Modified: 5/14/2021 2:21:10 PM
There were no roll call votes in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local representatives’ roll call attendance records for the 2021 session through May 7. The House has held 32 roll calls so far in 2021. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each representative votes and then calculates that number as a percentage of the total roll call votes held. That percentage is the number referred to as the roll call attendance record.
The vast majority of the 160 representatives are not in the House chamber during a session because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sources tell Beacon Hill Roll Call that they have seen as few as 12 members in the chamber and as many as 40. The rest watch the session from their home or business and vote remotely.
Caterpillar Autonomous Haul Trucks Surpass 3 Billion Tonnes Milestone
Autonomous trucks using Cat MineStar Command for hauling have surpassed the 3 billion tonnes milestone for material moved.
May 14th, 2021
In May 2020, Caterpillar announced it had hit a significant milestone in autonomous haulage by achieving 2 billion tonnes (2.2 billion short tons) hauled using Cat MineStar Command for hauling – doubling the amount hauled since reaching the 1 billion tonnes mark in November 2018.
Now, just 12 months later, an additional 1 billion tonnes of material has been successfully hauled by Cat autonomous trucks, enabling the company to surpass the 3 billion tonnes milestone. The achievement is joined by an expansion of the types of commodities hauled autonomously across a growing number of Cat mining truck class sizes, as well as other brands of mining equipment.
