Caterpillar is working with Luck Stone to expand autonomous hauling technology to two additional Virginia operations, following a pilot at the Bull Run quarry. Since going live in November 2024, autonomous trucks at Bull Run have hauled more than 3.5 million tons. The deployment was the first use of Caterpillar autonomous technology on a Cat 775 truck, extending the technology beyond large mining applications into quarry and aggregates. The expansion supports Caterpillar’s goal of tripling its number of autonomous trucks by 2030 compared with 2024.
