Designed to lower fuel costs and increase operating efficiency, the updated Cat 992K Wheel Loader features Caterpillar's Economy Mode operation. With the On-Demand Throttle arrangement, the 992K automatically manages engine speed, combining the ef- ficiency of a manual throttle with ergonomic throttle lock operation.
