CATERPILLAR Inc has been showcasing the new Cat 775 off-highway truck at bauma 2025 this week.
The machine is the first next generation design of off-highway trucks for the manufacturer. Distinguishing it from the previous 775 models, the 65-tonne payload hauler is engineered to enable fully autonomous capabilities in the future.
The Cat 775 next generation truck has a planned introduction in 2026. Autonomous capabilities with MineStar Command for hauling are currently under development.
The truck features a new frame design that helps to optimise payload weight, a ‘refined’ suspension for improved ride and handling, and safety features like the 360-degree surround cameras and Cat Detect radar system.
With more body volume, the new frame is optimised for weight distribution and structural efficiency. Compared to the 775G series truck, there is nearly 30% less welding to minimise the risk of cracks and improve frame life. Cat added that less internal welding and ease of frame repairability help lower costs to maintain the new 775 over an estimated 40,000-hour truck life.
A redesigned suspension boasts a lower centre of gravity. The 775 is said to have shown to deliver better handling than previous designs, while an updated turning radius enhances manoeuvrability.
The truck is powered by the 615-kw Cat C27 engine and comes in different emissions configurations to meet different global regulations.
The cab is equipped with features to automate functions. Large windows enhance visibility to the work area and surroundings. Automatic cab temperature controls and the Cat next generation deluxe seat is designed to help to improve comfort.
360-degree surround cameras with object detection alerts operators to hazards within the immediate vicinity. Cat Detect combines radar and camera systems to automatically detect hazards within critical areas around the truck.
