It’s been called the most powerful tech event in the world. The CES (Consumer Electronics show) is a massive annual event showcasing the latest innovations in consumer technology. So why is Caterpillar attending CES 2024? Science fiction-like tech may get the most media attention, but Caterpillar is showcasing how technologies can solve real-world problems today – not years in the future. Senior Vice President of the Electrification + Energy Solutions Division (E+ES) – Rod Shurman – knows a lot of people, including customers, might be surprised to see Caterpillar and CES in the same sentence. On this Beyond The Iron podcast, he talks about why it makes sense to be at CES and and how we’re showcasing the company’s machines and energy solutions to meet the evolving needs of Cat customers as they electrify their job sites.
