Caterpillar Digital Audit

1. Executive Intelligence Summary

1.1 Scope and Objective

This forensic audit was commissioned to map the economic footprint of Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) within the State of Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). The primary objective is to determine the entity’s level of “Economic Complicity” by documenting material support for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the settlement enterprise, and the broader apparatus of occupation. The investigation applies the rigors of supply chain auditing to identify “High Proximity” relationships, distinguishing between incidental trade and structural integration.

The analysis synthesizes data regarding Caterpillar’s exclusive dealership network, the weaponization of its heavy machinery, the utilization of US Foreign Military Financing (FMF), and the company’s integration into Israel’s high-tech autonomous warfare ecosystem.

1.2 Core Findings

The forensic examination establishes that Caterpillar Inc. is not merely a passive vendor of civilian engineering equipment. Rather, it functions as a Structural Pillar of the Israeli military-industrial complex. The evidence indicates:

• Monopolistic Aggregation: Caterpillar operates through a singular, exclusive “Importer of Record,” Zoko Enterprises, ensuring a controlled and sustained flow of machinery essential for military combat engineering and settlement construction.
• Direct Militarization: The Caterpillar D9 bulldozer, specifically the D9R and D9T models, serves as a primary weapon of war. These units are procured via US government contracts (FMS), retrofitted by Israeli defense contractors with Caterpillar’s tacit or explicit knowledge, and deployed for kinetic operations including home demolitions and combat maneuvering in Gaza and the West Bank.
• Operational Presence in Settlements: The exclusive dealer, Zoko Enterprises, maintains a physical service center in the Mishor Adumim Industrial Zone, located within the illegal West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Adumim. This constitutes direct participation in the settlement economy.
• Strategic Technological Integration: Caterpillar is actively integrating its global autonomy strategy with the Israeli high-tech sector, leveraging partnerships with entities like Mobileye (via Luminar) and engaging with research ecosystems at the Technion, an institution deeply embedded in Israeli defense R&D.

1.3 Complicity Banding Assessment

Based on the defined scale, the data supports a classification of State-Linked (Extreme – Mid) to Structural Pillar (Extreme – Upper End). The company’s products are critical infrastructure for the state’s military doctrine; its revenue streams are secured by inter-governmental finance (FMF); and its operational footprint crosses the Green Line into occupied territory.

2. The Aggregator Nexus: Dealership Architecture and Market Control

In supply chain auditing, the “Aggregator Nexus” usually refers to the consolidation of agricultural goods. However, in the context of heavy industrial machinery, this concept translates to the centralization of import, distribution, and maintenance capabilities. For Caterpillar, this nexus is absolute and monopolized by a single entity: Zoko Enterprises.

2.1 Zoko Enterprises: The Exclusive Gateway

Zoko Enterprises Ltd. (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange: ZOKO) is the sole “Importer of Record” for Caterpillar equipment in Israel. This exclusivity is the defining feature of Caterpillar’s economic footprint. Unlike a fragmented market where goods might trickle in via gray-market resellers, the channel for Caterpillar machinery is hermetically sealed and controlled.

Ownership and Corporate Structure:

Zoko Enterprises is a subsidiary of the UK-based conglomerate CP Holdings Limited.1 Despite this foreign ownership, Zoko operates as a thoroughly indigenized Israeli entity. Its subsidiary, Israel Tractors & Equipment (I.T.E.) Ltd., has been the exclusive dealer since 1948, pre-dating the formal establishment of many state institutions.2 This historical depth suggests that the relationship is not merely commercial but foundational to the state’s infrastructure development.

Financial Magnitude and Dependence:

Financial disclosures reveal that Zoko constitutes a systemic player in the Israeli trade sector. In 2025, Zoko reported revenues of NIS 856 million (approximately $230 million USD), reflecting a 3.3% growth year-over-year.3 Data from 2024 shows revenues of NIS 829 million, with a 10.5% growth rate.4 The company employs approximately 500-510 personnel.3

The sheer volume of trade flowing through Zoko confirms “Sustained Trade” at the “Low (Upper End)” band at a minimum, but the nature of the end-users elevates this significantly. Zoko’s business model is existentially dependent on the Caterpillar brand; it cannot decouple from Caterpillar without collapsing its core revenue stream. Conversely, Caterpillar relies entirely on Zoko to navigate the complex logistics of the Israeli market, including military procurement and settlement servicing.

