Caterpillar: E Series meets new emissions regs

The five new compact-radius Cat E Series Mini Hydraulic Excavators — 303.5E CR, 304E CR, 305E CR, 305.5E CR and 308E CR SB — all use new engines that meet Stage IIIB /Tier 4 Interim emissions regulations and incorporate new features such as the Complete Operation, Maintenance, Performance, And Security System (COMPASS) control panel, standard high-ambient cooling package, more efficient auxiliary hydraulics, and redesigned control layout. Built into the COMPASS monitor are an anti-theft system, which requires a five-digit alphanumeric password to start the machine, and an Economy Mode feature (3.5- to 5.5-ton machines), which Cat says can potentially lower fuel use up to 20 percent by adjusting engine speed.
