Worldview
Tough
Neighborhoods
Fuelish
Actions
By Mike Brezonick,
Waukesha, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
By Ian Cameron,
Ashbourne, England
Once the purview of only industry
giants, the lure of the emerging markets has beckoned many small and
midsize manufacturers to expand
globally. But as many have found, the
world is a pretty tough neighborhood.
It can be hard to understand the rules
— and harder still to play by them.
An executive at a small manufacturer recently lamented how in some
regions, he was essentially expected
to bend the rules to get ahead — to
pay for play.
While that may be part of business
in some places, the U.S. government
takes a dim view of such practices.
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
holds U.S. companies to certain standards offshore. The penalties are very
real, intended to be a disincentive to
firms trying to get ahead by taking
ethical shortcuts.
But ethics in one place can be seen
as naiveté in another. And while a
large company can choose not to play
— “I can put my factory in the next
town, thank you!” — that’s not an option for the little guys.
What this executive found most
frustrating was the reaction when he’s
raised the issue at industry forums,
trade groups or even U.S. government meetings. “Well, if someone
wants you to do something illegal,
just walk away!” is a common refrain.
Easier said than done.
Others suggest plausible deniability
as a solution. As one observer put it,
“That’s what you have local distributors for.”
Yet that’s no answer, as by U.S.
law, companies are liable for what
their local representatives do. A bribe
by someone in South Nowheristan is
just as much a crime as it would be if it
happened in the South Bronx.
No one expects everyone to be
the same, and sometimes business
includes sharp elbows and sharper
dealing. But it shouldn’t be so sharp
as to possibly include jail time. dpi
This “Worldview” is brought to you
live from a fuel court in England.
As I sit in my car awaiting my
turn to fill up, a long stretch of fellow drivers sit impatiently in their
vehicles behind me, engines running, as they desperately seek their
diesel dose.
In front are those drivers who
have reached The Holy Land, or petrol pump as it is known, and greedily
reach for the nozzle like a nicotine
addict grasping his final cigarette.
The U.K. is in the grip of a fuel
crisis prompted by a threat to take
strike action by the already hugely
paid fuel tanker drivers.
Their vote for action prompted
the U.K. Government to advise motorists to fill up their vehicles by as
much as they could and as often as
possible.
The result? Panic buying.
However, there is no official
strike yet under way, merely the
veiled threat of such action. The
tanker drivers are still delivering,
the fuel stations continue to operate
(although they frequently run out of
petrol and diesel) and the Government continues to make millions of
pounds in fuel taxes.
But the whole sad episode underlines some of the modern world’s
obsessions with fuel, the desperate
devotion to diesel and the passion
for petrol. We are, at least in the
U.K., just a rumour or threat away
from panic for no real reason.
At the merest suggestion the fuel
pumps are to run dry, there is alarm
on the forecourt.
During World War II the Government, in a bid to keep up the
morale of the British public and to
calm fears, printed posters bearing the message “Keep Calm and
Carry On.” Perhaps the posters
should be reprinted in the millions and plastered on every U.K.
filling station. dpi

Compared with previous engines, Scania’s
new V8 engine has increased power from
485 to 588 kW for workboats and from 625
to 735 kW for patrol craft.

Scania introduces 16 L V8 engine
rated 405 to 736 kW
By Bo Svensson
S
cania’s new 16 L V8 marine
engine produces 552 kW for
continuous use and up to 736
kW for patrol craft use. The
new engine platform retains traditional
Scania characteristics like individual
cylinder heads, camshaft located high
in the block and rear-mounted timing
gears, as well as the familiar cyclone
oil filter. The engine is based on Scania’s modular engine platform that has
found successful use in industrial applications, trucks and buses.
“Today our marine engine offering
is based on a new line of engines for
propulsion and auxiliary use,” said
Robert Sobocki, senior vice president
and head of Scania Engines. “The
new marine program consists of this
new 16 L marine engine and the 13
L marine engine, which we launched
last year. Both engines are designed
for maximum reliability and durability,
as well as low operating cost.”
For the new V8 engine, the bore has
been slightly altered compared with
previous Scania engines. The swept
volume has increased from 15.7 to
16.35 L. Torque ratings of the new
Diesel Progress International
engine have also been increased,
making it easier to maintain favorable
operating speeds during work at high
sea or with a heavy load, Scania said.
Compared with previous engines the
power has been increased from 485 to
588 kW for use with workboats and from
625 to 736 kW for use in patrol craft.
The engine is equipped with Scania’s PDE unit injectors for fuel injection, and is prepared for a common
rail system to meet future emissions
requirements. Today the engine complies with IMO 2, EU Stage 3a and
U.S. Tier 2 emissions standards.
“The new engine features Scania
EMS, an in-house developed engine
management system that is outstandingly flexible when it comes to
tailoring engine performance to individual customer applications,” said
Sobocki. “And it is one of the keys
behind the outstanding environmental performance of our engines. With
outstanding power-to-weight ratio we
are now entering new segments and
are confident that our engines will
challenge larger engines, well above
20 L displacements.”

