Caterpillar launched the latest addition to its line of D8 dozers at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026. Instead of a conventional torque converter, the D8 XE’s Cat C15 engine drives a generator, in turn powering an electric motor connected to the final drives. Caterpillar Market Professional Sam Meeker touts the dozer's fuel savings, saying it consumed up to 10% less fuel and moved 6% more material in a given timeframe as compared to the standard D8.
