In 2021, the Cat 794 AC returns to MINExpo, as the latest autonomous mining truck equipped with Cat® MineStar™ Command for hauling, an autonomous hauling solution. The 794 AC is the first electric drive model to join the expanding Command for autonomous haulage fleet, which includes the Cat 789D, 793D, 793F and 797F models.

The first autonomous 794 AC electric drive mining trucks are being deployed in South America. In Chile, the first of 28 autonomous 794 AC trucks began arriving in May 2021 to be part of Teck Resources Limited’s low-cost, long-life Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 (QB2) copper project. ­­

At the Quellaveco copper mine operated by Anglo American in the Moquequa Region of southern Peru, sixteen 794 AC trucks have been deployed and will reach a total of 27 trucks by 2022. As a new greenfield mine, they saw the value and flexibility in using the 794 AC in both modes of operation: operator-driven and fully autonomous. Pre-mining activities began earlier this year, with both operator-driven and autonomous trucks being utilized from the start.
