Thousands of hours of customer research created the foundation for the C175 design concept. Some of the major advantages of the C175 family include:

• Proven Reliability with platform based on industry standard Cat^® 3500 series, and supported by thousands of hours of lab and field-testing.
• Wider Power Range including 2000kW to 4000kW @ 1500 and 1800 rpm.
• Power Generation at Higher Speed than traditional medium speed products in the same power range.
• Higher Power Density equals more output from a given engine displacement / footprint, resulting in lower installed cost.
• Complete Package including SR5 generators, EMCP3 package controls and package/remote radiator with flexible controls packaging options simplifies installation.
• Lower Emissions meet U.S. EPA Tier 2 standards with a line of sight to meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 and EU Stage IIIB emissions levels.
• Lower Maintenance Costs due to increased oil change intervals, longer life (durability) of components and longer top end as well as full overhaul periods.
• Lower Operating Costs due to lower brake specific fuel consumption than competitive products.
• Systems Integration. The C175 electrical system components are engineered to work together with a wide range of products such as Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), switchgear, remote monitoring services and customer building SCADA systems.
• Extensive Product Support from a worldwide dealer network with 24/7/365 parts and service availability.
