Caterpillar has revealed it’s brand new class of on highway vocational trucks for the U.S. market. The new CT660 is based on the International heavy spec Paystar truck line and powered by a International diesel engine. Caterpillar is quick to point out that the CT660 is not just a rebaged Paystar as significant changes to the chassis and frame have been made. With the economy showing signs of improvement Cat may have pulled the curtain back on this truck just in time.
