Electronic Transmission. The Caterpillarseven-speed electronically controlledtransmission is designed specifically forthe articulated truck and its applications.It features anti-hunt shift strategy forspeed continuity. It also incorporatesIndividual Clutch Modulation (ICM)to ensure constant shift times evenwhen the oil is cold.

Two Reverse Gears. The transmissionarrangement provides a second reversegear for improved performance whenoperating in longer rear haulingapplications. First gear reverse is nowof a lower ratio for increased rimpullon wet or steep grades.

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

Engine Overspeed Inhibitor. ElectronicTransmission Control (ETC) protectsagainst engine overspeeding by shiftingthe transmission up one gear at specifiedrpm settings. If the transmission is in itshighest gear, torque converter lockupdisengages.

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

Caterpillar Engine Compression Brake.Provides extra braking effort on downhillgrades. It is an excellent match for theCat C15 ACERT engine, turning it intoa power absorbing air compressor. It hasvery fast response time and producesno additional heat, so it can be usedcontinuously.

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, theengine compression brake effectivelyslows the 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 times.
