Cats purr along in Peterlee

摘要

Cat started manufacturing branded articulated trucks at the site in 1985 and they are now "a key member of Caterpillar's core product line," said Brent Losey, product manager for Cat's articulated trucks. Trader Construction Company of New Bern in the US state of North Carolina received the 50,000th unit during a recent ceremony at the Peterlee plant. Carl Huddle, president of Trader, and Gregory Poole Cat dealer representatives were on hand for the presentation of Trader's newest Cat 745 - a 41 tonne articulated truck. "Trader has owned or leased a total of 500 of Cat's 36tonne class articulated trucks over the years," said Anthony Pollock, articulated trucks marketing manager for Caterpillar.
