Autonomous hauling (MineStar Command)
Customer deployments continue, with a new quarry customer (Carmeuse) announced in May 2026.
What it is
Cat MineStar Command runs autonomous haul trucks at mine and quarry sites. Caterpillar also unveiled a wider range of autonomous construction machines at CES in January 2026.
Why it matters to the stock. Autonomy adds recurring software and service revenue and lifts equipment utilisation, but revenue contribution has not been broken out in company reporting.
