Solutions

The mining and construction industries are subject to varying regulations when it comes to improving sustainability outcomes. The process is one of continual improvement, and stakeholders at every stage in the supply chain have a role to play. That includes equipment and technology providers.

We know our customers are working harder than ever to find safer, more productive and more sustainable equipment solutions. Caterpillar® and WesTrac are well-positioned to support customers in this journey - combining the industry’s broadest machine product and automation portfolio with the highest levels of engineering expertise.

Collaboration

Operations are unique, and we focus on a specific and collaborative approach to address customers’ unique business challenges. Caterpillar continuously incorporates frontline customer input as they design and develop next-generation solutions to meet their needs.

Caterpillar has a goal of making 100% of new products more sustainable than the previous generation through collaboration with customers by 2030.

Alternative Fuels and Electrification

Caterpillar’s engineers are reimagining machines in operation, equipping them with alternative power sources and ensuring compatibility with renewable fuels.

These solutions help customers run more fuel-efficient sites - reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while supporting their total cost of ownership objectives. For example, all Cat diesel engines can operate on 100% Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).

Connectivity and Automation

What customers really need are sites that are safe, predictable and productive. That’s where Caterpillar and WesTrac stands apart from competitors.

Over the past 20 years, Caterpillar have invested more than $30 billion dollars (USD) in R&D to deliver best-in-class innovation, including autonomy, alternative fuels, connectivity and electrification (AACE) technologies.

There are now 630 autonomous mining trucks across the world that have moved a combined 7.5 billion metric tons of material.

Rebuilding and Remanufacturing

Cat products are built to be rebuilt. They are designed to withstand heavy-duty operating conditions and to be restored and used for multiple lifecycles, reducing the need for raw materials and associated GHG emissions.

Designing products and components to be used throughout multiple service lifecycles is the focus of our remanufacturing approach. Since 1985, Cat dealers have completed more than 50,000 Cat Certified Rebuilds on machines, powertrains and components
