In the global construction machinery industry, CATERPILLAR has long been known for its innovation and reliability. Recently, the company's new generation 320 hydraulic excavator has once again proved its leadership in environmental protection and efficiency, becoming a strong competitor in medium to heavy-duty applications.

CATERPILLAR's excavator products have been evolving for decades to meet market and customer needs. Starting with the demand for large, high-power machines in the European mining market in the late In the 1960s, CATERPILLAR focused on developing more advanced mining techniques. In 1972, the company introduced the first customer-available hydraulic excavator, the 225, which revolutionized job site productivity with its superior lifting, excavating and loading capabilities.

In the 21st century, CATERPILLAR continues to lead the industry as global demands for environmental protection and energy efficiency continues to increase. In 2007, the company introduced the 320D excavator model, which integrates advanced engine performance optimization techniques while reducing exhaust emissions to meet stringent global emissions standards. This innovation laid a solid foundation for CATERPILLAR's subsequent products.

The introduction of the new 320 hydraulic excavator to the market in 2017 is not only the latest manifestation of CATERPILLAR's commitment to environmental protection and efficiency, but also the company's commitment to helping customers achieve their climate and business goals. The new generation family of hydraulic excavators significantly increases productivity and efficiency by optimizing machine system performance. Since its launch, the success of the system has led CATERPILLAR to migrate more models to the platform in each subsequent year, with more than 50 models across the entire excavator line adopting the technology by 2022.

The new generation 320 hydraulic excavator uses a combination of a low-speed engine and a large hydraulic pump to achieve a perfect balance of high performance and low fuel consumption. Its 320 Cat diesel engine can run on up to 20% biodiesel fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) or 100% renewable diesel, hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO), and gas-to-liquid (GLT) fuels, further demonstrating CATERPILLAR's leadership in sustainable energy use.

In addition, CATERPILLAR's VisionLink technology displays the CO2 emissions of monitored assets, calculated based on the type of fuel burned during operation, providing customers with clear data on energy use and environmental impact, helping them better manage their businesses and meet environmental goals.

The launch of CATERPILLAR's new generation 320 hydraulic excavator not only demonstrates the company's innovation capabilities in the field of construction machinery, but also highlights its strong commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development. As the global demand for green, efficient technologies continues to grow, CATERPILLAR will continue to lead the industry in transforming and creating more value for our customers.
