Fuel efficient products, battery electric prototype and remanufactured engine highlight sustainable offerings at the Association of Equipment Manufacturers' Celebration of Construction in Washington, D.C.

WASHINGTON, May 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) is bringing its iconic yellow iron to the Celebration of Construction on the National Mall to showcase innovative products, technology and services helping its customers build the nation's – and the world's – infrastructure. Caterpillar customers construct the roads, bridges, seaports and runways that connect people to jobs, opportunities and one another.

Wheel loaders are a constant on construction sites helping build roads, performing site prep, filling trucks and transporting materials. The Cat® 966 XE wheel loader delivers increased fuel efficiency, premium performance with simple-to-use standard technologies to boost operator efficiencies and lower maintenance costs. This machine is designed to meet emission standards without interrupting operation.

Cat® C9 engines can be remanufactured. Cat Reman products highlight our commitment to sustainability by providing like-new performance and reliability at fraction-of-new costs when returning the used core.

Our commitment to a reduced-carbon future includes helping our customers achieve their climate-related objectives. The Cat® 301.9 battery electric mini excavator prototype is one of Caterpillar's four construction industry products being developed to help support our customers' climate-related objectives. Our customers also value compact track loaders on a jobsite - they dig, grade, move material, run work tools and load. The Cat® 299D3 vertical lift design delivers extended reach and lift height.

"This celebration provides an opportunity to showcase the importance of infrastructure investment," said Caterpillar Construction Industries Group President Tony Fassino. "We have a nearly 100-year legacy of providing products and services that continually improve the quality of life and the environment by helping our customers fulfill society's need for infrastructure, including shelter, clean water, transportation and reliable energy."

Caterpillar offers multiple solutions made to match its customers' work, some of which are on display at Caterpillar's exhibit at the Celebration of Construction on the National Mall:
