Deutz exhibiting Stage V ready engines at INTERMAT 2015

At INTERMAT, Deutz will display its 2.9 to 7.8 liter engines which are already compliant with the upcoming Stage V emissions regulations, and will be designated with a special "Stage V ready" logo during the show.

Between April 20 and 25, DEUTZ AG will be showcasing its current product range for exhaust emissions standard IV at Intermat 2015 in Paris. This year, the Cologne-based engine manufacturer will be making a special announcement: in the 2.9 to 7.8 liter cubic capacity range, DEUTZ diesel engines already meet the forthcoming Stage V mobile machinery emissions standard which is expected to apply to Europe from January 2019. This will give DEUTZ customers long-term planning certainty. The relevant engines will be identified at the international construction trade fair by a special 'Stage V ready' logo, ensuring that
clear information is available to the market.

The changeover to a new emissions standard always represents a huge challenge for OEMs and engine manufacturers. Engine efficiency and emission levels are being progressively improved and have already reached levels which seemed unattainable years ago. This demands innovative technologies, both within the engine itself and as regards exhaust aftertreatment. Often, because of changes to the installation space, this latter requirement necessitates adjustments to the target application. This is where DEUTZ can already offer certainty to its customers. On the basis of the EU Commission’s Stage V proposals, published
on September 25, 2014, DEUTZ AG's diesel particulate filter (DPF) equipped engines in the 2.9 to 7.8 liter cubic capacity range already meet the limits envisaged for 2019. The definitive regulation is expected at the beginning of 2016.

In anticipation of the fourth emissions standard (EU Stage IV/US EPA Tier 4), introduced in 2014, DEUTZ had already re-designed substantial parts of its engine range from scratch and had implemented the latest exhaust aftertreatment technology. In conjunction with a sealed DPF, these engines already conform to Stage V. This means that no expensive modifications to customer equipment are needed for them to meet the next emissions standard because engine dimensions and design remain the same. DEUTZ is able to benefit from its broad series production experience across its entire product range up to 7.8 liters. Many users of engines which conform to the current EU Stage IV requirements are already opting for DEUTZ engines with DPF systems in order to meet local limits. This headstart in experience has resulted in a reliable technology and represents a unique selling proposition within the market. Irrespective of emission levels, DEUTZ is systematically continuing to enhance the performance of its engines. All DEUTZ engines fitted with a DPF are also certified in acc. with EN 1834 without requiring additional spark arrestors to be fitted and this allows them to be used in places with an increased fire hazard.
