FINNING INTERNATIONAL INC. In its recently announced third quarter 2023 results, Imperial Oil revealed that it has now completed its autonomous haulage program with all 81 of its Caterpillar 363 t class 797F heavy haul trucks at its Kearl oil sands mine in Alberta now fully converted to autonomous operation.
CEO Brad Corson stated: "With this, we now operate the largest autonomous fleet in our industry and one of the largest autonomous mining fleets in the world, which enables us to capture improvements in truck productivity, further enhance our safe operating environment, and also reduce operating costs. I'm very proud of what we have achieved to date with this program, and we continue to look at other potential opportunities to expand our autonomous concept to other areas of our mine fleet. This program reflects our commitment to safety, technology and innovation and becoming the lowest cost operator."
