Caterpillar working on Moon Truck

To build that Lunar base, we're going to need construction equipment. [Link]
Caterpillar Inc., a company known for their heavy earth moving machines and the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, is looking to tackle that issue. They’ve partnered with NASA to create technology that could benefit construction and mine workers everywhere in the future, whether they grab a hard-hat or a space helmet on their way to work.
They are working on tele-operated and autonomous vehicles, usable here on Earth as well as on the Moon.
