Following the relaunch of the German and English-language website of the Caterpillar Energy Solutions brand MWM, the local Russian website has become the first of several independent country sites to go online with an innovative design. Though all country websites intentionally have a similar fundamental structure, the new Russian website features some differences with regard to the content and design.<\/p>\n
For example, the colors of Russia’s national flag have been incorporated in the existing design in an unobtrusive manner. Moreover, the contents in Cyrillic script have been made more user-friendly, and new contents and multimedia elements have been added. For instance, the new website explains how MWM got started in the Russian energy business and how its 140+ years of experience in the development and production of gas engines and gensets for natural gas, mine gas, and other special gas types contribute to the company’s good reputation throughout Russia. <\/p>\n
Since 2013, Caterpillar Energy Solutions has represented both the Cat brand and the renowned MWM brand, which boasts more than 140 years of experience and superior quality in the development and production of gas engines and gensets for natural gas, biogas, and other special gas types. Russia has imported MWM gas engines and gensets for more than 10 years. The new website shows how the traditional Mannheim-based brand got started in the Russian energy business and why the sale of MWM gas engines from Caterpillar Energy Solutions is so successful in Russia.<\/p>\n
The website focuses on target group-specific information on the subjects of gas engines, combined heat and power plants, and gas applications. For this reason, a functional and appealing design, a clear page structure, and the due positioning and presentation of the MWM product portfolio were central elements of the redesign process. The local website’s modern, fresh page layout and clearly structured contents deliver optimum usability and enable intuitive use. The products and services of the Caterpillar Energy Solutions brand MWM represent the hub of the website, and the website structure and the implementation of various social media channels enable users to contact the sales team in Mannheim, Germany, directly.<\/p>\n
The website offers special contents custom-tailored to the Russian market, such as local events and web news as well as special gas applications such as district heat, which plays a key role in Russia. Apart from comprehensive information on the gas applications and combined heat and power plants, application examples from the portfolio are demonstrated on the basis of reference cases. The download center and an overview of contacts are also easy to access. Our relaunched website highlights our core competence: decentralized energy supply.<\/p>\n
The new website in Russian is responsive and can thus be accessed from various devices, such as desktops, tablets, and smartphones. “To approach customers in their native language is a service with which we endeavor to eliminate barriers”, explains Frank Fuhrmann, Manager Communications. For this reason, Russian is listed as an additional choice in the language menu of our global MWM website. More local websites will follow soon.<\/p>\n
