Additional Information
The Cat 988 XE features a highly advanced switched reluctance electric drive system that delivers up to 25% greater overall efficiency and up to 49% more efficiency in face-loading applications compared to the standard 988. This innovative technology eliminates the torque converter and transmission, reducing mechanical complexity and lowering maintenance costs. Integrated Cat technologies, including Cat Payload and Operator Assist, further optimise loading cycles, prevent tyre spin, and maximise bucket fill factors for unmatched productivity on Australian worksites.
