Model History and Information: The Cat D7E was Caterpillar's diesel-electric medium dozer. In place of a torque converter and transmission, its Cat C9.3 engine with ACERT Technology turns a generator, and the AC current is sent through a power inverter to a propulsion module of electric motors connected to a differential steering system, so the operator has no gears to shift. Caterpillar presented it as a track-type tractor designed for a balance of heavy dozing and fine grading, with fewer moving parts and lower fuel and fluid use. The company also stated that the D7E could perform locked-track pivot turns for better maneuverability. This 1:24 radio-control replica carries D7E and Cat markings with a front dozing blade and a raised operator cab.
