• VisionLink® is a cloud-based software application that seamlessly provides data to your desktop or mobile device, taking the guesswork out of fleet management with key insights to maximize performance – regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.

    

• Convenient parts availability and dealer locations

    
• The Cat C15 engine meets Brazil MAR-1 emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA standards.

    

• Cat engines meeting Brazil MAR-1 emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA standards, are compatible with diesel fuel blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels* up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.

    

• Automatic Load Control helps you save fuel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by automatically matching propel speed to engine load for maximum production at peak efficiency

    

• Electronically controlled All-Wheel Drive with Traction Control maintains consistent traction to increase machine efficiency, helps reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions

    

• Performance and safety can be augmented with cameras that are viewed on a large, in-cab display

    

• Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine

    

• Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S℠) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine’s operation and maintenance manual for more information.

    

• The engine, hydraulic system and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank (if required) are equipped with ecology drains for easy servicing and to help prevent spillage
