299 Perkins’ industrial engine range has been extended upwards with the development of 9.3, 12.5, 15.2 and 18.1litre engines that are based on a worldwide platform enabling engine production to be structured to meet emissions regulations ranging from Stage 3A through to anticipated Stage V regulations.

“We are expecting there to be five levels of emissions regulations that will need to be met for worldwide markets in the short-term,” said Oliver Lythgoe, who is responsible for product concept marketing at Perkins. “And this new platform will let us adapt after-treatment packages and software to meet regional market emissions from Latin America, China and Russia, for example.”

Power outputs across the range extend from 310-470kW in Stage IIIa guise, and from 340-597kW in Stage IV/V trim.
