Below is a brief overview of the CAT C15 ACERT engine and what makes it a lasting favorite:

What Is ACERT: ACERT stands for Advanced Combustion Emissions Reduction Technology. Instead of heavy exhaust gas recirculation, it uses precise multiple fuel injection, improved airflow, and electronic controls to meet emissions rules while protecting performance.

Power and Performance: The C15 ACERT produces 475 to 580 horsepower and up to 1,850 lb-ft of torque from its 15.2-liter displacement, giving it the muscle for heavy loads and steep grades.

Twin-Turbo Design: Many later EPA-compliant C15 ACERT engines use a twin-turbocharger setup for strong throttle response and steady power under heavy load.

Applications: The C15 ACERT powers long-haul and heavy-haul trucks along with construction, mining, forestry, and industrial equipment, making it one of the most versatile big-bore engines Caterpillar built.

Emissions: C15 ACERT engines were built in EPA04 and EPA07 configurations. We list the emissions rating on every engine so you can match your truck's registration correctly.
