1Data includes remanufacturing offerings provided by Cat Reman, Progress Rail, Solar® Turbines, Caterpillar Energy Solutions and Caterpillar Defense.
2For this goal, new products include new or improved prime product such as machines, engines, generator sets, upper powertrain and other complete solutions sold directly to a customer, OEM or dealer under any majority-owned brand. Exclusions from the goal include, but are not limited to, new source introduction programs, work tools, component development programs for prime product, defense products, aftermarket kits or site solutions. Collaborating with customers is key to Caterpillar’s identification of sustainability criteria. To meet the goal requirements, products must meet one or more of the four criteria in comparison to the previous generation: reduced waste, improved design for rebuild/remanufacturing, lower emissions or improved efficiency.
