As a result of the certification implementation, ASC documents and monitors its environmental policies and objectives, documents continuous improvement projects as they relate to companywide environmental management and monitors/manages all sub-sequential legal and Environmental Protection Agency requirements.
Engine Receives Award
For the sixth time, a heavy-duty truck engine from Caterpillar Inc. has received an award for customer satisfaction in the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Heavy Duty Truck Engine And Transmission Customer Satisfaction Survey.
Caterpillar’s C-12 clean power engine has received the firm’s highest level of customer satisfaction for meeting the new emissions standards through the development of its own ACERT technology, based on interviews with 2529 customers who own two-year-old Class 8 trucks. The interviews measure customer satisfaction in four areas: Engine quality, engine performance, engine cost of ownership and engine warranty.
