Hawthorne Hauls Blocks for Mission House Garden NewsBeat THE NEXT LEVEL Hawthorne CAT has recently launched Caterpillar’s exclusive new Tier 4 technology in Hawaii, designed specifically to reduce the environmental impact of large equipment. The new Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB engines provide an combination of electronic, fuel, air and after-treatment components, based on engine size, the type of application and the geographic location. The engines have been specfically designed to meet or exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards set to take effect next year. Highlights include: up to 5 percent improvement in fuel efficiency and up to 90 percent reduction in particulate matter (PM) and 50 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. “Hawthorne CAT is proud to bring this world-class technology to Hawaii,” says Bobby Whitworth, general manager of Hawaii operations for Hawthorne CAT. “The new Tier 4 engines increase efficiencies to bring down costs as well as the impact on our environment.” Kahu Curt Kekuna performs the blessing during the groundbreaking. Participants included (from left): David Cheever, former-interim director of Mission Houses Museum; Anela Andrade (behind Kekuna), executive director of Punana Leo o Kawaiahao; Teddi Anderson of The Limtiaco Company, representing Hawthorne CAT; Dr. Thomas Woods, executive director of Mission Houses Museum; and Mission Houses Museum board members, Leilani McGuire and Charles Black.
