Electric Drive Trucks


Our electric drive trucks are built to help you get more out of your machine. With powerful integrated and optional technologies, improved serviceability and increased safety, these machines can help you lower costs and increase productivity across your whole operation. 

Why Choose a Cat Electric Drive Truck?

Cat Technologies on Cat Trucks

We take a holistic approach to technologies on our trucks, building them from the ground up for smooth, easy integration with the machine. The results speak for themselves — fully integrated and optimized machine systems designed to help you get more out of your truck. Our truck technology solutions are built using similar controllers and all software is designed by the same engineering group for maximum consistency and portability, resulting in a solution that delivers the results you expect from any Cat product.

We offer technologies that increase the performance of both the machine and the operator, as well as coaching to help operators make the most effective possible use of the tools at their disposal. And we're always pushing the boundaries, using faster and better means of communication and control to help customers better keep track of the performance and condition of their machines.

Integrated cat technologies

Improved Data Capacity

Our new data communication controllers offer faster transfer speeds, which is critical for future technology development. Ethernet data streaming gives operators and offices alike real-time access to key performance and condition data.

Payload Monitoring System

We've futher improved the accuracy of Cat Payload to within 3%, reducing overload that can result in costly wear and tear. The system also monitors and reports on carryback, a critical tool in optimizing your hauling operation.

Road Analysis Control

This system gives operators feedback on the state of the haul road, helping them avoid rough conditions for a smooth ride and maximum productivity — with long-term fuel and cost-per-ton benefits. It also allows mine management to make more informed decisions on haul road maintenance to reduce overall haulage costs.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Integration

Our tire pressure monitoring system helps extend the life of your tires, reducing the need for replacements and driving down your operating costs. If your tire manufacturer includes tire pressure monitors, that technology can be integrated into the Cat system for monitors at each truck corner.

Get The Information You Need

Fully integrated Cat electronics include 100 Mbps, two-wire ethernet connectivity for faster data transfer to improve access to information. The future-proof technology platform is factory-equipped with Cat Product Link Elite™ with standard connectivity via cellular 4G/LTE and available cellular/satellite radio for reliable data transfer.

The ability to access and analyze accurate, real-time data enables faster diagnostics and enhances the ability to predict and prevent machine failure, improving truck uptime availability. A new telematics platform promotes greater data acquisition and faster transmission to locally hosted or cloud-based applications such as Cat MineStar Solutions.

Keep Your Machine Running

Cat trucks are designed to be faster, easier and cheaper to maintain — all with the goal of helping you lower your cost per ton. It's easier than ever to service the engine, drive alternator and other systems thanks to the open engine access and platforms, while ground-level filters and service points help technicians work faster and safer.

All hydraulics are located on one frame rail with cables and electrical wiring on the other, making it easier to access and service the right parts of the machine. The modular design of the machine allows technicians to service the engine, drive alternator, wheel motors and final drives, inverter IGBTs, and radial grid quadrants independently.

All trucks are fully integrated, with each component, software, system and engine designed and manufactured by Caterpillar. That means the entire machine is optimized for a lower cost per ton with systems that work together to meet your needs. And each machine is backed by the support of the global Cat Dealer Network, ensuring world-class support that meets your needs wherever you are.

Serviceability

Keep Your People Safe

Safety is your top priority, and we design our trucks to help you ensure the safety of everyone on your mine site. A wide variety of standard and optional safety features help keep your operators, service staff and other personnel safe while they work on or around your trucks.

From improved operator comfort and visibility to increased control, our trucks improve safety in a number of ways large and small.

Safety Features

Advanced Cab Filtration

A Cyclonic Air pre-cleaner with high-efficiency filtration levels improves cabin air quality to protect operators from dust and keep them comfortable all shift long. We also offer optional filters, including HEPA, odor-reducing filters and ABEK filters that remove gases and vapors.

Radial Retard Grid

This design results in a narrower profile, giving the operator improved visibility to the right-hand side of the machine, helping operators to be more aware of their surroundings and reducing the risk of collisions or other accidents.

Improved Access And Egress

We made accessing the cab safer and easier than ever before, with continuous handrail and three-point coverage from top to bottom. The ladders are 600 mm wide, with a power option, high-traction steps, power ladder handrail and more.

Better Lighting

Brighter lights provide increased visibility for operators and service technicians everywhere on the machine. Brighter LED headlights improve operator awareness, while powertrain and engine bay work lamps make inspection and maintenance safer and easier. We've also updated the chassis lights using common parts from other Cat machines for ease of service.

Cat Brake System

Our electric drive trucks feature four-corner oil-cooled brakes, offering higher retarding capability. This allows operators to stop the machine faster in the event of an emergency, and also allows them to safely travel faster on grade for reduced cycle times and higher productivity.
