It’s an exciting era for Caterpillar GCI (Global Construction Industries), established to provide solutions for customers in the construction and infrastructure sectors. At the forefront of innovation, the division is responsible for delivering the cutting-edge Next Gen range of equipment which has revolutionised the industry for the past couple of years. These machines — typically 13 tonne to 95t excavators, medium wheel loaders, dozers from D4 up to D8, and motor graders from the 120 up to the 160 platform — incorporate advanced technology, superior efficiency, and sustainability features to address the evolving demands of global markets. Earthmoving Equipment Magazine caught up with Greg Vaughan from Cat dealer Hastings Deering to discuss the features of the new kids on the block, and how they’re so good that the models have established themselves as the definitive way of the future.
