Last week, Irving-based Caterpillar announced a collaboration with Luck Stone—the nation’s largest family-owned and operated producer of crushed stone, sand, and gravel—to roll out Caterpillar’s autonomous trucking solution at Luck Stone’s plant in Chantilly, Virginia. This will be Caterpillar’s first self-driving truck deployment in the aggregates industry, accelerating its solutions beyond mining, the company said. It expands Caterpillar's autonomous truck fleet to include the exceptionally burly Cat 777 seen above.
CAT's move is “in the best strategic interest of the company,” said Chairman and CEO Jim Umpleby.
The heavy-machinery maker has a long history of innovation, from the first commercially successful track-type tractor to drone technology to autonomous solutions for mining trucks. Caterpillar's Electric Power division, already housed in Irving, is a unique organization supporting a variety of industries with reliable power technology.
