1. Background of development • When WA-1 models were put on the market, they were at a overwhelmingly dominant position in its main specifications, environment of the operator seat, operating performance, etc.. • Those advantages have been lowered, however, as the competitor model-changes. In particular, the environment of the operator seat of large class loaders are remarkably lower. • In addition, there has been a push by the world wide market to introduce an updated version of the large size models since the introduction of the Dash 3 up to the WA500.

7. Sales Strategy (Differentiation in sales of WA800-3 and WA900-3)

Alternate machine
Price ratio to CAT: 1:1 Dedicated loading 12.3 m3 bucket (option) attached Contention Price ratio to CAT: 1:1
Current
CAT992D 13 m3 specification
WA-Market Data: Page 16
Product features and product strategy
The sales of the WA800-1 has been directed by emphasizing its merit in hourly production (15% to 20%) over the CAT992D. The CAT has drastically changed the vehicle grade from D to G, but we will continue to emphasize the difference in hourly production with the WA900-3 as opposed to the CAT992G in sales campaign.
Our market strategy has been made up of a combination of 10 m3 class loaders and 80 ton dump trucks. As an alternate machine for the WA800-1 or CAT992D, we will put into the market the WA800-3 which inherits the quality and performance of the WA800.
For the users who do not use the machine for excavation, we will provide the WA800-3 with a 12.3 m3 bucket of the same size as that of the CAT992G for loading work only (option) to confront it with the CAT992G. Model name
