A series of targets have been set and met with regard to the exhaust emissions permitted from off-highway machines used in North America and Europe. The latest round of requirements has seen the intr
Engine manufacturer Deutz showed its Tier 4 exhaust emissions standard TCD 3.6 L4 engine to the Chinese market for the first time.

Deutz went on to say that rigorous engine downsizing now provides its customers with additional installation space for exhaust after treatment components. The
