A MASSIVE LAUNCH
One of the most anticipated exhibitions will be the brand new Cat trucks, which are being launched across Australia.
After more than 80 years as a leading equipment supplier, Caterpillar are branching into the truck market with their brand new series of long-haul trucks. These ground breaking new on-highway trucks, in particular the CT630 and CT610 models will be on display at the 2011 Perth Truck and Trailer Show.
Anyone involved in the trucking industry will be eagerly awaiting their first viewing of the newest truck to hit the market. The CT630 is Cat’s first Class 8 long-haul truck. A roomier, more functional interior, industry-leading aerodynamics and fuel efficiency come standard, as does a Diamond Logic electrical system and the power of a Cat 15-Litre, 550-hp, 6-cylinder engine with cruise control.
The CT610 is the first Class 8 regional-haul truck. Smart, weight-saving construction lets you carry more, while the shortest BBC in its vehicle class makes it easy to maneuver on busy city streets. A Cat 13-Litre engine and modern aerodynamics provide top-notch fuel efficiency that keeps you environmentally friendly.
The trucks, which were developed as part of a joint venture between Navistar and Caterpillar, are assembled in Australia.
