9
Cutting Your Fuel Costs
A strategy for lowering your cost per ton

The 773G introduces several key fuel conservation features:

• Auto Neutral Idle – as the 773G idles in a forward gear,
the transmission will automatically slip in and out of a
neutral state to avoid stalling the torque converter and
increasing fuel consumption.
• Engine Idle Shutdown – when your G Series truck is in
park and idles for more than a preset time, the truck will
initiate engine shutdown to conserve fuel. This feature
can be time adjusted or turned on or off according to
your specific needs.
• Speed Limiting – while you can continue to gear limit
your G Series trucks, Caterpillar offers speed limiting
that allows the truck to travel at a more fuel efficient
engine speed and gear selection.
• Transmission Controls – New APECS transmission
controls increase fuel efficiency by maintaining
momentum and speed on grade.

Economy Modes
• Standard Economy Mode – G Series has the ability
to adjust engine power based on your site, fleet and
economic conditions. You can manually control fuel
burn by adjusting the power down between 0.5 and
15 percent.

• Adaptive Economy Mode – New for G Series – this

economy mode requires a baseline for production
from you using the Advisor display. As the truck
transits the haul cycle, it is constantly evaluating
its ability to meet your baseline in a reduced power
setting. Where full power is needed, full power is
applied, where reduced power works, reduced
power is applied. It’s fully automatic with no special
operation required.

10
 Performance
Efficient application of power and technology

The 773G will haul your material faster and more

efficiently with increases in power and new APECS
transmission controls.
• A 5% increase in power improves cycle times and grade
climbing performance
• New APECS transmission controls carry more torque
through the shifts, producing faster cycle times and the
possibility of climbing grades in a higher gear

Traction Control
G Series introduces benefits to your
fleet when running in wet conditions by
introducing a more responsive traction
controls system.
• The system is steering sensitive to
determine slip from high speed turns
• The system engages at slower speeds
returning traction sooner
• The system engages sooner in the slip,
potentially reducing tire wear
• The system modulates instantly
between the two wheel groups
for control
• Using the hydraulic service brakes
facilitates the instant modulation
and responsiveness

11

10/10/20 Payload Management Policy for Optimal Machine Life

The ideal hauling strategy that maximizes machine and machine component life is to
keep the mean of all payloads at or below the machine’s rated target payload.

90% of loads should fall into this range

No more than 10% of loads should exceed 10% of the target payload
No loads should be above 20% of the target payload

DO NOT EXCEED

Retarding Performance (Tier 4 Final)

To determine retarding performance: Add lengths of all downhill segments and, using this total, refer to proper retarding chart. Read from
gross weight down to the percent effective grade. Effective grade equals actual % grade minus 1% for each 10 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling
resistance. From this weight-effective grade point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum
descent speed brakes can properly handle without exceeding cooling capacity. The following charts are based on these conditions: 32° C
(90° F) ambient temperature, at sea level, with 24.00R35 (E4) tires.
NOTE: Select the proper gear to maintain engine rpm at the highest possible level, without overspeeding the engine.
If cooling oil overheats, reduce ground speed to allow transmission to shift to the next lower speed range.

the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.
