Since the event is held only once every three years, it is the primary stage for major equipment launches and industry networking. The upcoming CONEXPO-CON\/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas is going to be held from March 3 to March 7, 2026, and promises to revolutionize grading technology and the machines that drive it. Contractors and fleet managers who follow the heavy equipment industry will experience a mix of proven model previews. A wave of systems-level enhancements that will transform how they plan, execute, and measure grading work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This report pulls together everything publicly announced so far from Caterpillar, John Deere (and the Wirtgen Group), Komatsu, Volvo Construction Equipment, and Case, covering new\/preview motor grader models, major updates, and the software, telematics, and automation features that will matter on job sites. These developments reflect the industry&#8217;s shift toward smarter, more efficient construction solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/conexpo-2026-what-big-brands-are-bringing-to-the-motor-grader-industry\/#Manufacturer_Updates_Models_Previews_Booth_Focus\" >Manufacturer Updates: Models, Previews, &amp;

Public materials indicate that the new 150 will be available with the choice of joystick or steering wheel and lever (LVR) controls, while the 160 will feature joystick control, reflecting ergonomic options that seek to make the operator more productive. Additionally, the <\/span><b>Cat 140 LVR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will make its official launch, adopting the next-gen cab design with 360-degree visibility options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, in addition to the machines, Cat will feature combined solutions that connect graders to fleet and site operations: Cat Grade grade-control systems, VisionLink telematics\/management updates, and Cat Command remote\/semi-autonomous solutions, plus collision mitigation and Cat Detect demos. These integrations transform the grader from a simple piece of iron into a comprehensive technology platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"John_Deere_Wirtgen_Group_Numerous_world_premieres_SmartGrade_focus\"><\/span><b>John Deere &amp; Wirtgen Group: Numerous world premieres, SmartGrade focus<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John Deere and the Wirtgen Group are showing a heavy schedule of releases: joint booth content outlines 24 market releases with <\/span><b>18 world premieres from John Deere<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and 6 from Wirtgen. Although Deere has focused its pre-show announcements on all-new Deere-designed excavators, the magnitude of the launch and the focus on grade automation make grader improvements highly probable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The digital product names of Deere, SmartGrade, and SmartDetect are being highlighted throughout the CONEXPO lineup, signifying the inclusion of grade control and detection\/analytics into earthmoving and grading processes.
