  • Automatic Idle Control helps reduce unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
  • Automatic Load Control helps you save fuel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by automatically matching milling speed to engine load for maximum production at peak efficiency.
  • Standby/Resume pauses major machine functions and lowers engine speed to conserve fuel and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions during truck exchanges.
  • Traction Control maintains consistent traction to increase machine efficiency, helps reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The engine, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) if equipped, fuel and hydraulic systems are equipped with ecology drains for easy servicing and to help prevent spillage.
  • Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine: hydraulic oil 6000 hours with sampling, coolant 12000 hours with extender.
  • 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.
  • Cat Grade with Grade and Slope for cold planers allows for accurate material planning to help reduce overages during the paving process and increase final project quality for a longer lasting road surface.
  • Don’t waste fuel idling. Cat VisionLink® online fleet monitoring helps you manage idle time and reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • VisionLink displays the CO2 emissions for monitored assets, calculated by fuel type for the Runtime Fuel Burned each day in a selected date range.

*Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel.
