Caterpillar and Quinn Power Systems Enter the On-Highway Truck Market

Caterpillar Inc. unveiled the first model in its full line of Cat® Vocational Trucks, the Cat CT660, at CONEXPO on March 22, 2011.  The Class 8 trucks by Caterpillar will be sold and serviced exclusively through the Cat North American Dealer network, with production beginning after CONEXPO for customer delivery later in the year.

To develop its first line of trucks, Caterpillar leveraged its industry-leading technologies, extensive knowledge of worksite and operator environments gained from meeting the heavy equipment needs of a wide range of industries, and an unparalleled dedication to customer support. The trucks will offer custom solutions for a large variety of job applications—from moving rock and hauling trash to logging and pouring concrete. 

Caterpillar will offer the heavy-duty Cat Vocational Day Cab Trucks with a full range of popular engine ratings and torque capability options. The specs are designed explicitly for customers' demanding applications and include:

• Cat CT11 Engine with ratings from 330 bhp to 390 bhp
• Cat CT13 Engine with ratings from 410 bhp to 475 bhp
• Cat CT15 Engine with ratings from 435 bhp to 550 bhp

Because of its proven record for quality and reliability that maximizes uptime, the Cat CX31 Torque Converter style Automatic Transmission, with three standard locations for Rear Power Take Off drive positions, will be a noteworthy option for Cat Vocational Trucks. Caterpillar also offers a complete line of other OEM vocational transmission options, including Eaton manual and automated manual transmissions.
