Deutz TCD 5.0 suits engine downsizing

TCD 5.0 is the name given to the latest engine from Deutz. The five-litre, four-cylinder engine fills a gap between the 4.1litre TCD 4.1 and 6.1litre TCD 6.1 engines. The new engine offers a power rating from 100-150kW but occupies the same physical size as the smaller capacity TCD 4.1.

Deutz TCD 5.0 features an overhead camshaft with potential for variable valve timing

TCD 5.0 is the name given to the latest engine from 201 Deutz. The five-litre, four-cylinder engine fills a gap between the 4.1litre TCD 4.1 and 6.1litre TCD 6.1 engines. The new engine offers a power rating from 100-150kW but occupies the same physical size as the smaller capacity TCD 4.1.

Key engine developments for the TCD 5.0 include an overhead camshaft design with maintenance-free hydraulic tappets. Deutz said that this development offers scope for variable valve timing in the future, along with improved thermodynamics and better heat management for exhaust after-treatment packages.

The company said the TCD 5.0 is an option for those seeking to substitute a larger engine without a sacrifice in power - or it can offer a performance increase for existing engines of the same physical size.

Using a single turbocharger and charge-air cooling, this latest addition to the TCD engine portfolio uses cooled EGR along with DOC, DPF and SCR to meet Stage V emissions regulations. However, integration of the EGR mechanism as part of the engine block makes the engine easily adapted – using blanking plates and software upgrades - to less stringent markets.
Deutz said a higher power version of the TCD 5.0 will follow.