A single seawater circuit is used
for the two charge-air coolers and the
two heat exchangers, located on each
side of the engine, for engine cooling.
“Important features for the marine
engine segment are reliability, high
uptime, a generous torque at low r/min
and good fuel economy,” said Håkan
Sterner, director, Technical Developments, Scania Engines. “The cylinder
block and other structural components have been redesigned for additional strength. The service life of
pistons and liners is enhanced by the
Scania saver ring — a ring placed at
the top of the cylinder liner to reduce
coke deposits and engine wear.”
Maintenance and oil-change intervals have been extended to 500 hours.
Shared components and systems between Scania’s different engine series
reduce costs for parts stocking and maximize availability. Also, training of staff is
facilitated by the system’s commonality
between the engine series. dpi

Power Generation
The QAX portable generators by Atlas
Copco cover a power range from 12 to
60 kVA at 1500 r/min, using Deutz Stage
2 compliant diesel engines.
Atlas Copco Expands
QAX Gen-Set Lineup
By Roberta Prandi
T
he QAX range of portable
generators by Atlas Copco includes five models for 50 Hz
frequency, spanning from the
QAX 12 to the QAX 60 from 12 to 60
kVA at 1500 r/min.
The generators feature Deutz diesel engines compliant with EU Stage
2 regulations. Two-, three- and fourcylinder engines rated 12 to 55.2 kW
power the gen-sets. The engines are
mated with Stamford alternators.
Three models in the QAX range, the
QAX 12, QAX 20 and QAX 30, feature
the Atlas Copco HardHat canopy design upon request. Atlas Copco said
this canopy is constructed of linear
medium-density polyethylene (LMDPE), for a durable design able to
withstand the harshest of conditions
and treatment.
At the Middle East Electricity ex-
Diesel Progress International
hibition in Dubai, UAE, Atlas Copco
challenged customers and visitors
to inflict as much damage upon the
canopy of the generator as they
could with a sledgehammer. The
company said that despite a constant
stream of bashings, the QAX30 generator stood strong — suffering only
minor grazes.
Michael Sagermann, regional business line manager at Atlas Copco
Middle East, said the ultra-durable
HardHat design increases the life and
resale value of the portable generator
while at the same time saving users
on operational costs.
“Inevitably generators are bumped
and scratched to various levels that
make the machine look old and unattractive,” Sagermann said. He added
that the lifespan of these generators
is years longer than conventional
6
portable generators, while holding an
increased amount of its original price
tag for resale.
“The LMDPE is structurally strong,
does not scratch or dent, thereby
keeping it looking very new, and upon
reaching the point of time for replacement increases its resale value on the
second-hand market.”
All QAX generators have a standard sealed spill-free frame to ensure that all fluids are retained within
the frame. Atlas Copco said attention has been placed on increased
uptime, with carefully selected components and a tested configuration.
Service intervals have been raised
to 500 hours. dpi

Cummins has introduced the next generation
of its ISB4.5 Euro 6 engine. The four-cylinder
engines are available at up to 154 kW for
trucks and 147 kW for buses.
Cummins
Outlines Euro 6 Route
Launches four- and six-cylinder ISB engines
By Ian Cameron
C
ummins has unveiled its
technology route to move its
well-established four- and
six-cylinder ISB engines forward to meet the Euro 6 emissions
regulations in 2013.
The engines will use a combination of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and variable geometry
turbocharging (VGT) allied with a new
aftertreatment system using a diesel
particulate filter (DPF) and selective
catalytic reduction (SCR).
The company said that by the time
Euro 6 is implemented, more than
80 000 hours of engine testing will be
finalized at its Darlington, Englandbased European Technical Centre.
Cummins’ next generation of the
ISB6.7 engine for Euro 6 extends up
to 228 kW for truck and coach installations, and 206 kW for bus applications. Peak torque for the 6.7 L engine
Diesel Progress International
remains at 1100 Nm. The latest version of the Cummins six-cylinder B
Series builds on the B5.9 and ISBe6.7
engines, which have a 20-year history.
Backing this up, said Cummins, is
the EPA 2010 engine technology of
cooled EGR with VGT adapted for European emissions. The company said
the EGR system is redesigned for better integration with cab-over applications, and the Cummins VGT is optimized for high-torque and low-speed
capability, delivering performance and
driveability improvements. The VGT
can also function as an exhaust brake,
allowing the OEM to remove cost from
its system. These are controlled by a
new electronic control module (ECM)
with increased capability for controlling engine and aftertreatment with
more challenging onboard diagnostics (OBD) monitoring requirements,
said the company.
10
Neil Pattison, director - Automotive
Engine Business for Europe, Middle
East and Africa, said, “Versus Euro
5, Euro 6 sees oxides of nitrogen reduced by a further 77% with particulate levels reduced by a further 50%.
The change in particulate measurement in the legislation from weight to
unit count means that the real-world
numbers will realize a drop closer to
99%. This is a significant challenge for
all manufacturers to meet.
“To date, we have over 330 000 EPA
2010 engines operating in the U.S. By
the time Euro 6 comes in, we will have
over three years’ experience using all
of the key technologies. We can use
the combustion and aftertreatment
architecture and tailor it for European
market operations and duty cycles.”
For the aftertreatment to meet the
required emissions levels, the ISB6.7
uses a new aftertreatment system,
which has been specifically designed
and developed for Euro 6. It comes in
a switchback configuration for compact installations and is packaged
ready for OEMs to fit directly to their
chassis. Controlled by the ECM, it
incorporates a Cummins particulate
filter (CPF) with SCR to meet the low
levels required at Euro 6.
Cummins said the patented SCR
system uses copper zeolite technology for a higher conversion efficiency, even at low temperatures. The
CPF manages regeneration events
without the need for driver intervention, said Cummins. The airless Adblue dosing nozzle is integrated in

