ENERGY, FUEL ECONOMY & EMISSIONS ™ CAT MINESTAR SOLUTIONS In 2021, we unveiled the first electric drive model to join our expanding Command for autonomous haulage fleet, the 794 AC. This mining truck/haul truck offers up to 8% better payload and faster speed-on-grade. We also introduced the 777G autonomous water truck, which helps operators keep access roads safe while cutting water consumption by up to 50%. CUTTING CARBON THROUGH CUSTOMER COLLABORATIONS Nouveau Monde Graphite announced its plans to build the world’s first zero-emissions, open-pit mine in Canada. It’s a transformative project we’re supporting as the exclusive supplier of an all-electric mining fleet. We’re also supporting customers BHP and Rio Tinto in their goals to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. BHP will have the opportunity for first access to Caterpillar zero-emissions trucks at various development stages, and hands on learning opportunities to ensure successful deployment at their sites. For Rio Tinto, the opportunity to purchase the world’s first operational deployment of approximately 35 new Caterpillar 793 zero-emissions autonomous haul trucks once development is complete. For our customer Newmont, we entered into a strategic alliance which will deliver a fully connected, automated, zero carbon emitting end-to-end mining system. The agreement includes the rapid deployment of an all-electric autonomous haulage fleet to support their operations on two continents. And we’re also developing our first battery electric zero exhaust emissions underground truck, which will complete our fully electric underground load and haul solution. 27CATERPILLAR 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
