DEUTZ diesel engines in the 2.9-7.8 litre range already meet forthcoming emissions standard
201 DEUTZ says that in the 2.9-7.8 litre range, its diesel engines already meet the forthcoming Stage V mobile machinery emissions standard which is expected to apply to Europe from January 2019.

The Cologne, Germany-based engine manufacturer will make the announcement as its showcases its current product range for exhaust emissions standard IV.

The company says that the news about its Stage V engines will give its customers long-term planning certainty, and the relevant engines will be identified at INTERMAT by a special Stage V Ready logo.

The changeover to a new emissions standard always represents a huge challenge for OEMs and engine manufacturers.

“By offering proven technology and flexibility as regards when to implement it, our aim is to provide our customers with the best possible product planning support and to help them upgrade their products to meet Stage V,” says Michael Wellenzohn, a DEUTZ board member with responsibility for sales/service and marketing.

DEUTZ says that on the basis of the EU Commission’s Stage V proposals, published on 25 September, 2014, its diesel particulate filter (DPF)-equipped engines in the 2.9-7.8litre range already meet the limits envisaged for 2019. The definitive regulation is expected at the beginning of 2016.

In anticipation of the fourth emissions standard (EU Stage IV/US EPA Tier 4), introduced in 2014, DEUTZ had already re-designed substantial parts of its engine range from scratch and had implemented the latest exhaust after-treatment technology. In conjunction with a sealed DPF, these engines already conform to Stage V.

    According to the VDMA the introduction of the EU-Exhaust Emission Regulation Stage III B poses a challenge for construction machinery manufacturers. It says the expense is enormous; a great deal of investment and development capacity is necessary; for the buyers that means higher prices, and in some cases greater efficiency on the building site. VDMA (German Engineering Federation) sees tighter regulation as “counter-productive,” and while the manufacturers have still got their hands full with refitting a

    For the off-highway equipment sector, 2014 is a year of note, as this is when the Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions legislation starts to be phased in for North America, Europe and Japan. For several years now engine manufacturers have been working hard to meet the demands of emissions targets set by legislators. This has been an extremely challenging task and one that many in the industry believed all but impossible just 10 years ago. Manufacturers have spent enormous sums developing engines that produce low
