Caterpillar and Fortescue extend agreement for Cat® MineStar™ Command for hauling in Western Australia sites

This renewed agreement builds on over a decade-long deployment of Cat MineStar Command technology at Fortescue’s operations, which began in 2012 when Fortescue became the first company globally to implement Caterpillar’s autonomous haulage system (AHS) on a commercial scale.

“Fortescue has led the industry in the large-scale deployment of autonomous haulage for more than a decade. This agreement ensures continuity in the use of Cat MineStar Command across parts of our operations, supporting safe, reliable, and efficient performance on site,” said Fortescue Metals and Operations chief executive officer, Dino Otranto.

“Our work with Fortescue on autonomous haul trucks and systems to drive operational improvements at site has been longstanding. The Caterpillar team looks forward to furthering this advanced technology deployment and leadership built on the foundation of innovation set over a decade ago,” said Marc Cameron, senior vice president of Resource Industries sales, services and technology at Caterpillar.

This extended agreement supports Fortescue’s continued focus on safety and operational efficiency, aligned with its 2030 Real Zero Target.
