Caterpillar has introduced a new generation of articulated trucks, adding built-in automation, safety features and operator-focused upgrades to the Cat 725, 730, 730 EJ and 735 models.
The trucks feature push-to-start ignition with operator ID, a redesigned cab with touchscreen controls and a Cat C13 engine that meets global emissions standards. Automatic traction control, engine overspeed protection and retarder control are now integrated to improve handling and reduce wheel slippage on difficult terrain.
Updated dump bodies provide easier loading and reduce carryback, while payload technology gives operators real-time weight data and external indicator lights. Safety enhancements include Dynamic Roll Protection, Stability Assist and Auto Wait Brake, all designed to minimize rollovers and reduce operator fatigue.
Optional features include multiview cameras, proximity detection and Operator Coaching, which provides real-time tips and video tutorials to improve efficiency and machine health. The Cat 730 EJ model retains its ejector design, allowing material discharge without raising the body for added stability and versatility.
Production of the next generation Cat articulated trucks begins in January 2026 with the 730 model.
