RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS
Performance is based on SAE J1349 standard
conditions of 29.61 in. Hg (100 kPa) and
77° F (25° C).
Fuel consumption is based on fuel oil having an
LHV of 18 390 Btu/lb (42 780 kJ/kg) and
weighing 7.001 lb/U.S. gal (839 g/L).

■ Battery backup
■ Real time clock
■ Quick stop recorder
■ Fleet information software (FIS) capability
■ User-selectable, reprogrammable vehicle
operating parameters – vehicle mph speed

timer, PTO ramp rate, top engine rpm limit,
ambient temperature idle control

GEARING CONSIDERATIONS
Caterpillar ® C-12 Air-to-Air Aftercooled (ATAAC)
Truck Engines offer a wide operating range and
high torque rise which promotes the use of
transmissions with fewer gears. Even with this
built-in feature, heavy/specialty haulers must
remember their trucks should be geared to
achieve the appropriate compromise between
startability and desired road speed. Typical
loads of 80 000 Ib or less are less affected by
improper drive train specing than are heavy
haulers. In general, either application shares one
similar recommendation – gear fast/run slow is
essential for good fuel consumption.
If any of the following conditions are present,
special attention should be given to proper
transmission and axle specifications. A complete
Caterpillar Truck Engine Pro analysis is available
from your local Caterpillar or truck dealer.
1. Poor road surface
2. Adverse grades – 8% plus
3. GVW in excess of 80 000 Ib
For the best balance of performance and fuel
economy on the C-12, spec axle ratios and tire
sizes to obtain:
1475 rpm @ 60 mph

The curves shown are for a standard engine
without fan, but equipped with air compressor
and fuel, lubricating oil and jacket water pumps.

Subject to the following:

Additional ratings may be available for specific
customer requirements. Consult your
Caterpillar representative for details.

Minimum recommended engine speed
at 55 mph cruise speed – 1400 rpm

Maximum recommended engine speed
at cruise – 1700 rpm
