Teck chooses Caterpillar to decarbonize haulage fleet
Teck Resources (TSX: TECK.A; TSX: TECK.B; NYSE: TECK) has announced an agreement with Caterpillar to work towards deploying 30 of Caterpillar’s zero-emissions large haul trucks at Teck mining operations.
Decarbonizing Teck’s vehicle fleet represents a significant reduction in Scope 1 emissions as Teck works towards its goals to reduce the carbon intensity of its operations by 33% by 2030 and be a carbon-neutral operator by 2050.
“Teck is already one of the world’s lowest carbon intensity producers of copper, zinc and steelmaking coal, and now we are taking further action to develop and implement the technology needed to reduce the carbon footprint of our operations and support global efforts to combat climate change,” said Don Lindsay, Teck’s president and CEO.
