Cat C15 Engine with ACERT Technology
A combination of proven systems and innovative new technologies, ACERT engines
optimize performance while meeting EU Stage IIIA engine exhaust emission regulations.

Cylinder Head and Piston Technology.

The C15 has a cross-flow cylinder
head with refined port geometry,
which improves breathing and provides
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

Performance and Productivity – Power Train
Integrated power train with more power, greater performance and lower fuel consumption –
the power to do more work.

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 Cat 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 airflow are generated
by a turbocharger, unique cross-flow
head and single overhead cam.

Performance and Productivity – Suspension and Traction Control
Suspension systems and traction control – delivering power to the ground in all conditions.

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.

Durability and Reliability
High availability leads to high productivity.

Front Frame. The front frame design

features a large box-section, and wide,
stiff frame beams to handle torque
loads. The divergent frame design
decreases stress in the hitch area and
optimizes suspension geometry.
The frame has been designed to make
maximum use of robotic welding for
increased durability.
Rear Frame. Twin-box construction
minimizes stress concentration and
provides low weight with long
service life.
Castings. The front and rear frames
make extensive use of heavy-duty
steel castings to handle stress
concentrations.
Front Suspension. Three-point front
suspension provides unparalleled ride
quality. It also protects the truck from
the most adverse road conditions by
absorbing shock loads that would
otherwise reach the frame.

Ease of Operation
Designed for simple, easy operation, the 740 allows the operator to focus on production.

Transmission and Hoist Levers.

The hoist lever provides easy,
comfortable operation. The transmission
lever offers excellent comfort, along
with the control for top gear limit,
transmission hold and neutral lock.
Safe Start Mode (Neutral Start).
The transmission lever must be in neutral
and the hoist lever must be in hold before
the engine will start.
Body-Up Protection. Prevents transmission
upshift from first gear if the hoist lever is
not in the float position.
Suspended Pedals. Easy to operate and
reach with plenty of leg and foot room.
Suspended pedals also make it easier to
clean the cab floor by keeping the pedals
out of the dirt.
Cat 2S Machine Monitoring System.
Provides an improved method of

Serviceability
More time on production, less time and money spent on servicing.

Cat Data Link Connector.

Provides a connection point for a laptop
computer running Electronic Technician
(ET) software. The Cat Data Link port
performs programming functions
on all electronic controls.
Service Access. The cab tilts to the
side to provide easy access underneath,
which simplifies servicing of the
transmission, drive shafts and hydraulic
pumps. Machine electrical and
hydraulic interfaces are located
on the right side of the cab, behind
a removable cab body panel for
easy access.
Integrated Transmission Package.
The transmission integrates the
transmission pump, torque converter
and four pump drives into a single
package. Because the transmission is
an integral design, it eliminates many
of the external hoses, resulting in less
servicing and higher reliability.
Engine and Transmission Removal.
The front frame design allows the
engine and transmission to be removed
and installed in one piece.
