Benefits:
The Caterpillar Large Power Systems Division (LPSD) has locations across the world where large engine platforms for multiple Caterpillar brands are developed, designed, and manufactured to be used in oil & gas, electric power, marine, rail and Cat machine applications. LPSD also designs and manufactures drivetrains and the four key engine systems -- fuel systems, air systems, aftertreatment systems and cooling systems that determine the cost and performance trajectory of most Caterpillar engines and machines.
Caterpillar Inc operates in an unprecedented global regulatory enforcement environment, and the compliance expectations of Caterpillar's key regulators, its Board of Directors, customers and investors have never been higher. The news today is full of real cases of the financial and reputational damage caused at large multinational corporations by emissions regulatory infringement. Caterpillar's global footprint, key markets and industries, growth strategy and business model places emissions compliance risk at the forefront of many of our commercial and business processes. The cost, reputational harm and erosion of shareholder value caused by just one of these events cannot be overstated.
