[. . . ] It excels in its ability to control injection pressure over the entire engine operating speed range. These features allow the C15 to have complete control over injection timing, duration and pressure.
Air-to-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC)
ATAAC keeps air intake temperatures down and, in concert with the tight tolerance combustion chamber components, maximizes fuel efficiency and minimizes emissions. Significant improvements in air flow are generated by a turbocharger, unique cross-flow head and a single overhead camshaft.

Transmission
Proven Reliability.
Electronic Transmission
The Cat® seven-speed forward, two speed reverse Electronic Clutch Pressure Controlled (ECPC) transmission features enhanced shift control logic with anti-hunt shift strategy for speed continuity, and to ensure constant shift times.
Min-max Governor Control
ECPC control is matched to the min-max governor control for precise smooth shifting.
Two Reverse Gears
The transmission arrangement provides a second reverse gear for improved performance when operating in longer rear hauling applications.
Smooth Transmission Gear Shifting
The 740B EJ features ECPC Shift Torque Management (STM), with improved Shift Control Logic (SCL) and Part Throttle Shifting (PTS). [. . . ] The large glass area and central operator position also provide excellent visibility.
Transmission and Ejector Levers
Finger tip controls allow easy operation and low effort. The ejector and transmission levers are positioned for easy comfortable operation, along with the control for top gear limit, transmission hold and neutral lock.

Durability and Reliability
High machine availability maximizes productivity and lowers costs.
Front Frame
The front frame design features a large box section and wide, stiff frame beams to handle torque loads.
The divergent frame design decreases stress in the hitch area and optimizes suspension geometry.
The frame design makes maximum use of robotic welding for increased durability.
Rear Frame
Twin-box construction minimizes stress concentrations and provides low weight with long service life.
Suspension
The three-point oscillating axle front suspension provides unparalleled ride quality. It also protects the truck from adverse road conditions by absorbing shock loads that would reach the frame.
Articulating/Oscillating Hitch
The articulating hitch provides the truck with steering articulation, and the oscillation ensures all-wheel ground contact in rough terrain.
Hitch Construction
Two-piece construction features a durable cast steel head bolted to a hard-wearing forged steel tube.
Fast Hoist Cycle Times
Fast body raise and lower times mean less time spent in the dump area.
Load-Carrying Capacity
The 740B EJ has a large target area to provide consistently high load-carrying capacity. Its diverging flow design gives clean load ejection, which maximizes production and avoids the waste of material carry-back.
Output Transfer Gear
Provides lubrication of all bearings and clutches using a distributed-pressure lubricated and filtered system.
Enclosed, Oil-Cooled Brakes
Multi-plate, oil-immersed brakes are fitted to both front and center axles. Product Link is deeply integrated into machine systems. Events and diagnostic codes, as well as hours, fuel, idle time and other detailed information are transmitted to a secure web based application, VisionLinkTM. VisionLink includes powerful tools to convey information to users and dealers, including mapping, working and idle time, fuel level and more. * Product Link licensing not available in all areas. Please consult your Cat dealer for availability.

New Features
Serviceability
More time on production.
Long Service Intervals
Long engine oil change and hydraulic oil change intervals lower maintenance costs and downtime. Wheel-bearing adjustment is completely eliminated.
Lube Points
Lube points are grouped at the rear of the front frame and the front of the rear frame. Universal joints are lubed for life, eliminating servicing. Autolube is optional.
Service Points
Engine and transmission dipstick and fill caps, air and fuel filters, and the fuel priming pump are all mounted on the left side of the engine under the electrically raised hood. Coolant level indicator and fill cap are outside the cab.
Radiator
The radiator package is located behind the cab, which provides protection from frontal impacts and offers easy access to the inlet and outlet sides of the radiator. The ATAAC radiator is located at the front of the truck.
Extended Life Coolant
Extends the change interval and improves component life by reducing aluminum corrosion.
Electrical Service Center
Located inside the cab, this service center provides a power port, diagnostic connector and Cat Data Link connector.
Cat Data Link Connector
The Cat Data Link connector provides a plug-in using a laptop computer with Electronic Technician (ET) software.
Service Access
The cab tilts to the side to provide easy access underneath, which simplifies access of the transmission, drive shafts and hydraulic pumps. Machine electrical and hydraulic interfaces are located on the right side of the cab, behind a removable cab body panel for easy access.
Truck Transport
The suspension system eliminates the need to lower the suspension when transporting the truck, reducing maintenance and downtime.
