CAT® CUSTOMER VALUE AGREEMENT (CVA) FOR MINING

WHAT ARE CVAS FOR MINING?

Cat Customer Value Agreements for Mining are customizable plans for your equipment – new or used – to do more work with lower, more predictable costs. From delivered maintenance kits to flexible payment options to tailored component cost-per-hour guarantees, it's a convenient plan to get the most from your equipment throughout its lifecycle.

With any CVA for mining, your dealer explores a range of options across four key value areas:

• Hassle-Free Ownership to get the most from your equipment through one plan with options for cost-per-hour pay structures
• Hassle-Free Maintenance with the right parts delivered on schedule, right to your location, along with optional dealer labor
• Security of Expert Dealer Support with inventory management and component protection through assurance programs
• Peace of Mind from Equipment Health Management with inspections and machine alerts to reduce costs and stay working

Throughout this brochure, review the starting frameworks for these flexible CVA types:

• Maintenance for Mining CVAs with the right parts delivered right on time and flexible maintenance service options
• Hose & Couplings CVAs – for Cat or mixed fleets – to manage inventory and control costs, from delivered kits to onsite containers with pay-per-use options
• Undercarriage CVAs with zero upfront costs, pay-per-use options and scalable coverage from parts up to repairs and rebuilds
• Powertrain Guarantee CVAs with protection and assurance beyond the standard warranty – and a pay-per-use cost structure
