Cat C7.1 ACERT Engine

The Cat C7.1 ACERT engine is designed for maximum fuel efficiency and increased power density. Two engine options are available to meet the emission standards for Tier 4/Stage IV or Brazil MAR-1 and China Nonroad Stage III, equivalent to Tier 3/Stage IIIA.

The Tier 4 Final configuration:

• Engine is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system which injects DEF into the exhaust to reduce NOx emissions.
• Cat NOx Reduction System (NRS) captures and cools a small quantity of exhaust gas, then routes in back into the combustion chamber where it drives down combustion temperatures and reduces NOx emissions.
• While in operation, the aftertreatment will be seamless to the operator thanks to the passive regeneration system which is utilized.
