next 100 years. Alternative power sources, reduced carbon options, and integrated technologies are the future,
and Caterpillar is ready to deliver this in collaboration with our global dealer network.”
Cat Performance Centre
The Cat Performance Centre will take centre-stage, showcasing the possibilities when power, machinery,
technology and autonomy work together. The display will focus on a range of solutions designed to support
our customers be more successful on their respective jobsites, including helping increase performance,
streamline efficiencies and achieve their sustainability goals. Visitors will have the chance to simulate how
upgrading their fleet with Caterpillar’s latest machine technologies can lead to significant reductions in fuel
consumption and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Additionally, the Cat Performance Centre will feature the latest 301.9 Mini Hydraulic Excavator and 906
Compact Wheel Loader from the battery electric product offerings, both are available through select Cat®
dealer rental fleets. The newest updates to the 320 and 950 GC prototypes will also be showcased, along with
associated charging options and services. Attendees can experience an electrified jobsite simulation, showing
data insights and energy flows that real-world customers are already benefiting from, thanks to Caterpillar’s
ecosystem of electric innovations.

Technology, Connectivity and Safety
Our experts are on hand to demonstrate advancements to VisionLink®, an integrated Cat solution for
Equipment Management, Operations Management, and Safety Management. The expanded Cat Detect
Portfolio, including People Detection, Seatbelt Monitoring, Driver Safety System (DSS), and Collision
Mitigation, will demonstrate how technologies can maximize safety and performance.
The full suite of Cat Grade offerings will be presented, including Cat® Grade with 3D and Cat Payload for
Excavators. Cat Command technology will enable remote machine operation from a safe distance, with a
demonstration of machines operating remotely from sites across Europe including at the Caterpillar
Demonstration and Learning Centre in Malaga.
Latest Equipment
Joining the compact equipment offering are three recently introduced Next Generation Compact Track Loaders
offering upgrades in engine power and torque, lift and tilt breakout forces, stability, operator comfort and
technology.
The new D8 dozer will be featured, based on the Next Generation platform. It includes a new high-end operator
station that is common with the D5-D7 platforms and comes with a 15-degree angled seat for enhanced
comfort. Additionally, it introduces a full suite of Assist features and is Cat Grade 3D ready ex-factory, with the
option to upgrade to Cat Command Remote Control.
Making its first appearance at bauma is the 140 AWD Next Generation Motor Grader. Still in prototype stage,
this 20-tonne operating weight prototype machine consolidates two existing platforms into a common next
generation platform for motor graders, providing customers more choices of features, technologies and
configurations.
The launch of the new MH3032 further expands the Material Handler line-up. Ideally suited to serve the scrap
segment with a near 15 m reach and up to 1 m3 grapple, this machine is equipped with the Ease of Use
features including 2D E-fence with Cab Avoidance, Cat Payload and Swing Assist for enhanced safety,
production and efficiency.
Further introductions to the Demolition, Waste Handling and Recycling portfolios include the new 330 UHD
Ultra High Demolition Hydraulic Excavator. Standard features include the Stability Monitoring System with
light and sound indicators in the cab on the ultra-high front, Cat Payload and Cat Grade Control with 2D for the
retrofit front parts. Also joining the line-up is the introduction of the Variable Angle Boom option on the 340
VAB designed for demanding demolition sites.
Caterpillar will display two M323 Next Generation Wheeled Excavator machines, configured specifically for the
railroad industry. The new M323 railroad excavator from Caterpillar offers hydrostatic, friction or hybrid
transmission options, providing maximum versatility for customers. It features both long and short radius options addressing specific application needs, while maintaining consistent lifting capacities across both
configurations.

A new prototype Cat 775 Off-Highway Truck and the reintroduced 395 Front Shovel will be on display. The 775
transitions to the Next Generation platform with increased truck body volume; this machine was designed to
deliver superior performance and efficiency. The 395 Front Shovel features a Cat C18B engine, improved
durability and extended service intervals.
Services and Support Solutions
“Caterpillar offers integrated aftermarket solutions to drive value, maximize uptime, reduce ownership costs
and enhance operational efficiencies, said Damien Giraud, Caterpillar senior vice president of Construction
Industries Services Division. “Customer Value Agreements (CVAs), Parts.cat.com, SIS2GO, and ProductLink™
will be displayed demonstrating the company’s data-driven digital solutions aimed at maximizing
performance.”
As part of our Services Commitment, exclusive with a Customer Value Agreement, we commit to next day
maintenance and second day common repair parts availability. If parts are not available as promised, costs
may be offset by reimbursing customers for the value of the late part up to a specific amount (depending on
the country/ dealer). Additionally, the program offers a 2nd day technician response time to fix unplanned
repairs.
The Cat Certified Rebuild Programs and Cat Certified Used products will highlight how end-of-life machines
can be restored to like-new condition by skilled dealer technicians, who can also provide support beyond the
standard machine warranty with Equipment Protection Plans. These offerings can reduce the cost of buying
new equipment while also being a sustainable choice by reducing waste and consumption of raw materials.
Engines and Jobsite Power
A range of Caterpillar Industrial Engines that are compatible with renewable fuels such as 100% hydrotreated
vegetable oils (HVO) will be on display in Hall A4, stand 336, including the new C13D and a new high power
C3.6 delivering 106 kW (142 hp). The stand features the first showing of a series electric drivetrain, part of a
growing electrification ecosystem of solutions from Caterpillar; a hydrogen engine testing exhibit highlighting
the ongoing fuels development work and a remanufactured C7.1. The C13D, C9.3B and C2.8 engines will also
be featured in hall B6.
Providing reliable onsite power, our range of EUV certified mobile XQP generator sets have been specifically
designed to withstand the harsh conditions across many construction sites. The XQP115 genset, also
compatible with HVO, will be on display outside hall B6.
The XES60 mobile battery energy storage solution (BESS) will be on display inside hall B6 within the power
hub area. Since its launch, the XES BESS products have been a key piece of equipment on many construction sites with its rapid plug and play installation. It supports onsite battery electric machine charging. It can be
used with a combination of grid connection, generator sets using a variety of liquid and gaseous fuels, and
renewable energy sources, such as solar, to store surplus energy and dispatch from these reserves as needed.
With automatic monitoring of load levels, it can easily combine power sources and stored energy as necessary
increasing jobsite energy efficiency, resulting in decreased fossil fuel usage and associated GHG emissions.
