Power and Efficiency

C27 CAT^® Engine The Cat C27 Engine is designed and tested to meet your most demanding applications while complying with Tier 4 Final emissions standards or equivalent Tier 2 standards. The fully integrated electronic engine controls work in harmony with the entire machine for increased fuel efficiency. The engine idle shutdown feature reduces fuel consumption at idle. The engine delayed shutdown feature ensures longer life. Cat Planetary Powershift Transmission Optimize your productive time with the proven Cat Planetary Powershift transmission. Gear changes, component life, and driving comfort are optimized through our electronic transmission controls. Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC) This device allows operators to optimize efficiency by varying the effort at the machine rim while increasing hydraulic power. Reduced tire wear. Full throttle shifting for shorter cycle times. Smooth approach to the dump area to limit spillage and ensure shorter cycle times. Cat Lock-Up Torque Converter Eliminates torque converter losses while reducing circuit temperature. Improves travel speeds. Reduces cycle times in loading and hauling applications. Economy Mode Ensures optimal productivity and efficiency throughout the day, every day. The advanced technologies of the 990K systems allow you to save fuel. With on-demand acceleration, the 990K automatically manages engine speed while the operator focuses on the left pedal and equipment control. Provides the operator with the same control and sensitivity as the traditional throttle lock function. Combines the efficiency of manual throttle control with the ergonomics of throttle lock.
