants from ending up buried in landfills.

China gets tired and now wants to “retire” “zero gravity” seats in electric cars due to collision risks and targets feature used in BYD luxury models

Dealerships in Brazil are starting to bet more on Chinese cars after seeing margins of R$ 80,000, lower initial investment, and a market that could gain 2,000 new stores.

Brazil has never seen so many Chinese SUVs arriving at once, and 2026 promises to be the year of the definitive invasion, with BYD, GWM, Omoda, Jaecoo, GAC, and newcomer Lynk&Co launching models ranging from affordable compacts to luxury hybrids with over 400 hp.
