Technology advances for engine and driveline systems continue - Mike Woof writes
With the Stage V emissions requirements being introduced in Europe, a number of engine manufacturers have already announced their plans. Leading engine makers such as Cummins, Deutz, John Deere, Perkins and Volvo Penta have all released information regarding the engines that they will be offering.
The new standard introduces the particulate particle count (PN) and applies to all diesel engines above 19kW for off-road applic
A combination of engine and driveline technologies will reduce fuel consumption and increase performance in new generation, low emission machines
A wide array of new engine and driveline technologies being developed will help reduce emissions and fuel consumption, while increasing performance in the
latest machines coming to market. With engine manufacturers focussing on the Tier 4 Interim/ Stage IIIB and following Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions requirements for North America and Europe, sophisticated
Deutz is developing its presence in the Middle East market for engines and gensets
The firm is now offering complete gensets with outputs from 13-1,250kVA. Other technologies now available include units with hybrid operation that are said to deliver fuel savings of up to 65%. The firm claims that its high-performance DEUTZ POWER SOLUTIONS (DPS) series includes both air-cooled and liquid-cooled variants, with the standard package including integral fuel tanks, detailed monitoring functions and visual warn
New regulations and technology are driving change in the soil compaction sector - Mike Woof reports. The impact of the Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions regulations has been hard on some machine sectors in particular. Sloping engine covers have been introduced in several equipment categories as a way of improving visibility for operators, including soil compaction machines. At the same time, new machine guidance technologies have been developed and introduced to the soil compaction market, boosting produc
