Caterpillar at bauma 2019

Widest-ever range of Cat equipment, technology and services on display at world’s largest construction equipment show

CATERPILLAR Inc. are showcasing more equipment, technology and services than ever before at bauma 2019, the world’s largest construction industry trade show. The expansive Caterpillar display features diverse product lines with new offerings, as well as an interactive display of the company’s enhanced services.

‘Cat construction machines are available with more automation, integrated technology and digital solutions that enable customers to focus on their most important task: running their businesses,’ said Caterpillar Construction Industries’ group president, Ramin Younessi.

 

‘We are working to significantly decrease owning and operating costs while increasing power density and the use of alternative fuels, maximizing the efficiency of power systems, and expanding electrification in our product lines. We want to ensure our customers are successful with Caterpillar solutions.’

Caterpillar’s new technologies build upon decades-long experience in automation, technological development and electrification. The company’s exhibit at bauma includes:

  • Next Generation Cat machines offering functions such as Grade, Payload, Detect and Command that maximize production, reduce costs and improve safety.
  • The world’s first high-drive electric-drive dozer, the D6 XE; offering up to 35% better fuel efficiency than its D6T predecessor.
  • A concept 906 fully electric zero-emission compact wheel loader powered by a lithium-ion battery with an electric drivetrain.
  • The 988K XE, Caterpillar’s first diesel/electric-drive wheel loader, which significantly improves fuel efficiency and productivity.
  • Three new Cat Next Generation excavators, including the 330 and 336, equipped with integrated Cat technology that can increase operating efficiency up to 45%, compared with conventional grading operations, and can enhance fuel efficiency by as much as 20%, compared with predecessor models.

‘Beyond core product offerings, customers also have a choice of services that best fit their individual needs and budgets,’ said Damien Giraud, vice-president of Global Aftermarket Solutions Division. ‘Services range from new aftermarket products to service agreements, and full-fleet tracking through the new Cat App, the industry’s first mobile app designed to track critical machine operating data from the field.’

In total, Caterpillar are displaying 64 machines, 20 of them new introductions, a large selection of work tools and a full slate of dealer-delivered support services. Together, Caterpillar and German dealer Zeppelin Cat have approximately 13,000 square meters of exhibit space at bauma 2019.
