Hello friends!

What do you think about the new Cat loader. The machine should be diesel electric.

Best regards
Klaus

I'm falling out of love with newer machines in general, they look so bloated these days with all the emissions stuff they have to hide under the hoods, they end up looking cartoonish like a toy. I also understand that's where the industry is heading, and needs to head. Esthetically I dislike the machine, but technology wise, I think it's cool.

Looks like it's officially released today.

Is this a response to the 944K from Deere? Same size class... also electric drive. Coincidence?

heavyload,

While the CAT XE line has been available since 2013, the 966K XE and the 988K XE utilizes completely different technologies to achieve their fuel efficiency. The 966K XE has been engineered to deliver superior efficiency by utilizing an integrated Cat continuously variable transmission system. A hydraulic pump and motor (variator unit), allows for a smooth and continuous gear ratio change between engine speed and machine speed. While the new Cat® 988K XE is the first wheel loader offered by Caterpillar with a high-efficiency electric drive system.