Table 1: Zoko Enterprises – Financial Performance Indicators

2.2 The “Perkins” Engine Multiplier

Caterpillar’s economic footprint is amplified by its ownership of Perkins Engines. Zoko Enterprises serves as the exclusive distributor for Perkins in Israel.¹

This represents a critical “second-order” complicity. While Caterpillar-branded “yellow iron” (bulldozers, excavators) is visible and identifiable, Perkins engines are embedded within a vast array of third-party equipment, including agricultural pumps, industrial generators, and marine propulsion systems used by the Israeli police.⁶

• Strategic Depth: By controlling the propulsion systems for non-Caterpillar equipment, Caterpillar ensures that a significant portion of Israel’s industrial and agricultural base is technically dependent on its supply chain for parts, overhaul solutions, and maintenance.⁷
• Aftermarket Capture: The “Aftermarket” for engine parts is high-margin and recurring. Zoko’s service network allows it to access the “unique serial number” data of every Perkins engine, creating a granular map of Israel’s industrial capacity.⁷

2.3 Operational Integration with the Military

The distinction between Zoko as a civilian dealer and a military logistics provider is non-existent during times of conflict.

• Reserve Duty Mobilization: During the 2023-2024 offensive in Gaza, Zoko Enterprises personnel were formally recruited into the IDF as a reserve unit. Their specific mandate was to serve as reinforcements for the maintenance of Caterpillar D9 bulldozers on the front lines.¹
• Implication: This conscription of corporate staff transforms the civilian dealer into a direct auxiliary of the armed forces. Caterpillar machinery is not just sold to the military; it is maintained in the field by the dealer’s employees, closing the loop between manufacturer and combatant. This establishes “State-Linked” complicity.

3. The Military-Industrial Integration: The D9 Weapon System

The most visible and contentious aspect of Caterpillar’s involvement is the supply of the D9 armored bulldozer. To determine the level of complicity, one must analyze the procurement mechanism, the modification process, and the operational doctrine.

3.1 The Procurement Pipeline: Foreign Military Financing (FMF)

The acquisition of Caterpillar D9 bulldozers is not a standard commercial transaction between a company and a client. It is a state-to-state transfer facilitated by the US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program and funded by Foreign Military Financing (FMF).

The Mechanism of Subsidy:

1. Authorization: The US government authorizes military aid packages to Israel (currently under a $38 billion MOU for 2019-2028).⁸
2. Request: The Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) issues a Letter of Request (LOR) for specific defense articles, including D9 bulldozers.
3. Contracting: The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) acts as the purchasing agent. It signs a contract directly with Caterpillar Inc. (based in Irving, TX or Peoria, IL).¹⁰
4. Payment: Caterpillar is paid directly from US government accounts using FMF funds.
5. Transfer: The equipment is transferred to Israel as “Defense Articles.”

Economic Implication for Caterpillar:

This structure insulates Caterpillar from credit risk associated with the Israeli government. It guarantees revenue streams backed by the US Treasury. More importantly, it classifies the D9 bulldozer legally and logistically as a weapon system comparable to the F-35 fighter jet or MK-84 bomb bodies, which are procured through identical channels.11

Recent Emergency Authorization (2025):

In a significant development, on February 28, 2025, the US Secretary of State approved a $295 million Foreign Military Sale to Israel specifically for Caterpillar D9 bulldozers and related equipment.10

• Emergency Bypass: The administration utilized “emergency authorities” under Section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act to bypass the standard 15-day Congressional review period usually required for sales to NATO+5 countries.⁹
• Contract Volume: The deal includes D9R and D9T models, spare parts, and corrosion protection. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2027.¹⁰
• Significance: The invocation of emergency powers confirms that the D9 bulldozer is considered a “critical capability” for the IDF’s immediate and medium-term military objectives. It also highlights Caterpillar’s willingness to accept multi-million dollar contracts explicitly designated for a military engaged in active hostilities, despite concurrent global divestments.

3.2 The Retrofit Nexus: From Civilian to Combatant

Caterpillar maintains that it sells “civilian” machinery. However, the forensic evidence shows that the transformation into a combat vehicle is a standardized, industrial process integrated into the supply chain.

The “Doobi” Configuration:

Upon arrival in Israel, the base D9 units (manufactured in the US) are transferred to facilities operated by Zoko Enterprises, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), and Israel Military Industries (IMI).1

• Armor: The machines are fitted with heavy armored cabins, bulletproof glass, and “slat armor” (cage armor) designed to detonate RPG warheads before they impact the hull.¹³
• Weaponization: Mounts are installed for machine guns (FN MAG) and grenade launchers. Communications equipment is integrated to allow the bulldozer to operate within the IDF’s digital command-and-control network.¹
• Zoko’s Role: Zoko Enterprises explicitly states that it “retrofits some of Caterpillar’s heavy machinery vehicles for the needs of the military,” including gunner positions.¹ This is not aftermarket modification by a third party; it is value-added service provided by the exclusive dealer.

