Caterpillar Inc. announced they are working with CRH, an aggregate producer, to deploy heavy-duty electric mining vehicles.

The agreement will expedite the deployment of Caterpillar’s 70 to 100-ton-class battery electric off-highway trucks and charging solutions at a CRH site in North America.

CRH will join Caterpillar’s Early Learner program for battery electric off-highway trucks, testing and validating the units in real-world applications. CRH will also provide customer feedback to address safety, performance, operational, and compliance requirements for the aggregates industry.

This collaboration aligns with CRH’s climate-related objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its operations by using more sustainable equipment. CRH has set a target to achieve a 30% reduction in absolute carbon emissions by 2030 (from a 2021 base year) and aims to be a net-zero business by 2050.
