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.
Powertrain manufacturer FPT Industrial will display its latest solutions for construction applications, including its new flagship engine, the Cursor 16, which “delivers 18litre performance in a 13litre package.”
FPT, a brand of CNH Industrial, says its range for the construction sector is very broad, from 33-570kW, lately revamped with the state-of-the-art Cursor 16 engine for heavy-duty applications.
The Cursor 16 is the company’s biggest solution for the world of construction and is compliant to Ti
The Volvo Group is leading the field in delivering zero emission solutions for the future. The three divisions, Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Trucks and Volvo Penta, have all been investing heavily in developing new technologies.
Engine manufacturer Cummins is prepared for the coming EU Stage V emissions legislation, which is expected to take effect from 2019. The company has solutions fro its full range of engines from 55-300kW (74-400hp). Cummins said that through the use of new combustion, air flow and fuel injection systems, it has been able to meet the regulations on the four-cylinder QSF3.8 and QSB4.5 and six-cylinder QSB6.7 and QSL9 engines without needing to engine displacement. However it expects to see power and torque gai
Advances in transmission technology will help to optimise machine performance – writes Mike Woof. As construction machines have become more sophisticated, so have the transmission systems used in items of equipment. Advances in electronics and software in particular have allowed the development of integrated transmissions. These operate more efficiently and help optimise power delivery from an engine, boosting torque response and cutting fuel consumption and emissions at the same time. The smart electronics
