Caterpillar has actually revealed the advancement of the Cat C13D, a brand-new 13 L diesel motor platform, developed to attain best-in-class power density, torque and fuel performance for enhancing the efficiency of strong off-highway applications. The brand-new engine was revealed at ConExposition-Con/Agg 2023.
“Off-highway OEMs and equipment owners face a rapidly evolving business environment that demands improved worksite productivity and reduced operating costs while addressing increasingly stringent emissions standards,” said Steve Ferguson, senior vice president Caterpillar Industrial Power Systems. “Internal combustion engines are the prevailing workhorses on most jobsites around the world, which is why we’ve invested in the next-generation Cat C13D diesel engine platform to address their challenges.”
The inline, six-cylinder Cat C13D engine platform will provide 8 power rankings from 456 to 690 hp (340 to 515 kW) with as much as 2360 pound. ft. (3200 Nm) of peak torque. Engine-installed aftertreatment and cooling packs will likewise be available from the factory to minimize setup and recognition expenses.
Caterpillar said the C13D will fulfill the emissions requirements of greater regulated markets, such as EU Stage 5, U.S. EPA Tier 4 last, China Non-roadway 4, Korea Stage 5, and Japan 2014, with designs available for lower regulated markets.
By providing equivalent power and torque available from Caterpillar’s existing 13-, 15- and single-turbo 18 L engine platforms, Cat said the C13D platform supplies a chance for initial equipment makers (OEMs) to scale down the engine and streamline style, assembly, and supply chain requirements throughout several applications. This debt consolidation can likewise minimize upkeep, parts, and technical training intricacy for end users, Caterpillar said.
The Cat C13D engine platform allows using sustainable liquid fuels such as 100% HVO, B100 distilled biodiesel, and even up to B100 basic biodiesel by dealing with Cat dealerships. In addition, Cat said the engine’s core architecture is developed for the future advancement of gas and hydrogen fuel abilities.
Available for early OEM pilots in 2025 and scheduled for production in 2026, the Cat C13D engine is targeted for a large range of off-highway equipment, consisting of rock crushers, screeners, mills and trenchers; farming tractors, harvesters and self-propelled sprayers; woodchippers; material-handling equipment; and big commercial pumps.
