 Engine with ACERT™ Technology
Innovative technologies optimize performance.
ACERT Technology
The Cat® C15 ACERT™ engine continues the evolutionary,
incremental improvements that provide breakthrough engine
technology built on systems and components developed by
Caterpillar with proven reliability.

Cat Clean Emissions Module (CEM)

CEM is an exhaust aftertreatment package consisting of a
diesel particulate filter, and control systems. The CEM reduces
particulate emissions using passive and active regeneration
during normal engine operation.

Cat NOx Reduction System (NRS)

The Cat NOx Reduction System (NRS) captures and cools
a small quantity of exhaust gas, then routes it into the
combustion chamber where it drives down combustion
temperatures and reduces NOx emissions.
Fuel Delivery
Mechanically actuated Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI-C)
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.

Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration

Regeneration
Regeneration is the removal of soot from the Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF). The Aftertreatment Regeneration
Device (ARD) is used to regenerate the DPF.
The DPF traps both particulates and ash, the ash is removed
at regular service intervals.
Modes of Regeneration
When set to automatic, regeneration will occur without any
interaction from the operator. The three modes of regeneration
shown below allow the articulated truck to adapt to specific
site conditions in the most efficient manner.
Automatic “On-the-go” regeneration is initiated when the
engine control module determines conditions are acceptable.
The articulated truck is not required to stop working.
Automatic: Low Idle regeneration is initiated when the
machine is in a reduced operating mode for a predetermined
period of time, and a number of conditions are met.
The system is designed so that the operator can interrupt
regeneration at any time.
Manual: A manual regeneration is initiated by pressing
the regeneration switch for 5 seconds. The machine must
be brought to a non-operating mode in order to perform
a manual regeneration.

3
Transmission
Proven Reliability.

Electronic Transmission
The Cat seven-speed forward two-speed reverse Electronic Clutch Pressure Controlled (ECPC)
transmission features enhanced shift control logic with anti-hunt shift strategy for speed continuity,
and to ensure constant shift times.

Min-max Governor Control

ECPC control is matched to the min-max governor control for precise smooth shifting.

Two Reverse Gears

The transmission arrangement provides a second reverse gear for improved performance when
operating in longer rear hauling applications.

Smooth Transmission Gear Shifting

The 740B features ECPC Shift Torque Management (STM), with improved Shift Control Logic (SCL)
and Part Throttle Shifting (PTS). These features allow smoother shifting and greater acceleration on
grades while torque is maintained through the shift changes. SCL also provides automatic shift selection
that is more specific to the desired machine operation, and downshifts when needed for maximum
acceleration when increased throttle is applied. PTS allows shifting at lower speeds during part throttle
operation, resulting in improved part throttle fuel economy, quieter machine operation, and better
maneuvering in reduced speed operating conditions.

4
Suspension and
Automatic Traction Control (ATC)
Performance and Productivity.

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. Large bore, low pressure cylinders are purpose
designed for tough applications and offer a soft, smooth ride.

Rear Suspension
Features a walking beam geometry with Caterpillar designed
rear suspension mounts which provide a reliable and stable
ride for excellent load retention.

Automatic Traction Control

Fully Automatic Traction Control (ATC). Inter-Axle-
Differential lock (IAD) and Cross-Axle-Differential
locks (XAD) feature oil immersed clutches that require
no operator input. Operation is seamless and smooth,
and it eliminates wheel slip for maximum traction.
Sensors monitor the machine and wheel speeds, enabling
instant response in low traction conditions.
Fully automatic, independent, IAD and XAD clutches are
engaged on-the-go to optimize machine performance and
control in all conditions. Clutches are automatically
disengaged when ground conditions dictate, maximizing
efficiency when steering or on uneven ground.
ATC eliminates wheel spin in soft under foot extreme ground
conditions where little traction is available. It also reduces
tire and driveline abuse eliminating lost efficiency caused
by improper manual operation of the differential clutches.

Retardation Control
The Cat engine compression brake control lever is positioned
on the right-hand side of the steer column.
Four modes of operation with three steps of retardation,
provide an optimum match between operating conditions
and retarding power.
