Another interesting new topic, for the channel?
This has got to be the best electrification content I’ve seen in ten years!
Great! Excellent conversation there.
John was great. Personable and informative.
Thanks for a view on this part of transformation to an electric powered future.
I own & operate a Terex PT50 (equivalent to a ASV RC50) compact skid steer loader, and it would be a FAR superior machine if it were battery electric. I'm currently burning 6 litres of diesel per hour in my Terex and it's very noisy in the cab. An electric motor driving each track would deliver a higher travel speed and greater torque, so I could drive this machine up slopes with a fully loaded bucket (all up around 4 tonnes) with no reduction in speed. Plus it would be quiet. I want one tomorrow!
Incredible episode. Please go to the proving grounds!
John was awesome, super exciteable and knowledageble, I liked seeing the other CAT employees at the end like "should we intervene?" and the other one was like "nah, let him cook, he's got this"
Very cool video
Mind blown! Yes, go to CAT!
Nerdfest! , but in a good way
Great job K, when you said CAT is leading the way in electric equipment. I wondered about your due diligence on that comment or did you shoot from the hip like "brandon" did. This guy is the best darn speaker ive ever heard.
I would like to see a video on electric farm equipment.
They need to get NACS
This is unreal! I thought it was funny when the lady walked up and stood there with them near the dozer. ðŸ˜
I’m worried about the implications for this, but not because of it being electrified, these are designed to run for about 8 hours use , but at the end of the day that means plugging in, most machines are left in the field , and most off grid , at best you can charge 1 or two a night , but a small fleet, further more if the generator is on site to power the charging us less than ideal , but further more many corps have known of a high degree of equipment often being stolen, this will only increase the likelihood and increase the disrupts that generator or equipment is damaged or stolen, a gas powered they can easily truck in juice but off grid these machines will become a 5 to 14tonn brick , leaving operators ever the extra cost to move each night or run the risk of having to run extra security to protect the site , further more the hire market will have these issues and more as it’s more than likely the unit will be run till empty, making recovery incredibly difficult
Rather than putting a few litres of diesel in your excavator, you expend a ton more fuel moving the giant battery pack around – makes total sense.
Great Job Kyle. As CAT engineer I was so happy to see some solid CAT content on the channel! We have a lot going on in the electrification space.
Great video!
This was great! CAT has always been pretty forward thinking and it's awesome to see they are going all in on electric.
Hey Kyle, only good feedback. Please slow down a bit and think about getting high quality camera to expand viewership!
Wow, very insightful video. John was great at explaining everything.
You should try to talk with Sanvik and their BEV mining offerings.
Caterpillar also won the PMI project of the year for their EV project.
For Quebec province who nationalized hydro energy, that will be interesting to lower cost of operations and reduce sell costs of raw mining materials.
How's the battery warranty on that loader?
I would love to see some of these machines in action. Thanks for another great video!
Good stuff. We need more EV mining equipment to stop the "mining is so environmentally unfriendly" arguement.
