Caterpillar® truck engines are legendary for their rugged durability. That quality continues to set Cat engines apart as they evolve in response to market and regulatory demands.

Cat engines of the 1980s earned the respect and loyalty of owner-operators for their strength, toughness and fuel economy. In the 90s, C-10 and C-12 engines caught the attention of fleet owners, who quickly recognized the advantages of improved fuel economy and increased load capacities.

The 21st century brings new challenges, and once again Cat engines are setting the standard. Thanks to new ACERT®  technology, Cat’s diesel engines still deliver legendary economy and durability while meeting today’s stringent emission requirements. Innovative ACERT®  technology meets today’s clean air regulations and establishes the building blocks for attaining the requirements of tomorrow without the fuel and maintenance penalties associated with EGR engines. 

Caterpillar®  engines offer another major advantage; they’re supported by the world’s strongest dealer network. Cat engine service centers - including Empire’s - are staffed by skilled, trained technicians and supported by the latest in technology, tooling and parts.
