Caterpillar's Electric D11 XE Dozer Boosts Mining Efficiency

Caterpillar has released its first electric drive large dozer, the Cat D11 XE. This machine is designed to increase productivity and lower operating costs for mining operations.

The new Cat D11 XE offers up to a 25% reduction in fuel consumption per unit of material moved, and can move 5-10% more material per hour than the next generation Cat D11.

The electric drivetrain has 60% fewer moving parts than a mechanical drive system, simplifying service and reducing owning and operating costs over the life of the machine.
