1 CAT POWER for On-Highway Performance and Fuel Economy ACERT Technology for 2007

2 The Fuel Economy You Want. The C9 now sports expanded horsepower ratings, increased torque rating options and a Cat Compression Brake for heavy duty performance in a lightweight package. The mid-range C7 offers the same everyday versatility that has always made it a popular choice for a variety of applications. And a new Cat Common Rail Fuel System optimizes the performance and fuel economy of both the C7 and C9 on-highway engines. It offers greater injection flexibility to facilitate compliance with more stringent 2007 emissions regulations, while increasing fuel economy by up to 4%. C9 Lightweight Engine, Heavy Duty Power Bore/Stroke: 4.53 x 5.87 (115 mm x 149 mm) Displacement: 9.3 L (567 cu in) Weight: 1650 lb (748 kg) Truck and Bus Ratings: rpm Fire Truck Ratings: /2300 rpm RV Ratings: rpm Torque: rpm C7 Mid-Range Versatility Bore/Stroke: 4.33 x 5.00 (110 mm x 127 mm) Displacement: 7.2 L (441 cu in) Weight: 1425 lb (647 kg) Truck and Bus Ratings: /2400 rpm RV and Fire Truck Ratings: rpm Torque: rpm

3 The Performance You Expect. For 2007, Cat on-highway engines prove that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The ACERT Technology shared by the new lineup remains a systems solution, refined to meet more stringent 2007 emissions standards and deliver the performance, reliability, life to overhaul and outstanding fuel economy you ve come to expect from Cat. The new heavy duty C15 leads the industry with King of the Hill pulling power all the way up to 625 hp. And the C13 is available in on-highway vocational and heavy duty line haul configurations for expanded versatility. C15 Heavy Duty Champion Bore/Stroke: 5.4 x 6.75 (137 mm x 171 mm) Displacement: 15.2 L (928 cu in) Weight: 3090 lb (1402 kg) Truck and Bus Ratings: rpm RV and Fire Truck Ratings: rpm Torque: rpm King of the Hill Horsepower 2100 rpm King of the Hill Torque rpm C13 Million-Mile Durability Bore/Stroke: 5.12 x 6.18 (130 mm x 157 mm) Displacement: 12.5 L (763 cu in) Weight: 2610 lb (1184 kg) Vocational Truck and Bus Ratings: rpm Line Haul Truck and Bus Ratings: rpm Fire Truck Ratings: rpm RV Ratings: rpm Torque: rpm

4 More Cool, Clean Air. How do Cat engines with ACERT Technology meet tougher 2007 emissions standards while maintaining top performance and excellent fuel economy? With refinements to the same innovative approach proven successful over millions of miles: using more cool, clean air for more efficient combustion. Still a Systems Solution The systems solution of ACERT Technology, a proven success, hasn t changed for Its four basic systems of Air Management, Precision Combustion, Advanced Electronics and Effective Aftertreatment are still the building blocks for reduced emissions, powerful performance and outstanding fuel economy. Precision Combustion Cat Designed Injection Technology Clean Gas Induction Advanced Electronics Electronic Control Module System Integration ACERT Technology Systems Solution Air Management C13-C15 Variable Valve Actuation Series Turbocharging C7-C9 Variable Nozzle Turbocharger Effective Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter Cat Regeneration System But 2007 emissions regulations require diesels to emit lower levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulates. That s why Cat has added two new enhancements: Clean Gas Induction and a Cat Diesel Particulate Filter featuring its own Cat Regeneration System (CRS). New Clean Gas Induction Clean Gas Induction (CGI) is a proprietary ACERT Technology process that draws off a small amount of non-combustible gas after it has passed through the engine s aftertreatment system. The gas is then cooled, blended with more incoming cool, clean air and returned to the combustion chamber. Since it has passed through the diesel particulate filter, most contaminants have been removed before the gas re-enters the intake system. The CGI process through the DPF PM, NOx, CO 2, HC NOx, H 2 O, CO 2 back to engine Filter Diesel Particulate Filter / Muffler The CGI advantage is clear. It recycles cool, clean air, which is key to good fuel economy, reliability and durability. New Diesel Particulate Filter NOx, H 2 O, CO 2 to exhaust The CGI process filters and cools exhaust before re-routing it to the engine. For 2007, all engines require a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to further reduce emissions of hydrocarbons and other contaminants. But the Cat manufactured DPF is designed for self-regeneration under all conditions. When the electronic control module detects soot buildup, the Cat Regeneration System (CRS) activates. CRS works automatically, using only the precise amount of fuel necessary to oxidize soot. With CRS, no driver action is required for regeneration. Ash that collects in the Cat DPF can be cleared with a special removal tool.

5 More Proven Value. ACERT Technology Remains Your Best Value. Some things never change. Despite system refinements to meet 2007 emissions regulations, ACERT Technology continues to provide the superior value, performance and fuel economy Cat customers expect. Here s a quick reference chart that highlights the many reasons why. Horsepower Ratings Fuel Economy Projected Life to Overhaul Induction Principle CGI Gas Aftertreatment System ACERT Technology for 2007 Same as today s engine ratings Same as today for C13-C15, C7-C9 up to 4% improvement Same as today Introduce more cool, clean air Filtered, cooled non-combustible gas Controlled self-regeneration under all conditions, optimized for less frequent service intervals Spec Em Right and Drive Em Right. Follow my tips to get the most from your Cat engine. Russ Siegel, Caterpillar Test and Demonstration Driver Gear It Right for Results Cat engines with ACERT Technology perform best when mated with close-ratio transmissions. Rear-end gearing is important, too. If you ve been running a 3.70 or 3.55, consider a 3.36 or even With high-torque engines, the goal is to cruise at rpm at 65 mph. Try Progressive Shifting There s no need to bump the governor anymore. When you use progressive shifting shifting up as soon as you have enough rpm to grab the next gear you can get up to speed in good shape and save fuel in the process. It s easier on the drivetrain, too. Downshift a Little Later When you re pulling a long grade, be patient. Don t downshift until the engine is down to about rpm. Lugging the engine like this may seem strange until you get used to it, but it won t hurt a thing. Cat engines with ACERT Technology are built to take it. Use Cruise and Slow Down No matter how good a driver you are, the electronic cruise control can do a better job of keeping speed and rpm steady to save fuel. It s less tiring for you, too. Slowing down also saves: every mile per hour over 55 reduces fuel economy by a tenth of a mile per gallon. Cut Your Idling Time Cat engines with ACERT Technology don t require long warm-up or cool down periods. Just go easy on the throttle at start-up when the engine s cold. At cool down, idle for only about three minutes. Cutting idle time from 50% to 25% can improve fuel economy by up to 4%.
