Deutz introducing clean Stage V engines

Deutz is now introducing its new Stage V compliant diesels, with lower emissions than ever before. The firm has received EU Stage V emissions standard certification for its TTCD 6.1 diesel. The new EU Stage V emission directive for mobile machinery which will apply from 2019. The German Federal Motor Transport Authority has now formally certified the Deutz TTCD 6.1 engine for Stage V compliance. The entire range of TCD engines fitted with diesel particulate filters will meet the requirements.

Deutz has been awarded the Stage V emissions compliance certification for its TCD 6.1 diesel

201 Deutz is now introducing its new Stage V compliant diesels, with lower emissions than ever before. The firm has received 3287 EU Stage V emissions standard certification for its TTCD 6.1 diesel. The new EU Stage V emission directive for mobile machinery which will apply from 2019.

The German Federal Motor Transport Authority has now formally certified the Deutz TTCD 6.1 engine for Stage V compliance. The entire range of TCD engines fitted with diesel particulate filters will meet the requirements. ‘Stage V ready’ has now become ‘Stage V certified’. Initial certification of the TTCD 6.1 is to be followed in November 2017 by certification of the TCD 3.6, 4.1, 7.8 and TTCD 7.8.

The firm says that by obtaining the EU Stage V certificate, Deutz is also delivering on its environmental promise and positioning itself as an engine manufacturer with an eco-friendly focus. The EU Stage V emissions standard represents a major challenge to engine manufacturers, mainly because the recently introduced limit on the number of particles can only be met by fitting a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Deutz has been employing DPF technology for more than 10 years and it is a standard integral feature of its TCD product range. Changing from the current EU Stage IV to Stage V requires no additional installation space, avoiding expensive modifications to customers’ equipment.

Operating a DPF demands in-depth know-how. The load profiles are completely different depending on the equipment in which the engine is installed. An intelligent ‘Heat Management’ system is needed in order to be able to burn off the particles collected in the DPF. Deutz has developed what it calls a ‘Heat Mode’ to raise the exhaust-gas temperature and to ensure the machinery is operated safely.

    Europe’s political patchwork is getting a low-emission zone overlap, according to Malcolm Kent* By now, pretty much everybody in the industry will be aware of the Low Emission Zone in London, UK. But awareness of similar European zones about to start or expand might be more patchy. The background to all of these schemes is the problem of air quality, particularly European Union rules setting limits on acceptable pollution levels. It was found some years ago that several member states’ cities, including

    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.
