Caterpillar unveiled its next-generation hydraulic excavator range during a press event it hosted in Spain.
The launch was held at the company’s Malaga Demonstration and Learning Center.
Caterpillar hosted the unveiling of the three new models on the evening of 9 October, 2017.
The grand reveal also touched on the history of the company, in addition to highlighting the appearance of a Cat excavator in the film, Transformers: The Last Knight.
Caterpillar’s three new excavator models are called the 320, the 323, and the 320 GC.
Speaking at the products’ reveal, Herwig Peschl, global marketing manager of Caterpillar, said: “Up to 45% efficiency improvement for the operator, up to 25% reduction in fuel consumption, and up to 15% maintenance cost reduction – this is game changing.”
A Caterpillar representative demonstrated the functions of the different features of the 320.
The new range boasts a redesigned cab, which comes with standard features like a keyless push-to-start button and a 203mm touchscreen monitor with jog dial keys for control.
Caterpillar’s new excavators also offer ground access for all daily checks.
