Model History and Information: Caterpillar's D6 XE, introduced in 2019, is the world's first high-drive Electric Drive dozer: instead of a torque converter, its Cat C9.3B engine, rated at 215 net horsepower, drives a generator that supplies power to electric drive motors, removing the gear-shifting of a mechanical transmission for constant power to the ground. Caterpillar rates the D6 XE up to 35 percent more fuel-efficient than the previous three-speed D6T, with Cat Connect GRADE technology available for further efficiency. This 1:50 High Line replica represents the D6 XE in its Low Ground Pressure, Variable Pitch Angle Tilt (LGP VPAT) configuration, which spreads the machine's weight and adjusts blade pitch for varied grading and dozing work.
