kscarbel2 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Australasian Transport News (ATN) / May 26, 2014The first 50 buyers of the Cat CT630S or the CT630SC will get free extended service coverage for five years or one million kilometres, with no limit on fuel burning during that time.Buyers taking advantage of the offer will also receive an introductory package that includes an Oricom UHF radio, a Clarion touch-screen multimedia device, as well as a ‘bling’ kit that adds some stainless steel trimmings to the bonnet, headlights, and bug deflector. The CT630SC is the ‘Superior Cab’ version of the CT630S, and comes with a fridge under the bunk, as well as a TV and DVD player."The way we see it at Cat Trucks, this special offer marks the arrival of a couple of very special models," Cat Trucks Business and Brand Development Manager Glen Sharman says.The engineering work for the CT630S was all done locally, and is designed specifically for Australian conditions.Both versions of the CT630S have a 550hp (410 kW) Caterpillar C15 engine, and use neither exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) nor selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet emission standards."A huge amount of engineering thought and effort has gone into the development of these new models to ensure their suitability for the unique demands of the Australian market, and specifically the requirements of B-double operators," Sharman adds.Matt Wood recently got to test drive the production model of the Cat CT630S (http://www.fullyloaded.com.au/truck-reviews/1405/test-drive-cat-trucks-ct630s/). http://www.cattrucks.com.au/ct630s/be-quick/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g55Ea-yfXjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Australia- good place for them! In the meantime, the only outfit that I know that bought one in this area, has sold his-had enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 The video is quite interesting, giving yanks some idea about trucking down under. Note that he's running at 62 tons (136,687 pounds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I think Cat sucked up to O &G industries and gave them a couple of test trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Looks like a re badged ProStar.

2stacksuperdog Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I think Cat sucked up to O &G industries and gave them a couple of test trucks.They did. I haven't seen them around lately so they must have got rid of them. 1 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
