Innovation, automation and technology take
center stage as Caterpillar re-imagines durable work of the
future
LAS
VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/
-- Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) today kicked off its year-long
centennial celebration at CES® 2025, demonstrating how the
company's leadership in driving innovation and new technologies
will continue to shape the future of industry and empower
customers. Caterpillar will be showcasing its investment in the
core technologies of autonomy, connectivity and digital,
alternative fuels and electrification to show how they will help
customers tackle the energy transition and build the jobsite of the
future.
"The technology we are bringing to CES is a culmination of how
Caterpillar has continued innovating to make industry safer,
smarter, more sustainable and more powerful," said Rob Hoenes, Caterpillar senior vice president of
the Electrification and Energy Solutions Division. "We have created
an immersive, interactive experience for attendees that highlights
the durable customer solutions that Caterpillar is known for,
underscored by data and executed with cutting-edge technology."
The Caterpillar Experience
Visitors at CES will experience innovation in action, including the
55,000-pound Cat® 972 Wheel Loader featuring an Extended Range
Electrified Machine (EREM) technical demonstrator of a hybrid
retrofit – which was built in just 12 weeks by a small group of
engineers. The battery-electric demonstrator maintains impressive
performance similar to a diesel machine and does not require DC
charging, offering a new, sustainable solution without the need for
additional electrical infrastructure on the jobsite.
Caterpillar's exhibit will feature additional opportunities to
see innovation in practice, including:
- Sustainable solutions on the jobsite – Experience a
24-hour electrified jobsite simulation, demonstrating the data
insights and energy flows real-world customers are already using at
jobsites thanks to Caterpillar's ecosystem of electric
innovations.
- Tools for the next 100 years – On-site attendees will
see innovation on display through a Centennial Hub showcasing 10
decades of technology advancements with a heavy focus on
sustainability-related innovations.
- Cat® Command technologies – Feel what it's like to
harness the power of Cat in the palm of your hand. This
remote-control technology enables autonomous control of machines,
enhancing safety and efficiency for our customers.
At Caterpillar, continuous innovation has always been driven by
one thing: what the company's customers need. And what they need
right now are options that solve today's problems while taking them
to the next step in their own digital and energy transition
journeys.
