More Comfort – More Performance – More Versatility

  • LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION

    Two power modes and an updated control valve and electro-hydraulic pump minimize fuel use and increase engine efficiency.

  • LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS

    With extended and more synchronized maintenance intervals, expect lower maintenance costs compared to the 315F.

  • ENHANCED COMFORT

    Large cab provides the space and visibility you need to keep you working comfortably and safely all day long.

  • LOWER CO2 EMISSIONS

    The 315 GC emits lower CO2 emissions compared to the 315F.

Engine

Biodiesel Capability Up to B20¹
Bore 4 in
Displacement 220 in³
Emissions Meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, and Japan 2014 emission standards
Engine Model Cat C3.6
Engine Power - ISO 14396 (DIN) 101 hp (metric)
Engine Power - ISO 14396:2002 100 hp
Net Power - ISO 9249 98 hp
Net Power - ISO 9249 (DIN) 100 hp (metric)
Note (1) Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air intake system, exhaust system and alternator with engine speed at 2,400 rpm. Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture.
Note (2) ¹Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations“ (SEBU6250) for details. * Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer).** Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels.
