ENGINEERED
FOR THE
TOUGHEST JOBS.
CAT VOCATIONAL TRUCK ENGINES are engineered to deliver
peak power and performance to handle your biggest, toughest jobs.
Theyre built for unprecedented reliability, durability and years
of service life to help lower your operating costs.
HIGH-PRESSURE, COMMON-RAIL FUEL SYSTEM

delivers ideal injection pressures for precise injection
timing, optimized combustion and reduced exhaust
emissions. With operating pressure up to 32,000 psi,
it is fuel efficientand delivers quieter operation
for increased driver comfort.
ADVANCED AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM achieves

peak torque at 1000 rpm and holds steady to 1200 rpm
to reduce gear-shifting and allow for fewer downshifts
up steep grades
DUAL SEQUENTIAL TURBOCHARGERS and high-pressure

injection system deliver optimum torque for operating
conditions, from faster acceleration to handling steep
grades
MAIN BEARINGS have a large surface area for added

strength and durability
WET SLEEVE design provides optimal cylinder

cooling efficiency
WIRING HARNESS is foam-molded to secure connections

for enhanced reliability
KEY SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS of the engine,

from the valve cover to the oil and fuel filters, are easy
to access. So maintenance is more convenient,
which helps minimize downtime.
SINGLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM)

and fewer electrical connections result in less diagnostic
and maintenance time
OPTIONAL COMPRESSION BRAKE is available

to fit your specific application

EMISSIONS TECHNOLOGY
HARD AT WORK.
The CT13 engine features a highly efficient Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
solution with upgraded in-cylinder technology and a proven aftertreatment
system to deliver low cost of operation.
CAT VOCATIONAL TRUCK ENGINES are engineered to deliver

peak power and performance to handle your biggest, toughest jobs.
Theyre built for unprecedented reliability, durability and years
of service life to help lower your operating costs.
COMMON RAIL FUEL INJECTION TECHNOLOGY

System technology automatically injects fuel into the cylinder several times
per cycle under high pressure. This extends the injection cycle, making combustion
more complete, which reduces NOx emissions and improves fuel efficiency.
HIGH-PRESSURE, COMMON-RAIL FUEL SYSTEM

delivers ideal injection pressures for precise injection
timing, optimized combustion and reduced exhaust
emissions. With operating pressure up to 32,000 psi,
it is fuel efficientand delivers quieter operation
for increased driver comfort.

which helps minimize downtime.
SINGLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM)

and fewer electrical connections result in less diagnostic
and maintenance time
OPTIONAL COMPRESSION BRAKE is available

to fit your specific application
PISTON COMBUSTION BOWL DESIGN

The unique design maximizes fuel swirl inside the cylinder for a more complete burn.
AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The piston combustion bowl design and high injection pressure work in tandem
to atomize fuel, so it enters the cylinder more evenly. This results in a cleaner,
more complete burn that delivers added power to your trucks wheels,
while reducing exhaust soot.
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
The computing power of the engine controller constantly determines
the optimum fuel-air mix the engine requires as operating conditions change,
resulting in maximized engine power and efficiency.
