Boosting fuel efficiency, cutting running costs and strengthening support for major projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Murphy has announced a \u00a36.5m investment in 34 new Cat\u00ae<\/sup> machines, supplied by Finning UK & Ireland. This is part of a strategic move to boost fuel efficiency, cut running costs and strengthen support for major infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This significant investment includes 33 excavators, ranging from the 13-tonne Cat\u00ae <\/sup>313 GC to the 35-tonne Cat 336, alongside a Cat D6 XE dozer, the first of its kind in the Murphy fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phillip Collier, Asset & Billing Manager at Murphy, said: \u201cOver the past two years, we have worked closely with Finning on several large-scale infrastructure projects and benefited from their support with fleet planning and technical expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is our first investment in Cat machines since 2017. It was driven by wanting to improve operational efficiency and sustainability across the fleet. The D6 XE is expected to reduce fuel costs by around \u00a3110 per day, as it uses on average 23% less fuel than other machines of its type, with a 35% better fuel efficiency on average. As a result, it will support our ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and sustainability across the fleet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ryan Trafford, Territory Account Manager at Finning, said: \u201cWe recommended the Cat 313 GC excavator for Murphy as it uses smart mode to match engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions, and auxiliary hydraulic options give versatility to use a wide range of Cat attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs Murphy wanted to prioritise reducing the environmental impact of its fleet, we also recommended the Cat 336 excavator. This machine is designed to comply with the latest global emissions regulations and similarly to the Cat 313 GC, is highly fuel efficient thanks to its C13 engine and electric-hydraulic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis significant investment will continue to enhance operations, cut costs and maximise sustainability for Murphy for years to come, and is an indication of what happens when machine quality and long-term support come together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
