Offering more drive options to meet the global mining industry’s needs, the new Cat® 6040 Hydraulic Mining Shovel features an added engine configuration that meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards. The new configuration includes two fuel-efficient Cat C32 engines, offering a total gross power rating of 1 550 kW (2,079 hp). Optimizing machine uptime and lowering operating costs, the engine package includes maintenance free Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC) and does not require Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)/AdBlue or Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF).
The new engine option joins the twin C32 configuration with optimized fuel efficiency settings to meet China Nonroad Stage III emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 2 as well as China Smoke Category III limits. An engine oil extension option plus new Cat Type 4 filters for both engine configurations help to further reduce maintenance costs.
