Support of Military Engine Customers

Caterpillar has manufactured well over 2-million diesel engines since 1931. While first used in Cat^® track-type tractors, Cat engines now provide prime power to remote installations worldwide, propulsion for military vessels as well as engine power for tactical and support vehicles. Cat engines, which can be adapted to Department of Defense specifications, have been built to meet or exceed today's toughest standards.
