Engine Design

  • Built on G3500 LE proven reliability and durability
  • Ability to burn a wide spectrum of gaseous fuels
  • Robust diesel strength design prolongs life and lowers owning and operating costs
  • Broad operating speed range at lower site air densities (high altitude/hot ambient temperatures)
  • Higher power density improves fleet management
  • Quality engine diagnostics
  • Detonation-sensitive timing control for individual cylinders

Ultra Lean Burn Technology (ULB)

ULB technology uses an advanced control system, a better turbo match, improved air and fuel mixing, and a more sophisticated combustion recipe to provide: - Lowest engine-out emissions - Highest fuel efficiency - Improved altitude and speed turndown - Stable load acceptance and load rejection

Advanced Digital Engine Management

ADEM A3 engine management system integrates speed control, air/fuel ratio control, and ignition/detonation controls into a complete engine management system. ADEM A3 has improved: user interface, display system, shutdown controls, and system diagnostics.

Full Range of Attachments

Large variety of factory-installed engine attachments reduces packaging time.

Quality

Every Cat engine is manufactured to stringent quality standards in order to assure customer satisfaction.
