The C32B is the most power-dense high-speed diesel engine [note 1] of Caterpillar. The engine can produce up to 2433 marine horsepower at 2300 rpm. [5] The peak torque of 5532 lb-ft occurs at an engine speed of 1300 to 1800 RPM. The engine has an iron block, painted in grey. The engine weighs over three tons at 7500 pounds. The C32B is used in ...
Caterpillar increased the power output of the Cat 3524B EUI 24-cylinder diesel engine used in the 797 from net 2,394 kW (3,211 hp) to net 2,513 kW (3,370 hp) enabling the 797B to achieve a 68 km/h (42 mph) top speed when transporting a 345 t (380 short tons) load, a 3.2 km/h (2 mph) increase over the first generation 797.
In June 2008, Caterpillar announced it would be exiting the on-highway diesel engine market in the United States before updated 2010 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission standards took effect, [124] as costly changes to the engines, which only constituted a small percentage of Caterpillar's total engine sales, would be likely.

V12 marine diesel engines . Human-powered paddles and oars, and later, sails were the first forms of marine propulsion. Rowed galleys, some equipped with sail, played an important early role in early human seafaring and warfares. The first advanced mechanical means of marine propulsion was the marine steam engine, introduced in the early 19th ...
