ENERGY, FUEL ECONOMY & EMISSIONS BUILDING BETTER JOBSITES — CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES The construction industry demands sustainable solutions that are tough, reliable and versatile. From navigating narrow doorways to climbing rocky hills, our range of fuel- efficient products help our customers get the job done. COMMITMENT TO MORE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS Customers can reduce emissions up to 45% utilizing products with advanced technology such as the D6 XE, 966 XE, 972 XE, 980 XE, 982 XE, 320 or 336. Further, customers can utilize low-carbon intensity fuels in a majority of our Construction Industries products allowing for an opportunity to reduce lifecycle emissions up to 85%. What’s next? We are integrating advanced power sources into the next generation of products to help customers continue to meet their sustainability goals while also delivering the requirements of the jobsite and application. HELPING CONSTRUCTION CUSTOMERS REDUCE EMISSIONS TODAY For the first time in the 10- to 12-ton medium wheel loader size class, the Cat 980 XE and 982 XE models now feature the Caterpillar designed and manufactured continuous variable transmission (CVT). Introduced in mid-2021, these medium wheel loaders include an expanded technology platform helping customers lower emissions with improved fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. Deep system integration of the Cat CVT, engine, hydraulic and cooling systems significantly improve fuel efficiency up to 35%. The Next Gen Cat 966 XE and 972 XE Wheel Loaders — updated in late 2021—also improve fuel efficiencies up to 35% compared to the previous powershift models. Prolonged service intervals plus efficiencies gained through integration of the CVT powertrain result in even lower maintenance costs further reducing operating costs. 24CATERPILLAR 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
