Deutz, with U.S. headquarters Norcross, Georgia, will be at ConExpo 2017 in Las Vegas from March 7 to 11 to present its expanded engine portfolio with cubic capacities now ranging from 2.2 to 18.0 liters. The company will be showing several new gas and diesel engines together for the first time in the U.S.
At its booth, S-85230, the company will unveil its new four-cylinder TCD 5.0 and TCD 9.0 diesel engines and six-cylinder TCD 12.0, TCD 13.5 and TCD 18.0 engines to the American market. The diesel and gas versions of the new three-cylinder TCD 2.2 and the gas version of the well-proven four-cylinder TCD 2.9 will also be on display.
The Deutz TCD 5.0 will be introduced worldwide in 2019 to meet the next EU Stage V emissions standard. The engine will also comply with U.S. Tier 4 Final. This five-cubic-liter diesel engine generates 135-200 horsepower (100-150 kilowatts) and 890 Newton meters of torque. The TCD 5.0 is a brand-new design with minimum pipework and fewer components.
Another Deutz highlight at ConExpo will be the new TCD 9.0. This nine-cubic-liter, four-cylinder diesel engine generates 300-400 horsepower (200-300 kilowatts) and 1,700 Newton meters of torque. Its highly compact size is designed for easy installation in applications such as excavators and wheel loaders.
Deutz is also showing two six-cylinder in-line engines—the TCD 12.0 and 13.5—generating up to 400 kilowatts (536 horsepower) and 2,500 Newton meters and up to 450 kilowatts (600 horsepower) and 2,800 Newton meters. The TCD 18.0 engine, designed much like a six-cylinder in-line engine, boasts up to 830 horsepower (620 kilowatts) and 3,600 Newton meters of torque.
All four engines are the product of a collaborative partnership with the Liebherr Group, with U.S. headquarters in Newport News, Virginia. Deutz plans to market these Liebherr-manufactured engines under its own brand name and make them available in 2019 via the worldwide Deutz dealership and service network. These engines will all meet EU Stage V, US Tier 4 Final, China IV and EU Stage IIIA emissions standards.
“Expanding our engine portfolio allows us to pursue new markets and grow our customer base,” says Robert T. Mann, Deutz Corp. (USA) president and CEO. “The TCD 5.0 enhances the strategically important range between 135-200 horsepower (100 and 150 kilowatts). In the future, our TCD 9.0 to 18.0 family will offer powerful four- and six-cylinder engines for heavy-duty applications.”
The company is not only expanding the upper end of its power range, but is also presenting three new engines for the lower power range. Generating up to 75 horsepower (56 kilowatts), the TCD 2.2—the three-cylinder variant of the successful four-cylinder TCD 2.9—will represent an additional option, particularly for material handling and compact construction equipment. Deutz is also introducing two liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) versions of the TCD 2.2 and the TCD 2.9. The engines are designated G 2.2 and G 2.9 and are especially suitable for forklift trucks, industrial, stationary and compact construction equipment.
