Caterpillar is celebrating a century of innovation, and at Bauma 2025 in Munich, the company is pulling out all the stops. Under the visionary theme “The Next 100 Years,” Caterpillar will exhibit 48 machines, including 17 new or significantly upgraded models. Among these are breakthrough battery-electric machines, the latest in Next Generation platforms, and state-of-the-art additions to their demolition, waste handling, and recycling portfolios.
One of the highlights is the battery-electric 301.9 mini hydraulic excavator—a true embodiment of sustainability and efficiency. Along with the 906 compact wheel loader and prototypes like the 320 and 950 GC, these machines are designed to deliver outstanding performance while reducing environmental impact. The electrified jobsite simulation at the Cat Performance Centre further illustrates how advanced data analytics and energy efficiency can transform operational practices.
Caterpillar’s new Next Generation compact track loaders have been re-engineered to offer increased engine power, torque, and a suite of intelligent technology features. The lineup includes the new D8 dozer, which, along with the MH3032 material handler, caters specifically to the needs of rugged applications like scrap yard operations. A prototype 140 AWD Next Generation motor grader and the new 330 UHD Ultra High Demolition hydraulic excavator highlight Caterpillar’s drive to push the boundaries of construction technology.
Notably, every machine on display integrates advanced telematics and alternative power solutions, which significantly reduce carbon footprints and improve operational safety. “This exhibition is our commitment to a smarter, more sustainable future,” commented Tony Fassino, Caterpillar Construction Industries group president. These innovations are supported by a comprehensive network of authorized dealers worldwide, ensuring that customers receive not only cutting-edge technology but also reliable service.
