"The time period between rollout of the mine's first autonomous 793F truck to full conversion of the mine's autonomous fleet to achieving 100 million metric tons autonomously hauled was incredibly short," Kosie Bolton said, technology site manager for Caterpillar. "This is a true testament of the great teamwork between Boddington's talented and dedicated workforce, Cat dealer and Caterpillar."
The achievement of this milestone provides further evidence of the transformational strategic alliance between the two companies. Caterpillar and Newmont agreed in November 2021 to collaborate on a number of mining technology initiatives that provide industry leading outcomes for safety, productivity, sustainability and cost.
