The main indoor stand, in hall B6 features more than 50 machines. With a focus on technology to deliver leading productivity, fuel economy and sustainability, the centre part of the stand will showcase:

•The new Cat® 336E H hybrid excavator that will be launched at the show. This revolutionary model uses a new hydraulic technology developed by Caterpillar and delivers uncompromised performance.
•The 988K wheel loader, also being introduced at the show, meets the stringent European Union (EU) Stage IV/United States (U.S.) EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards and offers up to 20% greater fuel efficiency compared to the previous model.
•The Cat 966K XE wheel loader, equipped with an advanced powertrain system.
•The Cat D7E electric drive track-type tractor.
 

Additional Cat machine introductions feature four mini excavators: Cat 302.2D, 302.4D and the compact radius 301.7D and 308E2, the 444F equal size tyre (EST) backhoe loader and the D6K2 track-type tractor. The recently introduced 318E hydraulic excavator and M313D wheel excavator, the 120M2 AWD motor grader as well as the 91-tonne capacity 777G off-highway truck will be on show.

Optimally matched with the 777G truck, the 6020B hydraulic mining shovel is a brand new, “clean-sheet” design that will make its market debut at bauma. With a 220-tonne operating weight and a 20-tonne payload, the 6020B is the largest Cat machine on display. Designed for simplicity and reliability, the 6020B features a new, state-of-the-art cab design with class-leading visibility, modular construction with walk-through power module for superior serviceability, and a single-engine configuration for superior efficiency.

The broad range of machines displayed includes a full representation of Cat paving products and the introduction of three new models: the AP300D paver and two utility compactors: the CB24B and CB34B XW. Those products are reviewed in a separate press release.
