Introducing the new Cat® C13D industrial engine.

Introducing the Cat® C13D industrial engine

It’s here. It’s now. It’s the all-new Cat® C13D engine. Versatile enough to power nearly every application and industry, this anticipated addition is a well-rounded powerhouse. Longer service intervals make doing more easier—along with impressive, unmatched power density. This conveniently compact engine was designed for easy installation. Sound too good to be true? Think again.



The power dense Cat® C13D helps Puck Enterprises do more.

Time is critical for Puck Enterprises when delivering millions of gallons of liquid manure to fertilize crops for farms. Puck switched to the Cat® C13D engine to power its equipment. The C13D provides a 15% power increase over previous models for more power and increased torque capability. Puck Enterprises Owner, Jeremy Puck, explains that with the C13D engine, his team can spray 4,000 gallons per minute at 80% load, compared to 100% load with other engines. This leads to greater production. The C13D is quieter. It’s also more compact, meaning Puck can get more horsepower while maintaining the same vehicle size.

The Hydrogen-Hybrid Power Solution for Off-Highway Vehicles

Starting in early 2024, the advanced hydrogen-hybrid project will leverage the versatile new Cat C13D engine platform.

Starting in the first quarter of 2024, we’re developing a transient-capable system for off-highway applications. The project will demonstrate how state-of-the-art control systems and electric-hybrid components can help hydrogen-fueled engines meet or exceed the power density and transient performance of traditional diesel engines.

Raising expectations with the new Cat C13D engine

 

See for yourself. Witness what unmatched power density, lasting durability and fuel savings can do for your operation.