A match for
every challenge.
ENTARON XD – maximum performance in compact form
When the going gets tough you need not only performance but also flexibility
and endurance. The ENTARON XD air filter from MANN+HUMMEL combines
these three features. The new main element is designed to provide maximum
service life under ultimate mechanical stress and dust exposure. The
three-piece housing design offers maximum space flexibility and a
pre-separation rate of over 85% also ensures that the filter can be adapted
to every situation. Which therefore makes this compact powerhouse the best
solution on the market even for demanding applications.

Cummins’ next-generation
ISB6.7 engine for Euro 6.
The engine extends up
to 228 kW for truck and
coach installations, and
206 kW for bus applications. Peak torque for
the 6.7 L engine remains
at 1100 Nm.
the system for improved reliability
and durability, it added.
A further emissions improvement
is the new closed-crankcase ventilation (CCV) system mounted to the
engine valve cover. It is needed to
recycle blow-by gases now counted
in engine emissions and has been repositioned for cab-over designs. Also,
a new nanotechnology-based filter
media has been introduced to protect
the engine’s fuel system, removing up
to 98.7% of all particles as small as 4
microns. The filter’s replaceable service element has less environmental
impact than its predecessor, according to Cummins, and a no-filter, norun design prevents the engine from
running without a media element installed, eliminating the risk of debris
entering the engine.
Cummins also introduced the next
generation of its ISB4.5 Euro 6 engine. The engine has been proven in
trucks up to 18 tonnes and buses to
12 m at Euro 5 and has been used for
diesel-electric hybrid buses in the U.K.
and Europe.
Available at up to 154 kW for trucks
and 147 kW for buses, the fourcylinder engine was designed and developed in the U.K. and assembled in
Diesel Progress International
the company’s Beijing, China, factory
— a joint venture with Beiqi Foton.
Cummins said the new ISB4.5 also
merges Euro 5 technologies with the
recently launched ISF3.8 engine and
also U.S. EPA 2010 technologies. The
ISF3.8 was launched in 2008 initially
for supply to Foton in China and was
developed as the next-generation
four-cylinder Cummins ISB engine.
The new engine’s block and cylinder
head are 10 and 20% lighter, respectively, than the previous ISB4.5, with
additional benefits including improved
coolant flow and cylinder pressure capability with less noise, vibration and
harshness, said Cummins.
To reduce weight and noise, components including the oil pan and
valve cover are made with composite material. The pan has an integral
dipstick and tube and suction tube,
reducing the number of parts. Both of
the new engines use Bosch common
rail fuel injection.
Other features of the ISB4.5 include
the use of a CCV system integrated
into the camshaft, which does not
require servicing; an engine lubricating pump driven by the crankshaft
via a gerotor design rather than by a
gear from the crankshaft and a cool12
ing module, which combines the water pump, oil filter and oil cooler. This
leads to improved pressure management and enhanced durability and robustness, Cummins said.
The company said the engine is approximately 10% lighter than the current model due to the changes, despite
the EGR and VGT technologies being added. Cummins added that the
design of the combustion makes the
engine quieter than the Euro 5 version.
The EPA 2010 technology of cooled
EGR with VGT has been tailored for a
four-cylinder product and European vehicle operations, said Cummins. It added that the EGR system is scaled for
this application and the Cummins VGT
has been optimized for higher torque
and lower speed capability, which provides performance and driveability improvements. A further benefit to European OEMs, said Cummins, is that it
allows the removal of the exhaust brake.
These systems are controlled by a
new ECM with increased capability for
controlling the engine and aftertreatment with more challenging onboard
diagnostic monitoring requirements.
A new aftertreament system is
installed on the ISB4.5 specifically
designed for Euro 6. It comes in a
switchback configuration for compact installations and is packaged
ready for OEMs to fit directly to the
chassis. Controlled by the ECM it
has a CPF with SCR, which uses
copper zeolite technology for high
conversion efficiency even at low
temperatures, said Cummins.
“For medium-duty truck and bus
use, the near-zero levels of emissions
legislated at Euro 6 mean that the majority of manufacturers will no longer
have a choice of which technology to
adopt,” Pattison. “They will need to use
all of them. However, the way in which
OEMs balance these technologies in
their emissions ‘recipe’ will have a major impact on the end product.” dpi

