LAS VEGAS, March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Caterpillar Inc.
(NYSE: CAT) is showcasing its latest products, services and
technologies while paying tribute to those who build the world's
infrastructure at CONEXPO 2020. Show attendees will have the
opportunity to experience three Caterpillar exhibits totaling more
than 60,000 square feet of outdoor and indoor space featuring more
than 30 machines and roughly ten engine displays that include the
latest hybrid technology.
"Every day, we strive to make our customers more successful
using our products and services," said Caterpillar Chief Executive
Officer Jim Umpleby. "This year's
CONEXPO provides a hands-on opportunity to demonstrate how we can
help reduce our customers' total owning and operating costs, while
increasing uptime and asset utilization, so they can profitably
continue their work to build a better world."
New for CONEXPO 2020, Caterpillar's outdoor Operator Stadium at
Festival Grounds reinforces the company's commitment to services
and technologies with hubs for customers to learn about the latest
offerings. In addition to the products on display, the exhibit will
also have live equipment demonstrations and is the site of the
Global Operator Challenge championship. Only nine regional
champions remain from the more than 10,000 operators who
participated in local competitions throughout 30 countries. The
champion will be named Tuesday afternoon, March 10.
Also new this year in the North Hall, the Caterpillar Foundation
will host an immersive activation called The Community Builder,
showcasing the issues and decisions facing leaders who are building
stronger, more sustainable communities. Visitors will be immersed
in one of three locations around the world, where they will decide
how best to build resilience in a crisis. By completing the
experience, visitors will activate a donation by the
Foundation to a community-building non-profit.
"This year's Caterpillar CONEXPO experience celebrates the
people who operate our equipment, work in our industries and
demonstrates how we put the customer first," said Ramin Younessi, Caterpillar Group President for
Construction Industries. "We will also have experts on hand to
highlight how our technologies and services are helping increase
customers' safety, productivity and efficiency."
Caterpillar exhibit highlights include:
