- Construction: Operating excavators, loaders, and other construction machinery.
- Mining: Providing power for mining trucks, loaders, and other mining equipment.
- Aircraft Ground Support: Energizing ground power units and other support equipment.
- Industrial Applications: Driving pumps, generators, and various industrial machinery.
Compact Design and Easy Maintenance
The C6.6 engine is designed with a compact package size, making it ideal for equipment with limited engine compartment space. Multiple installation options further minimize the total package size. Routine maintenance is simplified by features like hydraulic tappets, multi-vee belts, “no ash service” aftertreatment, and 500-hour oil change intervals. Many service points are accessible from either side of the engine for convenient servicing. The S·O·SSM program, available through your Cat dealer, helps determine optimal oil change intervals for peak performance.
Aftertreatment Features for Tier 4 Interim, Stage IIIB
The C6.6 engine incorporates a passive regeneration system that is transparent to the operator, requiring no intervention. The aftertreatment system offers a wide range of inlet and outlet options, along with remote on- and off-engine installation possibilities for flexible integration. The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is service-free for the emissions life of the engine.
