New Cat® 775 Off-Highway Truck Previews the Next Generation Design and the Future of Autonomy
Caterpillar is leveraging its current Autonomous Hauling Systems (AHS), Cat® MineStar™ Command for hauling, already at work at mine sites throughout the world, and scaling the system’s processes and technology to meet the specific needs for quarry operations. The Cat 775 next generation truck has a planned introduction in 2026. Autonomous capabilities with MineStar Command for hauling are currently under development, and a release date will be announced at a later date. Productivity The 775 features an innovative new frame design that helps to optimize payload weight, a refined suspension for improved ride and handling, and advanced safety features like the 360° surround cameras and Cat Detect radar system to deliver superior performance and safer and more comfortable operation.
With more body volume, the truck’s new frame is optimized for weight distribution and structural efficiency. Compared to the 775G series truck, there is nearly 30% less welding to minimize the risk of cracks and improve frame life. Less internal welding and ease of frame repairability help lower costs to maintain the new 775 over an estimated 40,000-h truck life. Its redesigned suspension boasts a lower center of gravity. The 775 has shown to deliver better handling than previous designs, and an updated turning radius enhances on-site maneuverability. Improving service life, the truck experiences less bouncing on the tires and driveline, and the operator feels less vibration and energy feedback into the truck. The truck is powered by the 615-kW (825-hp) Cat C27 engine and comes in different emissions configurations to meet different global regulations. The U.S. EPA Tier 4 final/EU Stage V version displayed at bauma offers better fuel efficiency than previous models, with advanced electronic powertrain controls that deliver faster cycles and reduced road maintenance. The truck’s enhanced ride and handling allow for higher speeds on curves and driving in higher gears, which directly reduces fuel consumption during the cycle. The ability to access and analyze accurate real-time data enables faster diagnostics and enhances the ability to predict and prevent machine failure. New for the 775, remote flash and troubleshooting capabilities help to boost truck availability. Remote flash instantly provides access to the latest software updates and enables the updates to be scheduled and executed at a time that does not interrupt the production schedule. Remote Troubleshoot enables the dealer to perform diagnostics remotely while the truck is still in operation.
