MDEP Highlights

August 03, 2009 

Today’s MDEP Highlight includes results from a recent demonstration on a Caterpillar D9 Dozer at Whayne Supply.  On July 23 and 24, 2009, Whayne Supply Company, at its corporate headquarters in Louisville, Ky., hosted an introductory event focusing 100 percent on Mirenco technology to fellow Caterpillar distributors interested in becoming Mirenco products and service providers. The two-day event included an evening dinner on July 23, with presentations and on-vehicle demonstrations of Mirenco technology on July 24. Representatives from six Caterpillar dealers were on site for the event with additional representatives from another eleven Caterpillar dealers joining the presentation portion of the event through a web-hosted conference.  For more information on this event visit "From the Desk of the CEO" .

C-Max Demonstration on a Caterpillar D9 Dozer

A C-Max was installed on a D9 dozer to demonstrate first hand to visiting Caterpillar representatives what C-Max technology is capable of.  Using C-Max technology to match the engine's fuel injection to it’s real-time ability to burn fuel resulted in a reduction of DPM (Diesel Particulate Matter) from 23.7 to 9.1 percent, representing a annual fuel savings of over 2,600 gallons and a reduction of more than 1,000 pounds of DPM exiting the tailpipe.  Caterpillar representatives were impressed with the immediate difference that C-Max technology could make.  Caterpillar representatives were further impressed when they learned that this demonstration was on a certified rebuilt engine with only 4 hours.  C-Max technology has proven itself to produce impressive results on most engines including this newly rebuilt engine.
