Note (1)
Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air cleaner, CEM exhaust gas aftertreatment, alternator, and cooling fan with engine speed at 2,200 rpm. Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture.
Note (2)
¹Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels.Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations“ (SEBU6250) for details. * Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer).** Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels.

  • Cab Monitor Improvements
        
  1. Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
  2.     
  3. Identify apps quickly with a grid list view, abbreviated app names, and categorized menu options.
  4.     
  5. A new notification center keeps important information visible to the operator, and displays messages without shrinking the camera view. 
  6.     
  7. Color coded notifications set critical messages apart from the rest.
  8.     
  9. Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.
        
  • Enhance visibility to make service work easier and safer with optional inspection lighting.
  •     
  • Standard integrated vehicle health management system alerts the operator with service guidance and parts needed to enhance uptime.   
Not all features are available in all regions. Please check with your local Cat dealer for specific offering availability in your area.
