Cat says new 12.5L C13B engine delivers 15L power



577 hp/1943 lb ft, 46 hp per litre, no EGR, 63% lighter and 65% smaller than current equivalent.

 

Loose lips sink ships!

 

Found this one floating around on Marketplace! Truck Porn! Says it’s a 13 SPD in the description.

 

Trying to break the internet ?
Thanks for catching that and putting it here. I'm sure it's in the article but does that mean that Cat is coming back to the Truck industry ?

 

Doesn't look like it will be available for Trucks. Bummer.

 

I sure as hell hope so. They could hit the ground running in the on-highway market if this thing is as good as it appears to be.

"The engine is configurable with a wide range of factory installed options, Cat says, giving OEMs a choice of transmission interfaces, rotating electrics and other machine interfaces. It will be available with engine-mounted aftertreatment and installed radiators from the factory."

 

The article expressly states " construction, agriculture and industrial applications ". Looks like they want to keep the EPA away from their door ?

 

Trucking is an Industry. Anybody else confused ?

 

They could very easily have a plan, but haven't announced anything yet. If they have a no-EGR emissions system, it would be dumb not to put this into the on-highway market for all manufacturers.

 

They never quit building engines they just left the on highway market, the on highway market was tier 4 before off highway. They’re all tier 4 final now but their market share of on highway was diminishing anyway. They’ve said they have no interest in reentering the market.
