For the third year in a row, Caterpillar On-Highway Engines
have received the highest customer satisfaction rankings
from international marketing firm J.D. Power and
Associates.*
Since 2000, Caterpillar engines have been ranked
highest by J.D. Power and Associates in Customer
Satisfaction in both Over-the-Road and Vocational
Heavy Duty Diesel Engines.
This three-peat in ranking highest is one of the
industrys most prestigious awards and indicates
that not only does Cat lead the way with innovative

*J.D. Power and Associates 2000-2002 Heavy Duty Truck Engine Studies based on responses from principal maintainers
of heavy duty trucks. Over-the-Road segment consists of over-the-road vehicles with sleepers. Vocational segment
consists of vehicles operating in typically rugged vocations such as dump trucks or refuse trucks. www.jdpower.com.
When tougher emissions regula-
tions went into effect in 2002,
other engine makers turned
to a compromise: Cooled-EGR
(Exhaust Gas Recirculation)
technology that recycles exhaust
back through the engine in an
attempt to reduce emissions.
But Caterpillar engineers didnt
stop there. Instead, we continued
to search for a better answera
long term solution that would
provide the same kind of reliability,
durability, fuel economy and
resale value Cat customers have
always counted on.