Caution The Watchword For
European Equipment Markets
By david phillips
I
n 2009, the effects of the global financial crisis of the previous year
were at their peak and the construction equipment market in Western
Europe collapsed to its lowest level
of sales for 22 years in the second of
two disastrous years for the industry. In
2010, demand staged a modest recovery of 17% and the positive trend continued in 2011, as the region showed
an increase of 23% to reach 123 455
units. That’s still 16% below the longterm average, but the weakness is
concentrated in the specific countries
— Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Spain —
that are in the headlines because of
their sovereign debt problems.
Each of those four problematic
countries has its own story of woe, but
a broad measure of their changed fortune is to see how their share of the
region’s sales has changed. At their
height in 2006 they accounted for
31% of the region’s sales. In 2011 that
had fallen to 12%.
Better news was the buoyant
growth in every other country. The
large volume markets of Germany
and France showed increases over
30% and the U.K. did nearly as well.
Benelux and Scandinavia came back
equally strongly. While there has been
evidence of a recovery in business
confidence in many European markets before autumn 2011, the shortto medium-term outlook for the sector
is still tempered with caution by suppliers. The difficulty is to evaluate the
effect of the financial turbulence evident in the Euro zone. Many are feeling that the recovery may now be over
and are reluctant to predict increases
in demand that would bring the market back to what might be described
as more normal levels.
On a positive note, there has been
renewed investment by rental companies and, in some cases, stabilization of manufacturers’ and dealers’ stock levels in the north and
center of the region. The tightening
of credit lines, however, remains a
feature of the industry and continues to act as a hindrance to a more
sustained recovery in sales of new
construction equipment.
Traditionally Europe has four dominant markets — Germany, the U.K.,
France and Italy — but the halving
of demand in Italy since 2008 means

that in effect the big markets are now
only three. In 2011 that “Big Three”
accounted for 68% of sales, only a
few points short of the 73% of the “Big
Four” in 2008. Spain is the fallen giant
of the region, once taking 11% and
now reduced to 2%.
Germany was again the largest
market in 2011, with sales rising no
less than 38% to 34 000 units (the
second highest level of the last 17
years), accounting for 27% of regional
demand. Government fiscal stimulus
programs aimed at infrastructure projects boosted growth, and owners who
had postponed fleet renewals took
advantage of rising used machinery
prices and good delivery times. Demand in 2012 is likely to remain at a
high, but stable level following cumulative growth of 70% during the last

two years, and 2013 will inevitably
see a moderate decline in sales, by
which time much of the recent pent-up
demand will have been satisfied.
The U.K. is the second largest market, accounting for 21% of regional
demand. While there was a strong
recovery in 2011 of 28% on top of
the 19% growth in 2010, the market
is nevertheless still fragile, 40% below
the peak seen in 2007.
The rental companies were busy
replacing aging machines and with
80% of the market volume coming
from their three favorites — mini and
standard excavators, and telescopic
handlers — demand was surprisingly
healthy. It was a direct consequence
of rental companies disposing of machines in 2008 so as to survive the
impending recession. Four years later
the outlook is on balance optimistic
and after a shaky start 2012 should
achieve a repeat of 2011 in terms of
market size.
France was the third largest European market in 2011, accounting for
20% of regional sales. At last, construction activity was on the increase
and rental companies did very well
and wanted to re-equip. A lot of
Diesel Progress International
the increase came from one rental
company favorite — mini excavators.
Italy fell to below the 10% level in
terms of its share of regional sales,
suffering a 22% decrease. The decline
has been largely attributable to the difficulty of opening credit lines for the
purchase of new equipment, turmoil in
the global financial sector, the slowing
down of construction activity and the
large population of nearly new, underutilized machines. This in turn has led
to a general loss in confidence that has
been compounded by the political troubles at the end of the Berlusconi era.
In 2012, industry sentiment remains
understandably cautious. Nobody
wants to say with any conviction that
sales will return to the peaks seen in
2006 and 2007, and even in the 11
countries that did well in 2011 there
is no prediction of growth on balance.
Hopes of a more sustained recovery
must, however, be tempered by several considerations, most notably the
Euro zone’s crisis. For the industry
there is also the consideration of the
large population of perfectly usable
machines in every European country
as a result of the high volume of sales
during 2003 to 2007. There is very little
16
reason to believe that there will be any
urgent requirement for major additions
to the existing fleets of equipment, so
future sales depend entirely on the replacement of machines and the necessary credit flow to do that job.
The 10-year historical average
level of sales in the region has been
in the order of 147 000 units a year.
But nobody sees the industry getting back to that level in the next five
years and that growth beyond the
level of 2011 is unlikely.
Following the recovery experienced
in 2010 and 2011, the strength of which
surprised many in the industry, it is likely that future demand will be flat across
the region for the next five years. Having
fallen from a historical high of 212 000
units experienced in 2007, to the low
of 2009 when only 86 000 units were
sold, the market had largely recovered
its strength to record 123 000 units in
2011. This compares favorably with the
historical 10-year average of 146 000
units when one discounts the unusual
bulge of demand experienced in 2005
to 2007, and it is likely that future European demand will settle at around 120
000 to 125 000 units a year for the foreseeable future. dpi

