ELECTRIC TRUCKS * USA - Caterpillar to Introduce Electric-Drive Mining Trucks
Washington,DC,USA -The Green Car Congress -22 September 2008: -- Caterpillar Inc. will unveil new electric-drive mining trucks, along with improved safety features, Tier 2 compliant engines and new integrated technologies in the existing Cat mining fleet, at MINExpo 2008 in Las Vegas, NV (22-24 September)... While Caterpillar believes mechanical drive is the best solution for the vast majority of situations, the company listened to its customers and explored the situations and conditions where electric drive would be the preferred option. Cat is the only manufacturer of 200-ton and above mining trucks with both drives... Cat will produce mining trucks for every application—uphill, downhill, flat or extreme conditions—and now with electric as well as mechanical drive... The next generation of trucks will be phased into production over the next two years, with the Cat AC drive models expected to go into production in late 2010...Labels: electric trucks
