Heidelberg Materials has revealed a successful collaboration at its Lake Bridgeport quarry in Texas with Pronto.ai.
The company has applied Pronto’s Autonomous Haulage System to its mixed fleet of Caterpillar and Komatsu haul trucks. This fleet includes Caterpillar 775G rigid frame trucks alongside Komatsu HD605-8 and next-generation Komatsu HD605-10 trucks.
Using the autonomous technology, more than two million tonnes of material has been hauled at Lake Bridgeport quarry.
“We are excited to mark this important milestone at our Lake Bridgeport quarry. It showcases our strong commitment to scaling innovative solutions that drive operational excellence at Heidelberg Materials,” Heidelberg Materials global director of Competence Center aggregates and asphalt Scott Tipping said.
“Our partnership with Pronto not only contributes to enhancing efficiency and safety at our sites, but it also helps us address recruiting challenges while further accelerating our sustainability efforts.
“Building on this achievement, we will continue to expand autonomous haulage to more than a dozen sites in North America, Europe, and APAC, further advancing the digitization of the building materials industry.”
The project at Lake Bridgeport quarry is the first phase of a global agreement between the two organisations which was announced in February 2025. The two companies are going ahead with a worldwide roll-out of Pronto AHS to over 100 trucks.
