TOGETHER, WE'RE MINING BETTER

Proven Technology and a Partnership Approach

When Imperial Oil made the decision to implement autonomous haulage at its Kearl operation, the company faced a number of firsts. Kearl was the first application of Cat MineStar Command for hauling in the extreme weather and challenging underfoot conditions found in the oil sands. And it was the first time Caterpillar had implemented Command for hauling on 797F trucks.