CONTROLS
ComAp’s new product family comprises an InteliBifuel control unit,
which is expanded through built-in
PLC functions and a choice of two
anti-knocking modules.
ComAp’s New Dual-Fuel
Controllers
By Ian Cameron
E
ngine control supplier ComAp
has developed a new dual-fuel
control management package
called InteliBifuel. The Czechbased company said the controllers
are designed for use as a standard
dual-fuel control platform for diesel
generators as well as for use with
engines suited to generator packagers and OEMs looking to deliver
more economical power packages to
their customers.
The technology was first introduced
by ComAp in 1994, and the company
said it used its many engine conversions as the platform for the development of the fully integrated packages,
which provide advanced monitoring,
protection and control of engine dualfuel operation.
ComAp said the technology is designed to reduce the cost of power
generation by up to 75% by using two
fuels at the same time — diesel to start
the engine and gas (either natural,
well, landfill, coal, propane or biogas)
for subsequent engine operation. This,
Diesel Progress International
in turn, can extend runtimes without
the need to refuel so frequently and will
contribute toward a general reduction
in particle emissions such as CO2, NOx
and SOx, the company added.
The new product family comprises an
InteliBifuel control unit, which is expanded through built-in PLC functions and a
choice of two anti-knocking modules
(for six-cylinder engines the InteliBifuel
Denox 2 is used and for engines over
six cylinders the InteliBifuel Denox 20 is
used), as well as a dual-fuel module for
effective fuel control and monitoring.
ComAp said the integrated InteliBifuel package provides a high level
of flexibility with a range of enginespecific modules and the ability to
communicate through standard and
proprietary CAN J1939 protocols for a
range of commonly used EFI engines.
While offering remote communication
and 500 history files for logging of engine events, the InteliBifuel also integrates a set of PLC (analog and binary) functions enabling the customer
to control and regulate any additional
18
components and functions associated
with engine fuel management.
The fuel control unit works by increasing and decreasing the amount
of gas across the engine loading
range automatically without any manual or regular adjustment required
from the operator. This ensures that
the gas is used optimally and safely,
said ComAp.
The possibility of engine knocking
or misfiring is proactively detected and
eliminated by the InteliBifuel Denox anti-knocking module. Other vital engine
parameters are monitored to protect
the engine from any potential damage
caused by an engine defect or issues
relating to gas quality and quantity.
The InteliBifuel controller can also
deliver accelerated payback periods
on engine asset investments and protection against rising diesel fuel costs,
ComAp said. dpi

