Reliability

Dealer Repair Frequency statistics show Caterpillar® heavy duty

engines offer outstanding reliability based on initial quality and
customer surveys.

Durability
Laboratory tests and engine disassembly analyses indicate
Cat® C13 engines are expected to have a B50 life of one million
miles with Cat’s recommended maintenance.

Fuel Economy
2007 compliant Cat® C13 engines are engineered to offer
the same fuel economy as EPA 2004 compliant engines.

Total Owning/Operating Costs

2007 compliant Cat engines are engineered to offer the same
reliability, durability, fuel economy and maintenance costs as
EPA 2004 compliant engines for outstanding overall value.
