Just a small question about the truck on the first pics, will this one be equipped with some kind of autonomous haulage system? Think I had seen similar additions on an autonomous Komatsu.... Think


No, all that stuff is Caterpillars Work Area Vision System WAVS for short, just like reverse systems on cars to a degree to let you know something is there that you otherwise would not see.

Out of curiosity... when you said the dealer had "gone under" due to the water, do you mean that it went bankrupt or that it was also submerged?


If a Cat dealer went broke in Australia it would be unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!
