Caterpillar's Digital Technology & Customer Sustainability

As the world becomes ever more connected, and our technologies more sophisticated, we are able to create solutions to help our customers reduce their energy use and corresponding gas (GHG) emissions of our products. We collaborate with customers to deliver customized solutions that help optimize energy use and provide training for customer operators on how to use our equipment more efficiently. In 2015, 18 percent of our reported sales and revenue was derived from products, services and solutions that demonstrate an improved sustainability benefit over existing offerings.

One example of this is our ongoing partnership with Uptake, a data-driven analytics and services firm. In 2015, Caterpillar completed a minority investment in Uptake to jointly develop an end-to-end platform for predictive diagnostics to help our customers monitor and optimize their fleets more effectively.
