Finning deliver UK's first Cat Hybrid excavator

摘要

Finning have delivered the first Caterpillar 336EL Hybrid excavator in the UK to Dumbarton-based quarrying specialists William Thompson & Son Ltd, suppliers of quarry products, haulage, landfill for inert materials and plant hire services to all sectors of the construction and building industry across the west of Scotland. The new Cat 336EL Hybrid excavator will be put to work in the company's main quarry, where it is expected to save the company approximately £70,000 on fuel costs alone across five years of machine ownership. Commenting on the deal, Alistair Murdoch from Finning said: 'When we originally approached William Thompson & Son, we quoted a Cat 336EL excavator as a direct replacement against a competitor. The customer currently runs a Cat 336DL, so we were able to comprehensively review a number of different factors, including fuel usage, and this led us to change our original proposal to the Cat 336EL Hybrid excavator.
