Attendees at CES 2024 are set to expertise the “Power of Possible” at Caterpillar Inc.’s roughly 9,600 sq.ft (892 sq.m) exhibit on January 9-12 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This 12 months’s show focuses on Caterpillar’s electrical machines and power options to fulfill the evolving wants of consumers as they electrify their job websites, Caterpillar says, with the OEM persevering with to innovate and put money into electrification, various fuels, connectivity and digital options as a part of this focus.
Rod Shurman, Senior Vice President of Caterpillar’s Electrification + Energy Solutions division, mentioned: “We are delighted to return to CES to showcase our advancements in energy solutions. This event is known as the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators which makes it the ideal place for us to showcase our leadership in power systems and integrated service solutions to help our customers in the energy transition. We’re putting our expertise to work on multiple advanced power technologies to enable the energy transition solutions that our customers need to be successful in a reduced-carbon world.”
The exhibit’s centrepiece, the Cat® R1700 XE LHD underground loader, gives a 15-t payload. The zero-exhaust emission loader contains the business’s solely on-board battery, eliminating the necessity to deal with or trade batteries, Caterpillar claims. It expenses in lower than 20 minutes when paired with two of the Cat MEC500 chargers, a standalone charging system designed to cost shortly and safely as wanted.
Also on show is the corporate’s 301.9 mini excavator, the primary machine with a Caterpillar battery.
Alongside this, the corporate is ready to showcase lower-carbon depth on-site energy manufacturing options, corresponding to mills working on a wide range of renewable fuels, photo voltaic panels and hydrogen powered gasoline cells, plus battery power storage options, together with the compact XEX60.
The on-board battery pack on show at CES is designed to energy the 301.9 mini excavator with a complete capability of 32 kWh and a nominal voltage of 48 V. Cat battery packs include a modular design with manufacturing unit built-in telematics and a rugged construction to endure the use on our heavy gear, the corporate says.
Additionally displayed at CES shall be a Cat 750 V electrical motor and inverter, parts that help a wide range of machines and energy methods. A 750 DC motor offers mechanical energy for the machine motion when commanded by the operator. The inverter transfers energy to the electrical motor from an onboard Caterpillar machine energy supply like a generator or battery.
Lastly, Cat digital options will function at CES, showcasing the power to observe Caterpillar gear and energy options for the supply of superior analytics, reworking information into buyer insights making it simpler for patrons to personal and function their gear, the corporate mentioned.
