PEORIA, IL – Caterpillar Inc. today introduced the next generation of the Cat® C9.3 ACERT™ industrial engine which is designed to meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV emission standards. The new C9.3 ACERT industrial engine is a 6 cylinder, 9.3 liter platform which produces excellent power density with ratings from 300-400 hp (224-298kW). The C9.3 ACERT fulfills customer requirements in a wide variety of agricultural, construction, mining, forestry, waste and other industrial applications.
The C9.3 ACERT is equipped with a robust, fully-integrated Clean Emission Module (CEM), which includes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. Caterpillar’s SCR technology reduces NOx and provides a robust and economical solution for our customers. Cat Tier 4 engines are designed to deliver maximum customer value to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and to end users.
“Utilizing a Cat common rail fuel system and new aftertreatment technology, the Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV C9.3 ACERT improves fuel consumption by up to 4 percent compared to the current Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB model,” said Mike Reinhart, Industrial Power Systems Marketing Manager.
The Clean Emission Module simplifies OEM aftertreatment installation with a flexible design that allows mounting in horizontal or vertical configurations. This allows our existing customers to easily transition from Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB to Tier 4 Final/Stage IV. The C9.3 ACERT industrial engine continues the legacy of durability, reliability, low cost of ownership and fuel efficiency.