The new Euro 6 Blue Efficiency Power OM 93x
series engines for medium-duty commercial
vehicles cover a power range from 115 to 260
kW. Ultimately they will replace the MercedesBenz 900 series engines.
Launching
More Power
Mercedes-Benz introduces Blue Efficiency
Power OM 93x medium-duty engines;
heavy-duty OM 470 model
By Roberta Prandi
F
ollowing the launch of its
Euro 6 Blue Efficiency Power
engines for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, MercedesBenz has unveiled the new OM 93x
series medium-duty engines. At the
same time the company launched the
heavy-duty OM 470 engine, which will
join the OM 471 model that is already
in service in long-haul operations in
the new Mercedes-Benz Actros.
The new engines are compliant with
Euro 6 emissions standards, which are
being introduced in the EU from 2013
to 2014.
“Mercedes-Benz is once again assuming the pioneering role in environmental protection,” said Georg
Weiberg, head of Truck Product Engineering at Daimler Trucks. He added
that this approach was particularly
important for the OM 93x, as mediumduty engines are deployed primarily in
trucks and buses used in urban areas,
where reductions in emissions directly
benefit the local population.
Mercedes-Benz said the new
medium-duty engines are extremely
Diesel Progress International
economical due to their long service
lives; low consumption of fuel, urea
and engine oil; and long maintenance
intervals. Among the technological
highlights is variable valve timing,
which the company said was featured
for the first time in its diesel engines.
According to Stefan Buchner, head
of Global Powertrain, Procurement
and Manufacturing Engineering at
Daimler Trucks, the company invested
around E500 million in development
of the new Mercedes-Benz OM 934
and OM 936 engines and their production facilities in Mannheim, Germany. “This commitment has paid off.
The new OM 93x series is a milestone
among medium-duty engines and
suitable for a diverse range of applications — in trucks, buses and as an
industrial engine.”
The medium-duty OM 934 and OM
936 engines have four and six cylinders and a displacement of 5.1 and
7.7 L, respectively. They cover a power
range from 115 to 260 kW. In the long
term, the two engines will replace the
900 series launched in 1996, which
20
have a production volume to date of
almost 1 million units.
Mercedes-Benz’s heavy-duty OM
470 engine has six cylinders, a displacement of 10.7 L and spans a power range from 240 to 315 kW.
The new engines are tailored for lightto heavy-duty distribution transport
and for service in light- and mediumduty construction and long-haul transport. The OM 936 is also designed for
deployment in urban- and rural-service buses in a vertical configuration
and rural-service buses in vertical and
horizontal configurations.
Mercedes-Benz said installation in
other brands and models of Daimler
Trucks on other continents is under
way, as is the use of the four- and sixcylinder engines in off-highway applications as industrial engines. Series
production of the urban bus variants
at the Mannheim engine plant will
start soon, the company said. dpi

Technical Review
th
Twelve Months Of Pain And Gain
Year focused on meeting emissions milestones;
new engines; emissions strategies
Moteurs Baudouin launched a new common rail direct
fuel injection marine diesel engine with the 6M19.3.
By Ian Cameron
F
or manufacturers of diesel engines the past 12
months have continued to be among the most challenging, yet stimulating, periods in the history of the
industry.
While coping with the lingering effects of the extensive
economic recession, companies were also faced with dealing with the existing and forthcoming emissions regulations.
This year’s Engine Technical Review is, not surprisingly,
dominated by the strategies adopted by companies to meet
the emissions milestones and particularly the rigorous demands laid down by Stage 4/Tier 4 final legislation for 2014.
It is both impressive and satisfying to note though that
against a backdrop of economic and technical demands engine makers have achieved so much and continue to invest
expertise and hard cash into developing more environmentally friendly products.
And it is not just within the traditional heartlands of diesel engine making — Europe and North America — where
there is so much progress. Our review for this year carries
extensive news covering manufacturers in China and the
strides being made there.
Focusing within Europe there are several examples of
companies making significant strides forward. Companies
such as AGCO Sisu Power, which as well as completing a
new plant in China, is testing engines to meet Tier 4 final;
Cummins, which is investing heavily in a next-generation
Diesel Progress International
“ultra clean” aftertreatment system; Tognum, which
launched its MTU-branded agricultural 1000, 1100, 1300
and 1500 Series engines designed to meet Stage 4/Tier 4
final; and JCB, which announced plans for the development
of a new engine project for launch during 2015 building on
its current Dieselmax and Ecomax range.
Elsewhere, John Deere announced the continuation of its
“building block” approach to meet Stage 4/Tier 4 final and outlined how it would tackle emissions regulations while delivering power, ease of operation and reliability at the same time.
There was also a string of new engines aimed at the marine market, among them one from one of Europe’s less
high profile manufacturers, Moteurs Baudouin of France,
which launched a new common rail direct fuel injection marine diesel engine — the 6M19.3 — that covers a power
range from 331 to 404 kW from 1800 to 2100 r/min. The engine is electronically controlled and, according to the company, offers a lower engine noise due to a fuel pre-injection.
Further afield, the scale of production and development
work continues to gather speed. In China, Anhui Quanchai
Engine Co. announced its latest engine, the 4D22E model,
which is compliant with China 3 (the equivalent of Euro 3)
and was designed and developed for vehicle applications. The
company has worked extensively on optimizing the combustion, which has greatly improved fuel efficiency. In 2011 the
company also achieved a total output of 380 000 engines.
Changfa Group, based in Jiangsu Province, China, held
a major ceremony for a new diesel engine jointly developed
by the company. Aftertreatment is delivered using cooled
EGR, which the company said makes it compliant with China 3 emissions standards and has the potential for upgrading to the equivalent of Euro 4 and Euro 5 standards.
An impressive development was made by Hangzhou Engine Co. In conjunction with a range of partners including
Ricardo of the U.K. and Denso of Japan, it produced the
Sinotruk Euro 3 engine, which the company said “meets internationally advanced performance criteria.” It has passed
official certification and can be sold in countries that adopt
emissions regulations of the EU.
Finally, from China, Yuchai Group subsidiary Guangxi
Yuchai Machinery Co. announced the introduction of one of
China’s first prototype diesel engines compliant with Euro 6
emissions standards — the YC6L-60. dpi

