Cat Execs Proud of New CT Vocational Trucks; Short Drives Verify Premium Look ...



The CT (for Cat Truck) 660 is a major venture for Big Yellow, which quit the truck-engine business at the end of 2009 but has re-emerged as an enthusiastic and committed player in the on/off-highway truck market. It's Cat's first offering of a road-legal truck, and execs hope its solid reputation as a machinery builder will win many customers for the new product.

The new entry is being accomplished with assistance from Cat's strategic partner, Navistar International, whose PayStar vocational model served as the basis for the CT660. Navistar began building the trucks at its plant in Garland, Texas, in June. Several fleets are evaluating initial units and trucks are arriving at Cat dealers now.

Caterpillar first showed the CT at ConAgg/ConExpo Show in Las Vegas in March. On Tuesday executives reiterated what they said previously: that they paid a great deal of attention to remaking the donor truck into a true Cat product that vocational truck operators will recognize as a value proposition and one they can make money with.

Cat Trucks share the PayStar's chassis and Navistar's diesels, the latter painted yellow and given Cat designations. But Cat designers made major changes to the cab, cab mounts, and cab interiors, hood and grille, and steering gear, said George Taylor, director of the On-Highway Truck Group, and Gary Blood, vocational truck product manager. They and other executives briefed reporters at a company demo and training center west of the corporate hometown, Peoria, Ill.

In-cab "BSR" - buzz, squeaks and rattles - got a lot of attention from designers because "those are the things that drive a driver crazy and make him hate his job," Blood said. Among the results: Some wall panels are larger and fewer in number so there are fewer squeak-producing joints among them.

The dashboard and instrument panels are exclusive to the CT.
