Caterpillar Inc. has announced that Cat® dealer Zahid Tractor has been selected by the main contractor to supply power solutions that deliver 32 MW of prime power for The Red Sea Project.
During the construction phase of The Red Sea Project, Zahid Tractor is supplying 69 generator sets that can run on both conventional diesel and B100 biodiesel. Caterpillar’s expertise in supplying and maintaining field-proven power solutions that have allowed operation on various hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), biodiesel, and blended fuel products for more than a decade is being put to use on this project.
Zahid Tractor is supplying 69 generator sets
Zahid Tractor has already delivered, installed, and commissioned the majority of the generator sets, which are currently being used to support construction activities and workforce accommodations in weather-resistant, sound-attenuated enclosures. Client Value Agreements (CVAs), which include customer technician training, routine maintenance at predetermined periods, and round-the-clock, on-demand technical assistance, are also helping Zahid Tractor meet uptime needs.
Cat Connect Remote Access Monitoring (RAM), Caterpillar’s comprehensive data visualisation, reporting, and alert solution, is also included in the majority of the units.
“The Red Sea Project is a global showcase for demonstrating how large-scale economic development projects can incorporate sustainability into their operations to help them achieve their business goals,” said Bart Myers, general manager for Caterpillar Large Electric Power. “Caterpillar and Zahid Tractor have the advanced technologies and local expertise needed to support every phase of this high-profile project and help attain its business and sustainability targets.”
