Caterpillar has announced the extension and further expansion of its fuel consumption guarantee and a parts availability guarantee, both bundled with telematics solutions. This program, Cat Pays You Back, goes beyond the iron and supports the advances in product technology from Caterpillar.

“Even at lower per gallon prices, fuel still represents up to 50 percent of our customers’ operating costs,” says Jason Hurdis, Senior Market Professional. “The Cat Pays You Back bundled solutions offer has been very successful in reducing our customers’ pain points with an aggressive fuel consumption guarantee, parts guarantee and benchmark fleet analysis. The good results have led to requests from our customers and dealers to extend the program beyond June 30, 2016. We have done just that and extended the solution to the end of the year – and we took it to the next level by including even more Caterpillar models.”

According to the company, Caterpillar is the only manufacturer to guarantee fuel consumption rates for more than 160 new machines. The ongoing investment in research and development and the information they provide about the impact fuel has on operating costs, helps empower customers to focus on the fundamentals. By targeting and advancing key factors within their daily operations, customers will be able to cut costs, increase productivity and get more work from every tank of fuel. With this program, customers work daily and await the telematics data to know if Caterpillar will indeed “pay them back.”
