C32 IMO II

C32 IMO II

The C32 marine propulsion engine is available at ratings that meet IMO II emissions regulations. It has a separate circuit aftercooling system (SCAC) for A through C ratings, six ratings with Wide Operating Speed Range (WOSR) and extended oil change intervals. Other benefits include proven engine operating history and performance iron with thousands of validation testing hours for quality and durability. The C32 marine engine is supported by the extensive Cat global dealer network and Caterpillar's standard warranty.
