In plain English
Caterpillar is the world's biggest maker of the heavy yellow iron that builds and digs the physical economy — excavators, dozers and dump trucks — sold almost entirely through a network of independent dealers. But its fastest-growing engine now is power: the Solar Turbines and reciprocating gensets that increasingly back up AI data centres, on top of a captive finance arm that lends customers the money to buy the machines.
