One of the most significant components in the development of the C175 was the integration of ACERT™ Technology into the engine platform. ACERT Technology is a synergistic approach utilizing a suite of complementary building block technologies that can be individually adapted to accommodate a specific application. In recent years, Caterpillar has spent more than $1 billion on the development of clean diesel technologies. Today, more than 330,000 engines are currently in operation with ACERT Technology, accumulating more than 2 million hours of use each day.
With the C175, the building blocks of ACERT Technology have been tailored to meet the current and pending emissions requirements of stationary diesel generator sets in a variety of applications.

|
Electronics |
Advanced electronics regulate fuel injection, ignition timing, and host of other engine functions to improve performance and response. |
|
Air Management |
Cross-flow cylinder heads force a large amount of cool, clean air into the combustion chamber. This results in higher power rating, improved
engine response, efficient fuel usage and lower emissions. |
|
Fuel Delivery |
The Cat® Common Rail Fuel System offers full control of fuel delivery and fuel pressure at any load or speed, resulting in superior transient response
and block load acceptance, as well as shorter recovery time. Additionally, the use of higher pressures, combined with precise control of time,
amount of fuel injection, injection pressure and multiple injections, improves cold start capability, lowers fuel consumption and reduces emissions. |
