Engine with ACERT Innovative techno ACERT Technology The Cat® CI 5 ACERT™ engine continues the evolutionary, incremental improvements that provide breakthrough engine technology built on systems and components developed by Caterpillar with proven reliability. Cat Clean Emissions Module (CEM) CEM is an exhaust aftertreatment package consisting of a diesel particulate filter, and control systems. The CEM reduces particulate emissions using passive and active regeneration during normal engine operation. The Cat NOx Reduction System (NRS) captures and cools a small quantity of exhaust gas, then routes...

Electronic Transmission The Cat seven-speed forward two-speed reverse Electronic Clutch Pressure Controlled (ECPC) transmission features enhanced shift control logic with anti-hunt shift strategy for speed continuity, and to ensure constant shift times. Min-max Governor Control ECPC control is matched to the min-max governor control for precise smooth shifting. The transmission arrangement provides a second reverse gear for improved performance when operating in longer rear hauling applications. Smooth Transmission Gear Shifting The 740B features ECPC Shift Torque Management (STM), with improved...

Automatic Traction Control (ATC) Front Suspension The three-point front suspension oscillates ±6° to provide a smooth ride, allowing the operator to travel at speed over rough terrain and softening impact loads on structures and components. Large bore, low pressure cylinders are purpose designed for tough applications and offer a soft, smooth ride. Rear Suspension Features a walking beam geometry with Caterpillar designed rear suspension mounts which provide a reliable and stable ride for excellent load retention. Automatic Traction Control Fully Automatic Traction Control (ATC). Inter-Axle-...
