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.
Deutz used bauma 2016 to introduce two new high-torque variants of its TCD sub-4litre engines. These include the TCD 2.9 and TCD 3.6 engines. Where the 2.9litre TCD 2.9 has been re-tuned to produce a maximum torque figure of 375Nm, the TCD 3.6 has been tweaked to deliver 390Nm. Importantly, Deutz said both engines remain below the 56kW emissions threshold for Stage V, so they do not require SCR to clean up exhaust gases.
Hyundai Construction Equipment says that its innovative HW155H hydrogen fuel-cell-powered, wheeled excavator is showing the industry how hydrogen could contribute to future carbon-free operation on construction sites. Digging and driving performance is said to match that of conventional diesel-driven machines.
The firm is leading the field with its radical zero-emission solution and according to a company spokesperson, “This machine is not a prototype any more. It is production-ready. But the market is not ready for it yet.”
