On-Highway Engine Design Pro
Description:
Design Pro Software makes it easy to spec Cat on-
highway engines for the most effi cient balance between
fuel effi ciency and performance. A crystal-clear user
friendly interface, simple navigation and expanded
functionality combine with up-to-minute information to
make the spec’ing tool of choice better than ever before.
It’s still the fastest, most effi cient way to maximize the
everyday performance and the long-term value of any
Caterpillar on-highway engine.
The secret to a “good” truck spec is through analysis
of a customer’s performance requirements and
the correct selection of driveline components to
maximize performance and fuel effi ciency. Design
Pro is a software program that provides the ability to
compare performance of specifi c driveline component
combinations. It also includes a route simulation
program where selected specifi cations can be run
on more than 30,000 miles of U.S. and Canadian
interstate routes to more accurately evaluate vehicle
performance.
