The Caterpillar Marine Power Systems Asia Pacific team, which is joining forces with Cat dealer personnel and the Cat Financial crew, are all looking forward to discussing new business opportunities and to welcoming existing Caterpillar customers.

In 2009, Making Progress Possible will be the key message and recurring theme of the Caterpillar booth. It describes the commitment to continue contributing to world-wide progress by driving positive and sustainable change. At the exhibition, Making Progress Possible will be demonstrated by showcasing latest advancements achieved in technology, global customer support solutions and finance and insurance packages offered by Cat Financial.

MaK Asia distributor representatives will be on the stand to discuss innovative MaK technologies including Cat Common Rail (CCR), FlexCam Technology (FCT), and DICARE. Subject matter experts on Cat branded engines will provide the latest information on engine technology and emissions compliance, including new Cat Diesel Electric Propulsion (DEP) generator set packages and new Marine Classification Society (MCS) Auxiliary Generator Sets. Along with new marine engine solutions, Cat and MaK genuine spare parts, Free Engine Inspection Program and World-wide Extended Service Coverage (ESC) will be highlighted.