AGCO Sisu Power is currently producing Stage 3b/Tier 4 interim off-road
engines in the 36.8 to 367.7 kW power
range, with displacements of 3.3 to 9.8
L. The company said customers are
reporting 10 to 15% fuel savings compared with the previous generation engines. The company has also stepped
up its engine range with the development of a new 16.8 L engine with a rated
power of 522 kW. It is the largest engine
in the Finnish manufacturer’s diesel engine family and is currently in testing with
expected production to begin in 2013.
The first applications for the new engine will be in AGCO’s largest agricultural
machinery, but the company plans to offer it for external OEM sales. AGCO said
it expects to sell the engine as Tier 4 final
compliant from the start of production.
The company is completing a new factory in Changzhou, China, where a new
sub-100 kW engine range with threeand four-cylinder engines will be produced. The medium-duty engine range
is designed for tractors and supplements
the heavy-duty engine range produced
in Finland and Brazil. AGCO is also investing in current engine plants to have
capacity for increasing engine demand.
For its full engine line, AGCO is testing
engines to meet Tier 4 final, which will
require further developed selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with high NOx conversion efficiency. In the higher end of
Diesel Progress International
the current power class, cooled exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) is also needed
for NOx reduction, but the target is to
keep exhaust circulation at a minimum to
minimize the requirement to increase the
cooling capacity. AGCO said it will also
avoid the use of a diesel particulate filter
(DPF) in its Tier 4 final engines.

The latest product from the Anhui
Quanchai Engine Co. Ltd. is the 4D22E
diesel engine, which is compliant with
the China 3 emissions standards
(equivalent to Euro 3). It has been
developed for vehicle applications, including pickups, light trucks, mini buses, SUVs and multipurpose vehicles.
The engine features a Bosch common rail fuel system, imported turbocharger and EGR technology. Development of the engine was a joint effort
between Anhui Quanchai, Elsbett of
Germany and the Shanghai Internal
Combustion Engine Research Institute.
The company said that by optimizing combustion, fuel efficiency has
been greatly improved. It added that
fuel consumption has been lowered
by more than 10% to 8.2 L per 100
km. Power has been increased by
30% while reliability is also enhanced,
Anhui Quanchai said.
The engine uses a thin-walled connecting rod cap, which has been grant24
ed a utility patent. This has the benefit
of reducing the profile of the connecting
rod cap and vibration to improve reliability. The cylinder head also adopts a new
design that optimizes the air channel
and improves air flow into the cylinder.
The 4D22E has accumulated sales of
22 100 units. In 2011, some 12 000 engines rolled off the production line.
The company has a full range of
products covering the output range
from 15 to 279 kW with bore size covering 80 to 126 mm. In 2011, the company achieved a total output of 380
000 engines. Other Euro 3 emissions
compliant engines from Quanchai include the 4D25F and 4D22F models.

New Engines
New Caterpillar three- and four-cylinder diesel engines, with displacements
of 1.5 and 2.2 L, have been introduced
and are designed to allow original
equipment manufacturers to equip machines with fuel-efficient engines that
meet EU Stage 3a/Stage 3b emissions
requirements, as well as EPA Tier 4 final. The two engines, the C1.5 and the
C2.2, provide ratings of 24 to 46 kW.
The new engines build on a base
design that delivers high power and
torque in a compact package, singleside servicing, plus a range of options
to meet individual OEM requirements.
Cat said equipment manufacturers will
require only minimal design changes to
accommodate the new engines, which
add only an aftertreatment module.
For the new 1.5 and 2.2 L engines,
the aftertreatment module will use active regeneration to periodically burn
away the particulate matter that collects in a DPF. The regeneration process, which maintains the DPF at peak
efficiency, is transparent to the equipment operator and has no adverse effect on the machine’s duty cycle, Cat
said. Periodic cleaning of ash residue
from the DPF is required, but typically
only at 3000-hour intervals, which can
equate to several years of machine operation, Cat said.
In addition, Cat said the design of the
new engines effectively controls heat
rejection, meaning that cooling requirements will not consume space within
the constraints of a small machine’s
overall layout.

of turbocharged intercooling technology,
Changfa said. With the common rail fuel
system, customers can opt for an electronically controlled pump or vertical
mechanical pump.
Aftertreatment is delivered using
cooled EGR, making the engine compliant with China 3 emissions standards (equivalent to Euro 3), and has
the potential for upgrading to China 4
and China 5 standards (equivalent to
Euro 4 and 5 standards).
The joint project was initiated in
April 2009, and in two years the engine reached the first round of prototype production. Changfa currently
manufactures a range of multicylinder engines for diverse applications
including vehicles, tractors, construction machinery, power generating sets
and marine vessels.

