Cat C15 Engine with ACERT™ Technology  
A combination of proven systems and innovative new technologies, ACERT engines optimize  
performance while meeting EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIa engine exhaust emission regulations.  
Cylinder Head and Piston Technology.  
The C15 ACERT engine has a cross-  
flow cylinder head with refined port  
geometry, which provides improved  
breathing and 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 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  
ACERT Technology. The Cat® C15  
ACERT™ engine introduces a series of  
evolutionary, incremental improvements  
that provide breakthrough engine  
technology built on systems and  
components developed by Caterpillar  
with proven reliability. The technology  
capitalizes on Cat expertise in four core  
engine systems: fuel, air, electronics  
and after treatment. ACERT technology  
is a unique and revolutionary systems  
solution that enables Cat engines to  
meet today’s clean air regulations, thus  
establishing the building blocks for  
attaining tomorrow’s more stringent  
standards.  
C15 Block. The one-piece, gray iron  
block features generous ribbing for  
stiffness and heavy bearing bulkheads  
for rigidity and strength as the crankshaft  
turns. Straight O-ring connection points  
reduce the loss of engine oil and fluids.  
work output for your fuel cost.  
Noise Reduction Technologies.  
Noise reduction has been achieved  
through design changes to the isolated  
top cover, oil pan, multiple injection  
strategy, insulated timing case cover,  
sculpted crankcase and gear train  
refinements.

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 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 air flow are generated  
by a turbocharger, unique cross-flow  
head and a single overhead camshaft.  
Controlled Throttle Shifting (CTS).  
Significantly reduces power train stress  
and clutch wear by controlling engine  
speed, torque converter lock-up and  
transmission clutch engagements.  
Caterpillar Engine Compression Brake.  
Provides extra braking effort on downhill  
grades. It is an excellent match for the  
C15 ACERT engine, turning it into a  
power absorbing air compressor. It has  
very fast response time and produces  
no additional heat, so it can be used  
continuously.  
Wastegate Turbocharging.  
Single wastegate turbocharger  
provides higher boost over a wide range,  
outstanding low-end performance with  
improved peak torque and engine  
response.  
Engine Overspeed Inhibitor. Electronic  
Engine Overspeed Inhibitor. Electronic  
Transmission Control (ETC) protects  
against engine overspeeding by shifting  
the transmission up one gear at specified  
rpm settings. If the transmission is in its  
highest gear, torque converter lockup  
disengages.  
Usable Rimpull. Power train components  
work together to offer more usable  
rimpull at higher speeds on effective  
grades. In first gear, the torque converter  
overcomes grade resistance by sending  
more torque to the wheels and preventing  
engine lugging. On downhill grades, the  
engine compression brake works like  
a brake by slowing the machine.  
Electronic Transmission. The Caterpillar  
seven-speed electronically controlled  
transmission is designed specifically for  
the articulated truck and its applications.  
It features anti-hunt shift shift strategy  
for speed continuity. It also incorporates  
Individual Clutch Modulation (ICM)  
to ensure constant shift times even  
when the oil is cold.  
Directional Shift Management.  
Regulates engine speed during directional  
shifts to prevent damage caused by  
high-speed directional changes.  
Hydraulic Fan. The remote-mounted  
hydraulic fan is temperature sensitive  
providing variable speeds when needed,  
which minimizes power requirements.  
The result is more power to the ground  
and faster cycle times.  
Two Reverse Gears. The transmission  
arrangement provides a second reverse  
gear for improved performance when  
operating in longer rear hauling  
applications. First gear reverse is now  
of a lower ratio for increased rimpull  
on wet or steep grades.  
Programmable Top Gear Selection.  
Electronic Transmission Control lets  
you electronically limit top gear selection  
without the use of additional service  
tooling or mechanical limiting of  
the shift cane.

An optimum system match gives you a major productivity advantage. The 740 is an excellent match for the Cat 385C, 365C and  
345C Hydraulic Excavators; and 972H, 980H and 988H Wheel Loaders. This results in increased production and lower system costs  
per unit of volume moved.

To determine performance, read from  
Gross Weight down to % Total Resistance.  
Total Resistance equals actual % grade plus  
1% for each 10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/ton) of  
Rolling Resistance. From this point, read  
horizontally to the curve with the highest  
attainable speed range. Then, go down to  
Maximum Speed. Usable Rimpull depends  
on traction available.

Effective Grade equals actual % favorable  
grade plus 1% for each 10 kg/metric ton  
(20 lb/ton) of Rolling Resistance. From this  
point, read horizontally to the curve with  
the highest attainable speed range. Then, go  
down to Maximum Speed. Retarding effect
