Fuel Economy. With the 980H,
horsepower and shift points can be
tailored to match application requirements
in turn improving fuel economy.
Caterpillar allows operators to choose
between two horsepower settings through
the Variable Shift Control (VSC) dial.
When the dial is positioned in the
Standard Mode (1), operators will realize
349 constant net horsepower and shifts
occurring at higher engine rpm’s. In the
Intermediate Mode (2) operators will
experience 319 constant net horsepower
and transmission shifting at lower rpm’s.
Using the Economy Mode (3) engine
rpm’s at which shifting occurs will be
further reduced while constant net
horsepower remains at 319.
ACERT Technology Fuel Economy.
Based on Caterpillar testing, the fuel
economy of Cat engines with ACERT
Technology is 3 to 5 percent better
than current competing technologies.
This fuel economy is directly related
to the complete combustion of fuel due
to the integration between the electronic
control that monitors conditions, the air
management system that controls air
volume and the fuel injection system
that delivers just the right amount of
fuel as needed.
