ACERT Technology. The Cat C11ACERT engine introduces a series ofevolutionary, incremental improvementsthat provide breakthrough enginetechnology built on systems andcomponents developed by Caterpillarwith proven reliability. The technologycapitalizes on Caterpillar expertisein four core engine systems: fuel, air,electronics and after treatment.ACERT technology is a unique andrevolutionary systems solution thatenables Cat engines to meet today’sclean air regulations, thus establishingthe building blocks for attainingtomorrow’s more stringent standards.

C11 Block. The one-piece, gray ironblock features generous ribbing forstiffness and heavy bearing bulkheadsfor rigidity and strength as the crankshaftturns. Straight O-ring connection pointsreduce the loss of engine oil and fluids.

Cylinder Head and Piston Technology.The C11 has a cross-flow cylinderhead with refined port geometry,which improves breathing and providesbetter combustion. The Monotherm/steelpistons have a forged steel design,which offers high strength, light weightand tighter tolerances. The result isbetter oil control, minimal blow-byand long liner life.

Advanced Diesel Engine Management(ADEM) A4 Engine Controller.The ADEM A4 electronic controlmodule manages fuel delivery to getthe best performance per liter or gallonof fuel used. The engine managementsystem provides flexible fuel mapping,allowing the engine to respond quicklyto varying application needs. It tracksengine and machine conditions whilekeeping the engine operating at peakefficiency.

Fuel Delivery. Multiple injection fueldelivery involves a high degree ofprecision. Precisely shaping thecombustion cycle lowers combustionchamber temperatures, generatingfewer emissions and optimizing fuelcombustion. This translates into morework output for your fuel cost.

Noise Reduction Technologies.Noise reduction has been achievedthrough design changes to the isolatedtop cover, oil pan, multiple injectionstrategy, insulated timing case cover,sculpted crankcase and gear trainrefinements.

Cat C11 Engine with ACERT TechnologyA combination of proven systems and innovative new technologies, ACERT enginesoptimize performance while meeting EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIa engine exhaustemission regulations.

Mechanically Actuated Electronic UnitInjection (MEUI). A highly evolvedfuel system with a proven record ofreliability in the field. It combines thetechnical advancement of an electroniccontrol system with the simplicity ofdirect mechanically controlled unitfuel injection. It excels in its abilityto control injection pressure over theentire engine operating speed range.These features allow the C11 to havecomplete control over injection timing,duration, and pressure.

Air-to-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC).ATAAC keeps air intake temperaturesdown and, in concert with the tighttolerance combustion chambercomponents, maximizes fuel efficiencyand minimizes emissions. Significantimprovements in airflow are generatedby a turbocharger, unique cross-flowhead and single overhead cam.

Wastegate Turbocharging. Singlewastegate turbocharger provides higherboost over a wide range, outstandinglow-end performance with improved peaktorque and enhanced engine response.

Electronic Transmission. The Caterpillarsix-speed electronically controlledtransmission is designed specifically forthe articulated truck and its applications.It features anti-hunt strategy for speedcontinuity.

Electronic Clutch Pressure Control.ECPC technology works with theControlled Throttle Shifting to manageshift torque and provide exceptionalshift smoothness.

Controlled Throttle Shifting (CTS).Significantly reduces power train stressand clutch wear by controlling enginespeed, torque converter lock-up andtransmission clutch engagements.

Engine Overspeed Inhibitor.Electronic Transmission Control (ETC)protects against engine overspeeding byshifting the transmission up one gear atspecified rpm settings. If the transmissionis in its highest gear, torque converterlockup disengages.

Directional Shift Management.Regulates engine speed during directionalshifts to prevent damage caused byhigh-speed directional changes.

Retarder. Integral retarder withhigh-power density design. Due toits compact size, the unit quickly fillswith oil, providing more retardingpower and fast response times.

Usable Rimpull. Power train componentswork together to offer more usablerimpull at higher speeds on effectivegrades. In first gear, the torque converterovercomes grade resistance by sendingmore torque to the wheels and preventingengine lugging. On downhill grades,the retarder acts like a brake by slowingthe machine.

Hydraulic Fan. The remote-mountedhydraulic fan is temperature sensitiveproviding variable speeds when needed,which minimizes power requirements.The result is more power to the groundand faster cycle time.

The rear suspensiondesign optimizes stability, tractionand flotation.

Traction Control. Traction control iscomprised of a wet clutched inter-axledifferential and wet clutched cross-axledifferentials. All differentials can beengaged and disengaged on-the-gofor maximum versatility. When usedtogether, the differentials provide100 percent driveline locking.

Inter-axle Differential Lock. Locks allthree axles in unison and modifies torquedistribution for excellent traction inpoor underfoot conditions and ongrades. It is operated by a switchlocated in the footrest.

Cross-axle Differential Locks. Providesfull driveline locking – all three axlesand all six wheels for maximumperformance in the most adverseconditions. Acts in unison with theinter-axle differential lock when thefootswitch is actuated and the dash-mounted switch is selected.

Fast Hoist Cycle Times. Fast body raiseand lower times mean less time spentin the dump area.

Load-Carrying Capacity. Large targetarea provides high-load carryingcapacity. Its diverging flow designgives clean load ejection, whichmaximizes production and avoidswaste of material carry-back.

Exhaust Heat System. The body comesexhaust heat ready.

Steering System. Cat articulated trucksuse a load-sensing steering system forsmooth, precise control. It features asingle, variable displacement pump.Two double-acting, cushioned steercylinders allow the machine to articulate45° to the left or right, permittingprecise positioning in tight areas.Its compact Hand Metering Unit controlsthe cylinder for responsive steering andperformance. An electronic secondarysteering system is standard.