3.3 The “Panda” and Autonomous Warfare

The evolution of the D9 into a robotic platform represents a deepening of technological complicity. The “Panda” is a remote-controlled, unmanned version of the D9T.

• Development: The autonomy kit is developed by IAI (Elta Systems) and Elbit Systems, but the chassis is unmistakably Caterpillar.¹³
• Operational Utility: These unmanned units are deployed in “high-risk” environments to clear IEDs, demolish tunnels, and raze infrastructure without exposing Israeli soldiers to fire.¹⁴
• Strategic FDI: By supplying the platforms for the Panda program, Caterpillar becomes a partner in the automation of the occupation. This lowers the political and human cost for the IDF to conduct demolition operations, potentially increasing their frequency and scale.

4. Settlement Economy Participation: The Mishor Adumim Nexus

The user query specifically requests an investigation into “Settlement Laundering” and operations within the West Bank. The audit confirms that Caterpillar’s exclusive dealer maintains a direct physical footprint in occupied territory.

4.1 The Mishor Adumim Service Center

Zoko Enterprises operates a service and logistics facility in the Mishor Adumim Industrial Zone.¹

• Location Analysis: Mishor Adumim is the industrial park attached to the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, located east of Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank. It is built on expropriated Palestinian land.
• Operational Function: This facility serves as a regional hub for heavy machinery maintenance. Given its location, it is geographically positioned to service equipment used in the expansion of Ma’ale Adumim (E1 corridor), the construction of the Separation Wall in the Jerusalem envelope, and the demolition of Bedouin structures in the nearby Khan al-Ahmar area.⁶
• Economic Laundering: By operating in this zone, Zoko benefits from Israeli government incentives provided to industries in “National Priority Areas” in the settlements.¹⁶ It pays municipal taxes to the Ma’ale Adumim settlement council, directly financing the settlement’s municipal infrastructure. This fits the definition of “Operational Presence” (Moderate-Mid) but with the aggravating factor of being in illegal territory.

4.2 Infrastructure of Apartheid

Beyond the physical location of the dealer, the machinery itself is the primary tool for constructing the physical architecture of the occupation.

• The Wall: Caterpillar excavators and bulldozers provided the earthmoving capability for the construction of the Separation Wall/Barrier.⁵
• Bypass Roads: The extensive network of “apartheid roads” (segregated roads for settlers) requires massive earthworks, performed almost exclusively by Caterpillar heavy iron due to Zoko’s market dominance.¹
• Demolitions: The D9 is the icon of house demolitions. Verified incidents include the demolition of homes in She’b al-Battem (South Hebron), Al Fakheet, and the destruction of water infrastructure in the Jordan Valley.¹⁷

5. Strategic Technology Flows and R&D Ecosystem

While Caterpillar does not have a branded “Caterpillar Israel” R&D center in the traditional sense, forensic analysis reveals a sophisticated web of “Indirect Portfolio Flows” and “Strategic FDI” that leverages Israeli military-grade technology.

5.1 The Autonomy Stack: Luminar, Mobileye, and Robotics

Caterpillar is aggressively pivoting toward autonomous mining and construction equipment. This strategy relies on technologies (LiDAR, Computer Vision) where Israel is a global hegemon.

• The Luminar-Mobileye Connection: Caterpillar has a strategic partnership with Luminar Technologies to integrate LiDAR sensors into its autonomous trucks.¹⁸ Luminar, in turn, has deep technological partnerships with Mobileye, the Israeli autonomous driving giant (owned by Intel).¹⁹ While indirect, Caterpillar’s autonomy stack is built on an ecosystem where Israeli technology is a critical component.
• Roboteam: Industry databases list Caterpillar alongside Roboteam, an Israeli military robotics firm.²⁰ Roboteam manufactures the “Probot” and “TIGR” UGVs used by the IDF. The collaboration between Elbit Systems and Roboteam on the “Rook” UGV ²¹ parallels the “Panda” D9 project. This suggests a shared supplier base for military autonomy components.

5.2 Academic-Military Partnerships

Caterpillar engages with the Israeli academic sector, which is often indistinguishable from the military R&D sector.

• Technion – Israel Institute of Technology: Caterpillar is a major client of PTC, a software firm. PTC established a dedicated R&D center inside the Technion campus in Haifa.²² The Technion is notorious for its “remote control D9” research and aerospace partnerships.²³ Through PTC, Caterpillar taps into the talent and IP generated by this military-academic complex.
• BGN Technologies: While direct funding is less visible, the “Illinois-Israel Cooperation” framework facilitates R&D grants (BIRD Foundation) that link companies like Caterpillar (HQ in Illinois/Texas) with Israeli research centers like BGN Technologies (Ben-Gurion University) for water and energy projects.²⁵

6. Supply Chain Analysis: Upstream Sourcing

To assess “Economic Complicity” fully, we must look upstream. Does Caterpillar purchase components from Israel?

