New engine architecture from Perkins will help the firm deliver emissions solutions to meet future regulations. In Europe the Stage V requirements are being finalised but Perkins says that it will be ready with its new technology.
Emissions remain the focus for engine development but equipment manufacturers want clarity from regulators. Emissions remain a major challenge for the off-highway construction equipment market. The EU has tough targets in this respect and its objective is an overall reduction of CO2 emissions of 80-95% by the year 2050, compared to 1990 levels. There is considerable research already underway on how to reduce fuel consumption and to help ensure the security of energy supply. A number of industry sectors, suc

This 13litre unit delivers similar outputs to earlier generation 15litre and even 18litre single turbo engines. According to the company: “We have worked with the customers to find out what they need.”
The engine features a narrow design with the geartrain at the rear and the alternator mounted directly on the block.
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
German engine manufacturer Deutz has agreed a key supply deal with Chinese construction machinery manufacturer SANY. The agreement will see SANY fitting its wheeled loaders with the TCD 7.8 diesel engine from Deutz. These engines feature diesel particulate filters and are Stage V ready. Deutz has been supplying diesels to SANY Heavy Machinery for use in other machines for some time. However this latest agreement strengthens the supply deals between the two companies. These engines meet the Tier 4 Final/Stag
