“Cutting fuel costs is probably the greatest problem that anyone in transportation is facing right now.”

As school districts continue to face increased fuel costs and related operational expenses, transportation directors across the US have taken a direct role to steward innovative solutions.

While many school districts are forced to take a step backwards with the elimination and consolidation of bus routes, others have partnered with a global company to bring about local solutions. Platinum Performance, based in Atlanta, GA, is a leading global manufacturer of “Plug-in Power” performance products for CAT Diesel Engines. They have been equipping Caterpillar Diesel Engines worldwide with more horsepower. Private fleets, owner-operators and truck drivers across the globe continue to report substantial fuel savings.

“School districts are facing higher fuel costs every day and require immediate and flexible solutions. The adoption of renewable fuels and performance products that deliver on horsepower and fuel economy will become the status quo. We have built a strong alliance with transportation directors to aid them in maximizing their bottom-line,” said a spokesman for Platinum Performance.

There are many names for the Platinum Performance Power Harness - some refer to it as a CAT boost harness, others -- a CAT performance harness or a CAT power harness. Here is a brief summary of how it works:

A power harness adjusts the ECM, which in turns increases horsepower. The Platinum Performance Power Harness increases low-end horsepower – resulting in no turbo lag. Many truckers experience low throttle response due to turbo lag - a delay once the pedal is pressed until the turbo spools up to produce max boost pressure.

Therefore, if your truck has a turbo charger (all CAT diesel, electronic truck engines do) – you are likely to be affected by this common issue. With a Power Harness installed on your CAT diesel engine you can get on the road faster -- and customers have noted substantial fuel mileage savings.

Quick facts about the Platinum Power Harness:

• Compatible with On-Highway, Industrial and Marine CAT diesel engines
• Horsepower increases of 30-40hp -- individual results may vary
• Easy plug-in installation and removal in less than 5 minutes

CAT Diesel: Power Harness

On-highway diesel engine performance has become increasingly important. Your opinions & feedback on the Platinum Horsepower products are important in many areas - including design & development -- and quality reinforcement. Many of our top clients have enabled us to help them improve operations when it comes to fuel mileage savings and more.

When comparison shopping for a product -- manufacturer claims are important. But more important, is the feedback (good & bad) from real people that purchased it and use it day-in and day-out. Interestingly enough, I recently came across a post in "The Truckers Report" forum that illustrates this very point. See the summary below or click here.

'Roadhound,' with 10+ years experience on the road & a Platinum Performance customer wrote,

"I thought I would post if anyone were interested that I installed the and throttle response. I loaded some steel coils today weighing in at about 45,000 lbs., and it was like driving a different truck. Take off from a dead stop is a lot easier and gets up to speed a lot faster. Some hills I went over where I used to have to spilt or drop a gear, kept right on trucking in high gear. I can very easily tell the power difference. I have to leave for El Paso Saturday, so I will let you guys know if it made any difference in the fuel mileage, good or bad. Hopefully GOOD!"

Platinum Performance - the Caterpillar Diesel Engine specialist - has 12+ years of industry experience. Along the way, some of the biggest complaints we hear on a daily basis from CAT owners go something like this:

• The truck just won't pull hills like it used to.
• My truck has no power.
• The fuel mileage isn't the same... the truck feels lazy.
• My truck is stubborn on the hills... the throttle doesn't respond like it should.

Platinum Performance was born from years of testing, research and development to help truck owners get better performance, increased horsepower and fuel mileage savings across the board. The platinum horsepower products are forged out of commitment to diesel engine excellence. Our goal is to enable cat diesel engines to run at their very best -- which in turn means cost-savings, reduced trip time and better performance for our customers.
