The 775 is the first next generation design of off-highway trucks for Caterpillar
Caterpillar showcased its new Cat 775 off-highway truck at bauma in Munich this week. The first in the next generation of off-highway trucks, this 65-tonne payload hauler is engineered to enable fully autonomous capabilities in the future.
Caterpillar taking its current Autonomous Hauling Systems (AHS), Cat MineStar Command for hauling, and scaling the system’s processes and technology to adapt it to quarries, which operate fewer trucks and don’t haul material 24 hours a day.
The 775 off-highway truck features a new frame design that helps to optimise payload weight, a refined suspension for improved ride and handling and advanced safety features like the 360-degree surround cameras and Cat Detect radar system.
Compared to previous models, the next generation 775 off-highway truck features an industry-first frame design that reduces empty weight, delivering the potential for larger payloads and lower fuel burn. Caterpillar adds that its 10 per cent larger body volume and improved turning radius helps to boost productivity and performance.
Compared to the 775G series truck, there is nearly 30 per cent less welding to minimise 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-hour truck life, Caterpillar says.
Weighing in at 111 tonnes, the truck is powered by a 615kW (825hp) Cat C27 engine and comes in different emissions configurations to meet different global regulations.
The Cat 775 next generation truck has a planned introduction in 2026, with Australian availability to be announced at a later date.