6.1 Plasan Sasa: The Armor Supplier

Plasan Sasa, located in Kibbutz Sasa, is a world leader in composite armor for vehicles.

• The Logic of Supply: The D9 bulldozers supplied to the IDF are fitted with specialized armored cabins. Zoko Enterprises performs the retrofit, but Zoko is an integrator, not an armor manufacturer. Plasan is the primary supplier of vehicle armor to the Israeli military and major US defense contractors (e.g., Oshkosh).²⁶
• Inference: It is highly probable, bordering on certain, that the armor kits installed on Caterpillar D9s are sourced from Plasan Sasa. This creates a bi-directional flow: Caterpillar sells chassis to Israel; Israel (via Zoko/Plasan) sells value-added armor components back into the final weapon system.

6.2 Conflict Minerals and 3TG

Caterpillar’s conflict minerals reports acknowledge the difficulty in tracing the origin of 3TG (Tin, Tungsten, Tantalum, Gold) in its electronics.²⁸ Given the high-tech nature of the new autonomous D9s, the supply chain for sensors and processors likely intersects with Israel’s semiconductor and electronics manufacturing sector, though definitive “chain of custody” proof remains opaque due to the complexity of global electronics sourcing.

7. Financial Analysis and Seasonality

7.1 Seasonality of FMF Procurement

The user requested an analysis of “Seasonality.” In the context of fresh produce, this refers to harvest windows (Dec-April). For Caterpillar, seasonality is fiscal.

• Fiscal Cycle: The US government’s fiscal year begins in October. FMF grants to Israel are typically disbursed in a lump sum shortly thereafter.⁹
• Procurement Waves: Large-scale procurement contracts (like the $295 million D9 deal in Feb 2025) often follow the appropriation of these funds. This creates a “seasonality” of military contracting, where orders spike in the Q1/Q2 window of the US fiscal year following the release of aid.

7.2 Investment Flows and Ownership

• Zoko’s Capital Structure: Zoko is majority-owned by CP Holdings (UK). However, it is a publicly traded company on the TASE (Ticker: ZOKO). This allows Israeli pension funds and institutional investors to hold stakes in the local dealer, intertwining Israeli domestic capital with Caterpillar’s global operations.¹
• Direct Investment: Caterpillar Ventures has not made a headline “megadeal” in Israel comparable to Intel’s Fab 28. Its investment flow is characterized by “Sustained Trade” (revenue extraction) rather than “Strategic FDI” (infrastructure building). The exception is the intellectual capital investment via partnerships with Israeli-linked firms like Luminar/Mobileye.

8. Reputational Risk and Divestment (The “Radioactive” Asset)

The “Economic Complicity” of Caterpillar has reached a critical threshold where it is triggering systemic divestment by global capital. This confirms the “materiality” of the risk.

8.1 Sovereign Wealth Actions

• Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM): In June 2024, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund ($1.7 Trillion AUM) divested its entire $2.4 billion stake in Caterpillar.³⁰ The Council on Ethics cited the risk of contributing to “severe violations of the rights of individuals in situations of war or conflict.”
• KLP (Norway): The massive pension fund KLP excluded Caterpillar in June 2024, specifically citing the D9’s role in demolitions in the West Bank.¹⁷
• ABP (Netherlands): Europe’s largest pension fund divested, citing the use of equipment in the Gaza war.³³

8.2 Legal Jeopardy

• UN Warnings: The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has explicitly advised Caterpillar that its supply chain practices may result in complicity in war crimes.¹³
• Corrie v. Caterpillar: While the civil suit regarding the death of Rachel Corrie was dismissed in the US on jurisdictional grounds (political question), the factual record established the lethal use of the machinery.³⁴

9. Comprehensive Data Banding

Based on the forensic evidence collected, Caterpillar Inc. maps to the following bands of the “Economic Complicity” scale.

10. Conclusion

The forensic audit concludes that Caterpillar Inc. exhibits High to Extreme levels of economic complicity. The company does not operate as a neutral third-party vendor. Through the mechanism of the US Foreign Military Sales program and the operational monopoly of Zoko Enterprises, Caterpillar provides the essential hardware for the Israel Defense Forces’ engineering operations.

The company’s machinery is systematically weaponized, serviced in illegal settlements, and maintained by dealer personnel deployed to the front lines. The recent emergency authorization of $295 million in D9 sales (February 2025) demonstrates a continued commitment to this supply chain despite escalating humanitarian concerns and significant divestment by global financial institutions. Caterpillar’s footprint is characterized not just by trade, but by the structural integration of its products into the machinery of occupation and war.
