Cat C11 Engine with ACERT Technology  
A combination of proven systems and innovative new technologies, ACERT engines optimize  
performance while meeting EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3a engine exhaust emission regulations.  
Cylinder Head and Piston Technology.  
The C11 has a cross-flow cylinder head  
with refined port geometry, which  
improves breathing and provides better  
combustion. The Monotherm/steel  
pistons have a forged steel design, which  
offers high strength, light weight and  
tighter tolerances. The result is better  
oil control, minimal blow-by and long  
liner life.  
Advanced Diesel Engine Management  
(ADEM) A4 Engine Controller.  
The ADEM A4 electronic control  
module manages fuel delivery to get  
the best performance per liter or gallon  
of fuel used. The engine management  
system provides flexible fuel mapping,  
allowing the engine to respond quickly  
to varying application needs. It tracks  
engine and machine conditions while  
keeping the engine operating at peak  
efficiency.  
Fuel Delivery. Multiple injection  
fuel delivery involves a high degree  
of precision. Precisely shaping the  
combustion cycle lowers combustion  
chamber temperatures, generating  
fewer emissions and optimizing fuel  
combustion. This translates into more  
work output for your fuel cost.  
ACERT Technology. The Cat C11 ACERT  
engine introduces a series of evolutionary,  
incremental improvements that provide  
breakthrough engine technology built  
on systems and components developed  
by Caterpillar with proven reliability.  
The technology capitalizes on Caterpillar  
expertise in four core engine systems:  
fuel, air, electronics and after treatment.  
ACERT technology is a unique and  
revolutionary systems solution that  
enables Cat engines to meet today’s  
clean air regulations, thus establishing  
the building blocks for attaining  
C11 Block. The one-piece, gray iron  
block features generous ribbing for  
stiffness and heavy bearing bulkheads  
for rigidity and strength as the crankshaft  
turns. Straight O-ring connection points  
reduce the loss of engine oil and fluids.  
Noise Reduction Technologies.  
Noise reduction has been achieved  
through design changes to the isolated  
top cover, oil pan, multiple injection  
strategy, insulated timing case cover,  
sculpted crankcase and gear train  
refinements.

Performance and Productivity – Power Train  
Integrated power train with more power, greater performance and lower fuel consumption.  
Mechanically Actuated Electronic  
Unit Injection (MEUI). A highly evolved  
fuel system with a proven record of  
reliability in the field. It combines the  
technical advancement of an electronic  
control system with the simplicity  
of direct mechanically controlled unit  
fuel injection. It excels in its ability  
to control injection pressure over the  
entire engine operating speed range.  
These features allow the C11 to have  
complete control over injection timing,  
duration and pressure.  
Air-to-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC).  
ATAAC keeps air intake temperatures  
down and, in concert with the tight  
tolerance combustion chamber  
components, maximizes fuel efficiency  
and minimizes emissions. Significant  
improvements in airflow are generated  
by a turbocharger, unique cross-flow  
head and a single overhead camshaft.  
Wastegate Turbocharging. Single  
Engine Overspeed Inhibitor. Electronic  
Transmission Control (ETC) protects  
against engine overspeeding by shifting  
the transmission up one gear at specified  
rpm settings. If the transmission is in its  
highest gear, torque converter lockup  
disengages.  
Retarder. Integral retarder with  
high-power density design. Due to its  
compact size, the unit quickly fills with  
oil, providing more retarding power  
and fast response times.  
wastegate turbocharger provides higher  
boost over a wide range, outstanding  
low-end performance with improved  
peak torque and enhanced engine  
response.  
Retarder Power. Increased power  
capability gives operators greater control  
on short, steep grades and minimizes  
the need to apply the brakes, resulting  
in extended service brake life.  
Electronic Transmission. The Caterpillar  
six-speed electronically controlled  
transmission is designed specifically for  
the articulated truck and its applications.  
It features anti-hunt shift strategy for  
speed continuity.  
Directional Shift Management.  
Regulates engine speed during directional  
shifts to prevent damage caused by  
high-speed directional changes.  
Hydraulic Fan. The remote-mounted  
hydraulic fan is temperature sensitive  
providing variable speeds when needed,  
which minimizes power requirements.  
The result is more power to the ground  
and faster cycle times.  
Programmable Top Gear Selection.  
Electronic Transmission Control lets  
you electronically limit top gear selection  
without the use of additional service  
tooling or mechanical limiting of  
the shift cane.  
Electronic Clutch Pressure Control.  
ECPC technology works with the  
Controlled Throttle Shifting to manage  
shift torque and provide exceptional  
shift smoothness.  
Controlled Throttle Shifting (CTS).  
Significantly reduces power train stress  
and clutch wear by controlling engine  
speed, torque converter lock-up and  
transmission clutch engagements.

To determine performance, read from  
Gross Weight down to % Effective Grade.  
Effective Grade equals actual % favorable  
grade plus 1% for each 10 kg/metric ton  
(20 lb/ton) of Rolling Resistance. From this  
point, read horizontally to the curve with  
the highest attainable speed range. Then, go  
down to Maximum Speed. Retarding effect  
on these curves represents full application of  
the retarder.
