BHP Group Limited, Caterpillar Inc., and Finning International have announced a significant agreement to replace the entire haul truck fleet at the Escondida mine in Chile, the world's largest copper producer. This initiative involves deploying Caterpillar's new 798 AC electric drive trucks, slated to arrive in the second half of 2023 and delivered over the next decade. The move is part of Escondida's strategic equipment renewal to improve operational efficiency, safety, and contribute to decarbonization goals.
