Includes DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) related CO2. Fuel measurements are at 15°C. Estimated average fuel consumption improvements are based on tests or Product Link® data where available. Productivity improvements are based on test data.
**Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of  blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer).***Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels.
