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.
An array of innovative new engine and driveline developments are due – Mike Woof writes. With key construction machine events due in the New Year, various firms are already revealing plans for the future for their engines and driveline ranges and developments. Tough regulations on emissions have driven manufacturers to address this issue, while new and more efficient drives also help cut fuel use. Optimising power delivery provides an important component in reducing quantities of fuel burned, with a benefic
By optimising fuel systems and exhaust after-treatment packages, Perkins has increased the power density of its large engines as the firm heads closer to EU stage V emissions compliance.
A key example is the firm’s 1706J-E93TA. Previously, this 9.3 litre six-cylinder was offering a power output of 300kW. As it moves towards EU stage V certification, the power output has increased to 340kW.
“The Perkins EU stage V engine range has more models from one manufacturer than any other, so the 9.3 litre is just t
A series of innovations in engine technology will cut emissions and deliver fuel savings for customers - Mike Woof writes
The start of 2014 saw the commencement of the final phase of the current set of engine emissions requirements for Europe and North America. With the introduction of the first set of Tier 4 Final/ Stage IIV emissions regulations, new generation diesel engines used in construction will deliver cleaner operating performance than ever before. These highly efficient engines have been devel
Engine firms continue to develop new power solutions and refine existing technologies - Mike Woof writes
There has been strong pressure against internal combustion engines worldwide, with the scandal over the emissions from diesel powered private cars has strengthening opinion against these engines. Diesel engine firms are taking the long view by offering future power options such as alternative fuels and electric systems. The engine builders are also hard at work ensuring that power units for the indust
