In what it claims is an unprecedented new initiative Finning UK & Ireland is supporting the fuel economy on the latest models of Cat machines.
The fuel promise is available to customers who take one of the company’s service contracts (customer value agreements) when they purchase any of the latest models of excavators, wheel loaders, dozers and trucks.
Andrew Bradbury, product manager at Finning, explains: “For most industrial operations using heavy plant machinery, fuel can account for up to 30% of costs. Although fuel prices have stabilised in the UK & Ireland, we have still seen a significant increase over the last few years and the long-term picture is uncertain at best. Anyone buying a new Cat machine with one of our customer value agreements means we can guarantee the average fuel consumption will be below a certain level specified for that machine”.
The fuel promise states that Finning will reimburse the customer in the form of credits if consumption levels rise above the agreed level.
