One hundred years ago – just outside of Oakland, California – a legend was born. Its engineering innovations can be found in the DNA of today’s Cat® dozers.
Despite their weight and relatively slow speed, some early Cat® engines found their way into trucks. In 1939, the company introduced a diesel engine designed specifically for truck use. The six-cylinder D468 rated 90 hp (67 kW) at 1800 rpm ran all day on $5 worth of fuel. Advantages of diesel power then were similar to that of today – less maintenance, longer life, and less fuel consumption compared to gasoline engines.
