"The arrival of the Early Learner Cat 793 XE underscores our
ongoing commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
across our business,” said Natascha Viljoen, Chief Operating
Officer at Newmont. "As we look toward the future, our focus
remains on creating a safer and more productive mining environment
and this battery-electric large mining truck is one more step we
are taking to further advance our safety and sustainability
commitments.”
Currently, surface and underground mining diesel combustion
machines are responsible for a significant portion of Newmont’s
carbon emissions. Introducing innovative solutions like the Early
Learner 793 XE at the mine-site level demonstrates our ongoing
commitment towards reducing emissions.
“As the mining industry navigates the energy transition, we know
a diverse set of solutions will be required for our customers to
achieve their operational and sustainability objectives,” said
Denise Johnson, Group President of Resource Industries,
Caterpillar. “We are excited about our collaboration with Newmont
and working with them to truly understand the implementation and
impact of the Early Learner 793 XE at CC&V.”
Newmont and Caterpillar will focus on validating and testing the
Early Learner 793 XE. These efforts will provide insights into how
mining operations can incorporate battery-electric large mining
trucks, setting a new standard for the industry.
