At ConExpo 2023, Caterpillar unveiled a new diesel engine platform intended to Power density, torque and fuel efficiency for a variety of off-highway vehicles. Early OEM pilots will have access to the C13D engine in 2025 and production is expected to begin in 2026. It is intended for machinery such as trenchers, agricultural tractors, harvesters and self-propelled sprayers, as well as wood chips, material-handling tools and huge industrial pumps.
Dustin Childers, Global Marketing Manager, Caterpillar Industrial Power Systems Division: "It's not to bring new technology to the forefront. It's about applying that technology that Caterpillar has been investing in new applications for decades." The Cat C13D platform gives OEMs the opportunity to shrink the engine and simplify design, assembly, and supply chain needs for a variety of applications by providing equivalent power and torque to Caterpillar's current 13-, 15- and single-turbo 18-liter engine platforms. It can also reduce technical training, maintenance and complexity of end-user components.
According to Childers, the 6-cylinder Cat C13D engine platform has eight outputs ranging from 456 to 690 hp and produces a maximum torque of 3,200 Newton meters. "It has a higher Power-to-size ratio than really everything else in the market today," he said. "It's the same or better performance than the larger engine platforms we have," Childers said.
The C13D engine platform is designed to deliver performance, according to Caterpillar, toughness, packaging and ease of maintenance required by both producers and off-- users highway equipment.
