A story at Mining-Technology.com has an interesting take on the future of mining trucks.
A push for efficiency and speed has meant bigger mining operations and a move to bigger haul trucks. Another change for the future: Automation. The story takes a look at what Caterpillar is developing under a 2008 partnership with Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute to develop automated versions of its large haul trucks. Those automated vehicles could haul 240 tons or more.
