Features

Diesel Engine

The Cat C18, with ACERT Technology, is an 18.1 L, six‑cylinder, 390 kW (530 hp) engine with mechanically actuated electronic fuel injection (MEUI) and overhead camshaft. ACERT Technology provides outstanding engine performance through advanced electronic control, precision fuel delivery, and refined air management.

Fuel Consumption

The Advanced Diesel Engine Management (A4) controller uses sensors throughout the engine to manage engine load and performance. The A4 controller is the muscle behind engine responsiveness, self-diagnostics, controlling emissions, and fuel economy.

Fuel System

The MEUI system combines high-pressure injection and electronic control in a single compact unit. The electronic unit injector is an integral part of the C18 fuel system. Computerized electronic control provides precise metering and timing of fuel injection.

Cooling System

High-capacity, side‑by‑side cooling system allows operation in ambient temperatures up to 52° C. The Electric Power Control (EPC) controls the fan speed based on coolant temperature and hydraulic oil temperature for optimized cooling.

Turbocharger

The C18 engine uses a water-cooled, center-section waste gated turbocharger for improved performance. This turbocharger controls the air volume to the cylinders and works efficiently during low and high load conditions.
