Caterpillar C15 OHE Power Module

14.6L CAT C15

Increase from 429 BHP to 516 BHP and from 1,550 Nm to 1,880 Nm — without ECU remapping.

STEINBAUER performance module for the Caterpillar C15 OHE 14.6L CAT C15, designed to provide increased power and torque while retaining the original ECU programming and factory engine safeguards.

Key benefits

  • Up to +25% power and torque increase, depending on application.
  • No ECU software overwrite — the STEINBAUER system works alongside the original engine management.
  • Injection duration module developed to add performance without generic one-size-fits-all mapping.
  • Removable solution that can be removed if required.
  • Application-specific development for the individual engine and vehicle or machine application.
  • Efficiency — Stronger usable torque can help maintain progress at lower engine speeds with less unnecessary revving, which may support improved fuel efficiency in suitable operating conditions.

Actual fuel consumption depends on vehicle load, operating conditions, terrain and driving or operating style.

STEINBAUER Technology

  • External ECU technology — Works alongside the original engine management system without permanently rewriting the factory ECU software.
  • Load-dependent performance — Additional power and torque are delivered progressively as engine demand increases.
  • Application-specific calibration — Developed specifically for the individual engine and application rather than using a generic universal setting.
Commercial performance

Built for loaded truck operation

STEINBAUER truck applications focus on usable torque and progressive performance during laden running and sustained commercial operation.

Loaded running Stronger usable torque when the vehicle is fully laden.
Gradients Improved pulling performance on hills and demanding routes.
Lower-rev performance More usable torque can help maintain progress at lower engine speeds, reducing the need for unnecessary revving.
