Caterpillar Powered
On Highway Vehicles

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 10 years back first introduced their Model FLB in South Africa it started of where the Oshkosh truck had left of. The discontinuation of the Oshkosh left a huge void for owners whom has 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 proofed to be what was to be expected from a Caterpillar product 

In the Freightliner trucks Caterpillar engines have proofed them selves as reliable and fuel efficient 

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 is more purpose built is also available Caterpillar powered. The Caterpillar Models C15 & C16 suits these applications excellent.

INTERNATIONAL
South African customers now have the option to order their Series 7600 International also Caterpillar powered. In this application the Caterpillar Model C12 is offered at 380- 430 bHp delivering 1450- 1650 Lb ft Torque. 

With these offerings in products it has become more achievable to own a Caterpillar powered on highway heavy duty truck.
