Performance – Intelligent application of power and technology

Power
The Cat C27 diesel engine is delivering 12% additional power to the drive train. As a result, new and more robust drive train components, including a larger drive shaft and differential gears, have been designed to handle the power.
Technology
G Series introduces a new planetary powershift transmission control strategy called APECS. APECS takes the benefits of Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) and adds part throttle shifting and torque shift management. The result is exceptionally smooth automotive-type shifting and ride quality. APECS also retains torque and momentum through the shifts; increasing performance on grades. The result is quick starts from a standstill and exceptionally smooth shift and ride quality.
Intelligence
A new Traction Control System (TCS) is now steering sensitive to differentiate between tire spin or high speed turns. The system now uses the hydraulically applied service brakes (vs. spring applied secondary brakes), allowing it to engage sooner and at lower speeds. G Series TCS modulates power and braking instantaneously between the two wheel groups, allowing a more appropriate response to ground conditions and returning the truck to solid footing much sooner.

Fuel Saving Strategies – Solutions that support your lowest cost per ton
Fuel Saving Strategies
- Standard Economy Mode – G Series can adjust engine power based on your individual needs. With this feature, fuel savings are achieved by reducing power between 0.15 to 15 percent.
- Adaptive Economy Mode – New for G Series – requires a baseline for production from you. As the truck goes through the haul cycle, it constantly evaluates your baseline against opportunities to reduce power and save fuel. It’s fully automatic with no special operation required.
- Speed Limiting – while you can continue to gear limit your G Series trucks, Caterpillar offers another alternative you can utilize – the new speed limiting feature. Speed limiting allows the truck to travel in its most fuel efficient gear.
- Auto Neutral Idle – as the 773G waits for the loader or crusher while idling in a forward gear, the transmission will automatically slip into a neutral state to avoid stalling the torque converter and raising engine rpm. As soon as the operator releases the brake or applies throttle, the truck is instantly back in the forward gear.
- Engine Idle Shutdown – when your G Series truck is in park and idles for more than a preset time, which is set by the customer, 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.
