Some Common Claims and Answers That Will Set the Record Straight.
Myth: Electric hybrid technology is more efficient than hydraulic hybrid technology.
Fact: Most electric hybrids require extra cooling systems due to inherent inefficiencies. The Cat hydraulic hybrid system means no loss of efficiency and no special cooling needed.
Myth: The Cat 336E H only saves fuel on swing-intensive jobs.
Fact: Applications that do not require swing will see tremendous reductions in fuel consumption—up to 25% in some cases.
Myth: The Cat 336E H is like other hybrids—underpowered and overpriced.
Fact: The 336E H is unlike any other hybrid technology available today and doesn’t involve costly or complex components. It uses only standard, proven Cat components.
Myth: The 336E H takes forever to demonstrate payback.
Fact: Although it carries a higher initial price, with fuel savings of up to 25%, the 336E H can deliver payback in as little as one year.
Myth: The 336E H is actually worse for the environment than standard model.
Fact: The 336E H reduces fuel consumption by up to 25% which translates to as much as 66 tons less CO2 produced than the standard 336E over the course of a year. That’s equivalent to taking 24 hybrid cars off the road.
