Construction and mining leaders are discovering that electric equipment options already exist to accelerate their decarbonization efforts
How prepared is the construction and mining industry for the energy transition?
Richard Sambrook, the GM for services and commercial development at Caterpillar, Inc, discussed their readiness for the energy transition at CES 2024 and called attention to the availability of fully electric machines in production today.
At the show, Sambrook stated there are a number of energy transition solutions to be discovered, and explained what the journey could look like in achieving them.
"In terms of, are we ready? I guess we've got solutions that are out there ready for customers. However, there's still a lot we've got to learn. It's an awful lot to learn, and that's what we're here to do over the next few years and learn as much as possible," said Sambrook.

About the author
Asking the most exciting, innovative, cutting-edge companies in transportation/mobility the “Are We There Yet?” question is a lot of fun, and the focus of Grant Harrell's top video podcast series! And, it’s not a bad question as so much is truly happening in this space today. What used to be trains, planes, and automobiles is now robots, drones, and spaceships, and Grant is curious about how soon we are all going to see these technologies in action, at scale. Very few of us enjoy a car that drives itself, have dinner delivered via drone, or have taken a vacation to space, but these amazing technologies and applications, as Grant discovers within his "Are We There Yet?" podcast series, are here, or as he likes to say, "we're there"! Grant also serves as the Head of Transportation/Mobility for MarketScale, one of the fastest-growing, most-successful, fun b2b media companies in the industry! MarketScale works behind the scenes for many of the top brands today, building their brand, engaging their communities, and telling their incredible stories! Within Grant's leadership of MarketScale's Transportation/Mobility division, he enjoys working with top companies within automotive to aviation, micro-mobility to marine, drones to space exploration, and everyone in between. And, Grant encourages you to reach out to him directly and set up a meeting, because as he says, "whats the point of all of this transportation/mobility technology development if we aren't headed somewhere fun to meet someone interesting"!
