CAT Offers Driver Training Video for New Diesels
Caterpillar
Veteran drivers have probably noticed that the new Caterpillar engines with ACERT Technology sound and feel different. However, Cat engineers suggest that operators take a new approach to spec’ing and driving the new products, so they’ve produced “Right From The Start,” a video for drivers.
“The cost of fuel isn’t going anywhere but up, so getting the best possible fuel economy and performance is critical to everyone driving an on-highway Cat-powered vehicle,” said Steve Brown, director of marketing, Caterpillar On- Highway Engines. “Our new video will help drivers and their OEM truck dealers correctly spec Cat engines with ACERT Technology, as well as provide driving tips to experience the best performance and fuel economy.” The 17-minute video talks about-among other things-progressive shifting, downshifting on grades in a way that will save fuel, and transmission spec’ing.
