I recently had the pleasure of testing a new ULSD ACERT prototype engine in a 2008 Newell.

With close to a 1000 miles of testing completed in the Arkansas foothills, I headed west to find some real challenges for the Newell 625 HP C-15 with 12 speed ZF transmission.

The coach performed flawlessly, and after six thousand miles, including extensive testing in Death Valley's steep terrain and torturous 100 degree plus heat, along with criss-crossing the Sierra Nevada mountain range, I am a CAT ACERT 'fan' (I have always been a Newell fan). I will spare you the details, but just from a 'green' standpoint, I was proud that the interior of the tailpipes were as spotless at 6000 miles as when they were installed. I can't help but think that in some of the areas I drove through, the ACERT engine was actually cleaning their air.
