Cat 988K XE Wheel Loader Delivers Fuel Efficiency, Lower Total Cost
The new 988K XE is the first Caterpillar wheel loader with a high-efficiency
electric drive system. Delivering high-production in all loading applications,
it's recommended for demanding job sites where fuel efficiency makes a
difference in the machine's total cost of operation.
Caterpillar production studies report efficiency increases of 25 percent
overall and up to 49 percent in face-loading applications for the new loader, compared to the industry-leading 988K. This reduces costs and helps
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint. At the same time,
the 988K XE delivers up to 10 percent higher productivity in load-and-carry
applications.
Electric drive technology lowers overall maintenance costs, while
increasing engine life expectancy of the 988K XE. Offering extended oil
change intervals of 2,000 hours, the electric drive wheel loader uses 40
percent less powertrain oil.
The durable switched reluctance (SR) drive motor, generator and inverter
are built to last through the second engine life with minimum maintenance.
Also, the electric drive design increases engine life by up to 3,500 hours,
extending time between powertrain rebuilds.
Slight changes inside the 988K XE cab provide familiar functions and feel
of the 988K, but with improved handling smoothness and ease of operation. The new loader offers a single speed range, so the machine efficiently
operates without the need for gear shifting. New virtual gears help control
ground speed and deliver smooth direction shifts.
The standard Cat Product Link offers remote data monitoring through

VisionLink, so key personnel can stay informed of critical operating data
that can help improve machine management. Additionally, the onboard
Vital Information Management System provides real-time fuel consumption, fuel efficiency and other data via an interactive touch screen display.
