Power Train
The Cat® C6.4 has exceptional power and fuel efficiency unmatched in the industry
for consistently high performance in both forestry and millyard applications.

Fuel Delivery. The Cat C6.4 ACERT

features electronic controls that govern
the fuel injection system. 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
work output for your fuel cost.
Cooling System. The cooling fan
is directly driven from the engine.
An optional programmable reversible fan
allows for radiator blowout, to increase
service intervals and to maintain engine
operational temperatures. The optimum
fan speed is calculated based on the
target engine speed, coolant temperature,
hydraulic oil temperature and actual fan
speed. The Cat C6.4 ACERT delivered

Owning and Operating Costs
Caterpillar Forest Machines provide the best value for your forestry and millyard applications.

ACERT™ Technology Fuel Economy. Based on Caterpillar

testing, the fuel economy of Cat engines with ACERT
technology is 3 to 5 percent better than current competing
technologies. This fuel economy is directly related to the
complete combustion of fuel due to the integration between
the electronic control that monitors conditions, the air
management system that controls air volume and the fuel
injection system that delivers just the right amount of fuel
as needed.
Radiator Compartment. The radial air filter has a double
layered filter core for more efficient filtration and is located
in a compartment behind the cab. Easy access doors allows
for easy, faster cleanout minimizing down time. Heavy-duty
screen filters assembled on the door keep debris away from
the radiator compartment, extending service intervals.
