Caterpillar-powered
On-Highway Vehicles

Hereby Barloworld Power, distributors of Caterpillar on-highway truck engines, assures its customers in the clearest possible way of its continued support of all its on-highway engines for all current and future models.

POWER, PERFORMANCE, Reliability, Durability, Fuel Economy, competitive maintenance costs and exceptional resale value make Caterpillar on-highway engines the customer value leader in the industry. 

FREIGHTLINER 
When Freightliner first introduced their Model FLB in South Africa ten years ago, it started of where the Oshkosh truck had left off. The discontinuation of the Oshkosh left a huge void for owners who had become used to the power and reliability of the 3406B On Highway truck engine. Initially the market was skeptical but soon the Caterpillar model C15 engine proved to be what was to be expected from a Caterpillar product.

Caterpillar engines have proven reliable and fuel efficient in Freightliner trucks.

Currently the Freightliner Argosy is available with the following Caterpillar engines: 

C12 380-430 bHp 1450-1650 Lb ft Torque
C15 435-550 bHp 1500-1850 Lb ft Torque
C16 575-600 bHp 1850-2050 Lb ft Torque

The Freightliner Columbia is available with Caterpillar C12 Engine rated as follows: 

C12 380-430bHp 1450-1650 Lb ft Torque

Western Star trucks which are more purpose built, are also available Caterpillar powered. The Caterpillar Models C15 & C16 are an excellent fi t for these applications.

INTERNATIONAL
South African customers now have the option to order their Series 7600 International Caterpillar-powered. In this application the Caterpillar Model C12 is offered at 380-430 bHp delivering 1450-1650 Lb ft Torque. With these offerings, it has become more achievable to own a Caterpillar-powered on-highway heavy duty truck.

UNMATCHED SUPPORT 
A focused and dedicated Barloworld Power sales team boast superior knowledge and experience on Caterpillar products. In a bid to ensure proper, professional after-sales backup support, service and parts availability on our truck engines, we have appointed thirty TEPS (Truck Engine Product Support) dealers across the country. 

When selected, these dealers are equipped with the correct tooling and training to render superior support service on Caterpillar truck engines. We already have thirty accredited TEPS dealerships in South Africa and also Botswana and Namibia, and will continue to bring even more dealers up to speed. 

EXTENDED SERVICE COVERAGE
Caterpillar now offers a full range of Extended Service Coverage offerings that can be purchased by customers to cover their Cat on-highway engines against defects in material and workmanship for up to 5 years and 800,000 km*, providing customers additional peace of mind. Please contact your local Barloworld or TEPS branch for additional details.
