Articulated Truck

Performance and Productivity – PowertrainIntegrated Powertrain – More Power, Greater Performance and Lower Fuel Consumption.3176C Electronic Engine. The 3176Celectronic engine offers highhorsepower and complete systemintegration of the engine andtransmission for maximum efficiency.High Torque Rise. Provides unequaledlugging force during acceleration, onsteep grades and in tough underfootconditions.Turbocharged and Air-to-AirAftercooled. Provides improved fueleconomy by packing cooler, denser airinto cylinders for more completecombustion of fuel and loweremissions.Electronic Control Module. ECM-Advanced Diesel Engine Management2000 provides improved emissions,performance, advanced trouble shootingand diagnostic capabilities.Fuel Efficiency. The electronicallycontrolled, computer-actuated unitinjection fuel system has high injectionpressure for complete fuel combustion,greater fuel efficiency and reducedemissions.Engine Construction. Caterpillardesigned one-piece cast iron blockprovides strength and maximumdurability. Two-piece articulatedpistons with forged steel crownswithstand higher cylinder pressure.Electronic Transmission. The newelectronically controlled transmission isdesigned specifically for the articulatedtruck and its applications.Electronic Clutch Pressure Control.The ECPC technology works with thepatented Controlled Throttle Shifting(CTS) to manage shift torque andprovide exceptional shift smoothness.Controlled Throttle Shifting. CTSsignificantly reduces powertrain stressand clutch wear by controlling enginespeed, torque converter lock up andtransmission clutch engagements.Retarder. The 725 features an integralretarder with a new high-power densitydesign. Due to its compact size, the unitquickly fills with oil, providing faster,fuller response.Retarder Power. Increased powercapability gives operators greatercontrol on short, steep grades andminimizes the need to apply the brakes,resulting in extended service brake life.4
