ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

• There are substantial fuel saving strategies on the 777G
• Two fuel economy modes can be adjusted to meet your daily production needs
• For the U.S. and Canada, Tier 4 emission controls are available

• Operator noise is reduced by 50%
• Spectator noise levels can be lowered up to 50% with the optional "XQ" package

• Remanufactured parts are an economical and eco-friendly alternative to new
• Extend tire life by using the TKPH/TMPH feature that calculates tire loading
• A mud protection package is available to help keep power train components clean
• Castings and box section frame construction ensure long-life
• A new rear axle housing adds strength and enables axle filtration and lubrication
• Hydraulic oil filter life is extended to 1,000 hours under normal conditions
• Autostall enables quick operating temperatures for best performance and life
• Delayed Engine Shutdown prevents hot shut downs that can reduce component life

• Two engine-mounted diesel oxidation catalyst canisters control particulate matter
• Our NRS Technology replaces a portion of intake air with exhaust gas to control combustion temperatures and NOx production
• Precise, extremely fine atomization of fuel under all load conditions

CUTTING YOUR FUEL COSTS

• Auto Neutral Idle – as the 777G idles in a forward gear, the transmission will automatically slip in and out of a neutral state to avoid stalling the torque converter and raising engine rpm.
• Engine Idle Shutdown – when your G Series truck is in park and idles for more than a preset time, the truck will initiate engine shutdown to conserve fuel. This feature can be time adjusted or turned on or off according to your specific needs.
• Speed Limiting – while you can continue to gear limit your G Series trucks, Caterpillar offers speed limiting that allows the truck to travel at a more fuel efficient engine speed and gear selection.
• Transmission Controls – New APECS transmission controls increase fuel efficiency by maintaining momentum and speed on grade.

• Standard Economy Mode – G Series can save fuel by adjusting engine power through this newly adjustable economy mode. Adjust the power based on your site, fleet, and economic conditions. The power can be reduced from 0.5 to 15 percent.
• Adaptive Economy Mode – New for G Series – this economy mode requires a baseline for production from you using the Advisor display. As the truck transits the haul cycle, it is constantly evaluating its ability to meet your baseline in a reduced power rating. Where full power is needed, full power is applied. Where reduced power works, reduced power is applied. It’s fully automatic with no special operation required.

PERFORMANCE

• A 7% increase in torque puts more power to the ground
• New transmission controls carry more torque through the shifts, producing faster cycle times – most noticeably on grades
• An increase in travel speed in 7th gear also helps generate faster cycle times

• The system is steering sensitive to determine slip vs. high speed turns
• The system engages at slower speeds returning traction sooner
• The system engages sooner in the slip, potentially reducing tire wear
• The system modulates instantly between the two-wheel groups for control
• Using the hydraulic service brakes facilitates the instant modulation and responsiveness
