Cat’s C7.1 engine redeveloped for less regulated markets

Caterpillar has re-engineered its 7litre C7.1 engine to create a power unit more suited to those markets with lesser-regulated emission controls. Meeting China Stage II emission regulations – equivalent to EU Stage IIIa/EPA Tier 3 – the C7.1 uses high-pressure electronic common rail fuel injection and a wastegated single turbocharger, to achieve a power output of up to 205kW.

178 Caterpillar has re-engineered its 7litre C7.1 engine to create a power unit more suited to those markets with lesser-regulated emission controls.

Meeting China Stage II emission regulations – equivalent to EU Stage IIIa/EPA Tier 3 – the C7.1 uses high-pressure electronic common rail fuel injection and a wastegated single turbocharger, to achieve a power output of up to 205kW. The engine does not require low ash oils or low sulphur diesel, and service intervals are said to be every 500 hours, according to application.

Stand: A4, 316

With power ratings from 116kW to 225kW, the 7.1litre six-cylinder C7.1 gets an SCR catalyst and diesel exhaust fluid dosing system as part of the exhaust after-treatment process. The larger C13 – 13litre, 287-387kW power sector – also gets an SCR and diesel exhaust fluid after-treatment system, but retains its active regeneration process. Both engines have been proven to have a total fluid consumption
