Working on Tomorrow
Shaping the Earth for the better.
A handful of changes can make a world of difference. The next 100 years are taking shape today. New environmental standards, emerging technologies, industrial best practices and legislation will continue to change the way contractors, utilities, aggregate operations and equipment manufacturers do business.
Compliance with environmental regulation is law. Failure to comply can penalize contractors with fines or shut-downs, loss of contract and damage to reputation.
Caterpillar® works to stay ahead of standards. Cat® equipment is powered by fuel-efficient ACERT™ engines, which conserve fuel and lower emissions in new and repower machines. Cat® construction is so durable, machines can often be rebuilt 2-3 times, saving resources. Cat® AccuGrade GPS cuts emissions by doing the job right the first time, eliminating rework.
Other Caterpillar® innovations include advanced electric drives, long-life SystemOne™ undercarriages, high-pressure hydraulic lines that resist leaks and rupture, and new hydraulic fluid that lasts six times longer and is twenty times more biodegradeable than older formulas. Caterpillar® works as an industry advocate to help establish responsible standards and develop sustainable products and technologies that protect our environment.
