Using electronic engine management, turbocharging and EGR, Lombardini’s KDI engine series delivers high power density and efficiency without needing a DPF

2277 Lombardini, part of the 2278 Kohler Group, has launched a new range of engines that meet forthcoming emissions regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter.

The KDI series – Kohler Direct Injection – includes 1.9-litre three-cylinder, and four cylinder 2.5 and 3.4 litre capacity engines.

The latter four-cylinder engine represents a new sector for the firm and gives it a high power density with 100kW of power. Previously, the firm’s engine range stopped at 60kW and 2.2 litres capacity.

“Customers will have the opportunity to downsize from much larger engines to our 3.4 litre turbo diesel and still generate high power levels,” said Nino De Giglio, Lombardini market research manager.

Using common rail injection pressures up to 2,000 bar, EGR, electronic engine management and turbocharging, the KDI series has the potential to deliver lower operating costs from higher efficiency and longer servicing intervals.

Fuel consumption is reduced by 15% says Lombardini, though the cost of adopting this latest technology is likely to see these new engines costing up to 20% more than their predecessors.

  • Cat adds more K-series wheeled loaders at INTERMAT
    January 6, 2017
    Cat has added three new models of wheeled loader to its range, badged 924K, 930K and 938K. All share the same basic architecture, differing in wheelbase, axles, machine width and bucket capacities – the latter extend from 1.9-5.0 cubic metres. The biggest change over the H-series models they replace is an all-new cab, offering a massive improvement in ergonomics and comfort. A wider, deeper front windscreen, climate control, seat-mounted joysticks and an ultra-low in-cab noise level of 66dB(a) are among i
