ACERT Technology. The Cat®C15

ACERT™ engine introduces a series of

evolutionary, incremental improvements

that provide breakthrough engine

technology built on systems and

components developed by Caterpillar

with proven reliability. The technology

capitalizes on Cat expertise in four core

engine systems: fuel, air, electronics

and after treatment. ACERT technology

is a unique and revolutionary systems

solution that enables Cat engines to

meet today’s clean air regulations, thus

establishing the building blocks for

attaining tomorrow’s more stringent

standards.

C15 Block. The one-piece, gray iron

block features generous ribbing for

stiffness and heavy bearing bulkheads

for rigidity and strength as the crankshaft

turns. Straight O-ring connection points

reduce the loss of engine oil and fluids.

Cylinder Head and Piston Technology.

The C15 ACERT engine has a cross-

flow cylinder head with refined port

geometry, which provides improved

breathing and better combustion.

The Monotherm/steel pistons have

a forged steel design, which offers

high strength, light weight and tighter

tolerances. The result is better oil

control, minimal blow-by and long

liner life.

Advanced Diesel Engine Management

(ADEM) A4 Engine Controller.

The ADEM™ A4 electronic control

module manages fuel delivery to get

the best performance per liter or gallon

of fuel used. The engine management

system provides flexible fuel mapping,

allowing the engine to respond quickly

to varying application needs. It tracks

engine and machine conditions while

keeping the engine operating at peak

efficiency.

Fuel Delivery. Multiple injection

fuel delivery involves a high degree

of precision. Precisely shaping the

combustion cycle lowers combustion

chamber temperatures, generating

fewer emissions and optimizing fuel

combustion. This translates into more

work output for your fuel cost.

Noise Reduction Technologies.

Noise reduction has been achieved

through design changes to the isolated

top cover, oil pan, multiple injection

strategy, insulated timing case cover,

sculpted crankcase and gear train

refinements.

Cat C15®Engine with ACERT™ Technology

A combination of proven systems and innovative new technologies, ACERT engines optimize

performance while meeting EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIa engine exhaust emission regulations.

Mechanically Actuated Electronic Unit

Injection (MEUI). A highly evolved fuel

system with a proven record of reliability

in the field. It combines the technical

advancement of an electronic control

system with the simplicity of direct

mechanically controlled unit fuel

injection. It excels in its ability to control

injection pressure over the entire engine

operating speed range. These features

allow the C15 to have complete control

over injection timing, duration and

pressure.

Air-to-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC).

ATAAC keeps air intake temperatures

down and, in concert with the tight

tolerance combustion chamber

components, maximizes fuel efficiency

and minimizes emissions. Significant

improvements in air flow are generated

by a turbocharger, unique cross-flow

head and a single overhead camshaft.

Wastegate Turbocharging.

Single wastegate turbocharger

provides higher boost over a wide range,

outstanding low-end performance with

improved peak torque and engine

response.

Electronic Transmission. The Caterpillar

seven-speed electronically controlled

transmission is designed specifically for

the articulated truck and its applications.

It features anti-hunt shift shift strategy

for speed continuity. It also incorporates

Individual Clutch Modulation (ICM)

to ensure constant shift times even

when the oil is cold.

Two Reverse Gears. The transmission

arrangement provides a second reverse

gear for improved performance when

operating in longer rear hauling

applications. First gear reverse is now

of a lower ratio for increased rimpull

on wet or steep grades.

Controlled Throttle Shifting (CTS).

Significantly reduces power train stress

and clutch wear by controlling engine

speed, torque converter lock-up and

transmission clutch engagements.

Engine Overspeed Inhibitor. Electronic

Engine Overspeed Inhibitor. Electronic

Transmission Control (ETC) protects

against engine overspeeding by shifting

the transmission up one gear at specified

rpm settings. If the transmission is in its

highest gear, torque converter lockup

disengages.

Directional Shift Management.

Regulates engine speed during directional

shifts to prevent damage caused by

high-speed directional changes.

Programmable Top Gear Selection.

Electronic Transmission Control lets

you electronically limit top gear selection

without the use of additional service

tooling or mechanical limiting of

the shift cane.

Caterpillar Engine Compression Brake.

Provides extra braking effort on downhill

grades. It is an excellent match for the

C15 ACERT engine, turning it into a

power absorbing air compressor. It has

very fast response time and produces

no additional heat, so it can be used

continuously.

Usable Rimpull. Power train components

work together to offer more usable

rimpull at higher speeds on effective

grades. In first gear, the torque converter

overcomes grade resistance by sending

more torque to the wheels and preventing

engine lugging. On downhill grades, the

engine compression brake works like

a brake by slowing the machine.

Hydraulic Fan. The remote-mounted

hydraulic fan is temperature sensitive

providing variable speeds when needed,

which minimizes power requirements.

The result is more power to the ground

and faster cycle times.

5

Performance and Productivity – Power Train

Integrated power train with more power, greater performance and lower fuel consumption –

the power to do more work.

Front Suspension. The three-point front

suspension oscillates ±6° to provide a

smooth ride, allowing the operator to

travel at speed over rough terrain and

softening impact loads on structures

and components.

A-Frame Construction. The front

suspension uses an oscillating A-frame

with a lateral tie rod to control axle

sideways movement. The independent

Mounting Points. Suspension mounting

points are integrated into the axle

housing, increasing reliability.

Rear Suspension. Features a walking

beam geometry with Caterpillar designed

rear suspension mounts which provide

a reliable and stable ride for excellent

load retention.

Traction Control. The traction control

system is comprised of a wet clutched

inter-axle differential and wet clutched

cross-axle differentials. All differentials

can be engaged and disengaged on-the-

go for maximum versatility. When used

together, the differentials provide

100 percent driveline locking.

Inter-Axle Differential Lock. Locks all

three axles in unison and modifies torque

distribution for excellent traction in poor

underfoot conditions and on grades.

It is operated by a switch located at

the footrest.

Cross-Axle Differential Locks.

Provides full driveline locking –

all three axles and all six wheels –

for maximum performance in the most

adverse conditions. Acts in unison with

the inter-axle differential lock when the

footswitch is actuated and the dash-

mounted switch is selected.

Fast Hoist Cycle Times. Fast body raise

and lower times mean less time spent

in the dump area.

Service brake detail

Enclosed, Oil-Cooled Brakes.

Multi-plate, oil-immersed brakes are

fitted to both front and center axles.

These brakes provide outstanding

stopping capability, while maintaining

maximum durability and low wear

characteristics.

Exhaust Heat System. The body comes

exhaust heat ready.

Load-Carrying Capacity. The 740 has a

large target area to provide consistently

high load-carrying capacity. Its diverging

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To determine performance, read from

Gross Weight down to % Total Resistance.

Total Resistance equals actual % grade plus

1% for each 10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/ton) of

Rolling Resistance. From this point, read

horizontally to the curve with the highest

attainable speed range. Then, go down to

Maximum Speed. Usable Rimpull depends

on traction available.

(20 lb/ton) of Rolling Resistance. From this

point, read horizontally to the curve with

the highest attainable speed range. Then, go

down to Maximum Speed. Retarding effect

on these curves represents full application of
