*All comparisons to 988K. Productivity, fuel and CO2 emissions vary by application. CO2 emissions calculations based on a reference work cycle using 2.2 U.S. gallons per hour of #2 U.S. diesel fuel based. Applies IPCC2006 methodology using U.S. EPA Emissions Hub emission factors. Includes DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) related CO2. Fuel measurements are at 15°C. Estimated average fuel consumption improvements are based on tests or Product Link® data where available. Productivity improvements are based on test data. When compared to the 988H (2010) and accounting for productivity improvements, the 988K XE emits up to 45% less CO2 per ton of material moved.**Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel.