Technology
Cummins said its QSB6.7 achieved
its highest power output up to 231 kW
and over 1000 Nm peak torque for EU
Stage 4 and U.S. EPA Tier 4 final emissions. The company said the QSB6.7
makes no performance compromises to
meet near-zero emissions, retaining the
faster engine response and reliability
proven by the current Stage 3b and Tier
4 interim engine.
The Cummins QSB6.7 engine.
To meet the 2014 near-zero emissions regulations the engine uses the
next-generation Cummins compact
catalyst and selective catalytic reduction (CCC-SCR) aftertreatment system.
The ultra-clean CCC-SCR aftertreatment system is specifically configured
for a compact and flexible equipment installation. The Cummins compact catalyst, currently used for Stage 3b and Tier
4 interim ratings below 130 kW, is significantly smaller than a particulate filter,
offering a substantial benefit for increasingly space-constrained equipment installations, the company reported.
At Stage 3b and Tier 4 interim, this
space-saving advantage has been especially important for four-cylinder engine applications, but looking ahead
to Stage 4 and Tier 4 final, the need to
minimize space moves beyond this to
the six-cylinder 6.7 and 9 L platforms,
according to Cummins.
Also for Stage 4 and Tier 4 final, the
Cummins QSX15 engine moves up to
503 kW for heavy-duty construction
applications. This is 56 kW above the
2011 Stage 3b and Tier 4 interim top
rating. The 15 L engine uses a nextgeneration ultra-clean aftertreatment
system, combining the Cummins parcontinued on page 26

ticulate filter with SCR (CPF-SCR) to
meet the 2014 emissions limits.
According to Cummins, the CPFSCR aftertreatment raises the threshold of what can be achieved when
lowering emissions and improves fuel
efficiency by balancing emissions
control between the aftertreatment and
engine combustion with cooled EGR and
the Xtra-High Pressure Injection (XPI)
fuel system. With this higher threshold,
the QSX15 realizes both higher fuel efficiency and improved power output. The
need for machine integration flexibility at
Stage 4 and Tier 4 final is also recognized, with the CPF-SCR system available in multiple configurations, including
switchback, horizontal and vertical.
The QSB6.7 and QSX15 engines
ready for Stage 4 and Tier 4 final emissions in 2014 are almost identical to
the ones introduced to meet the 2011
Stage 3b and Tier 4 interim regulations. This ability to move forward to
meet the near-zero emissions standards is pre-designed into the existing engine platform, with no significant
change required for engine systems or
installation profile.
To meet the 2014 regulations, PM
was reduced to 0.02 g/kW-hr, and NOx
was reduced to 0.40 g/kW-hr. Compared
with Stage 3b and Tier 3 emissions levels, this represents a 90% reduction in
both PM and NOx. The near-zero emissions levels are achieved while also
improving fuel efficiency and power output, Cummins said.
At 2011 emissions levels, the QSB6.7
and QSX15 engines are capable of
achieving up to 5% improved fuel efficiency, depending on duty cycle and
machine optimization, Cummins said.
For 2014 Stage 4 and Tier 4 final efficiency improves by an additional 3 to
4%, Cummins added.

Deutz has unveiled its diesel engine
lineup for Stage 3b and 4 emissions
regulations above 56 kW.
Deutz’s 3.6 L four-cylinder inline diesel.
Six engine models will cover the
range from 56 to 520 kW. Included in
the line are the TCD 3.6 with a power
rating up to 97 kW at 2600 r/min, the
TCD 4.1 rated 120 kW at 2400 r/min,
the TCD 6.1 rated 203 kW at 2100 r/
min, the TCD 7.8 rated 276 kW at
2200 r/min, the TCD 12.0 rated 390
kW at 2100 r/min and at the top of the
range the TCD 16.0 rated 520 kW at
2100 r/min.
The TCD 3.6 is a newly developed
water-cooled four-cylinder inline
engine. This 3.6 L diesel features
heavy-duty external cooled EGR,
high-pressure common rail fuel injection and a wastegate turbocharger in charge-air and noncharge-aircooled versions.
The TCD 3.6 meets Stage 3b
emissions regulations with the addition of a DVERT oxidation catalyst.
For Stage 4, an SCR system will be
added.
The TCD 4.1, 6.1 and 7.8 models
will meet Stage 3b regulations with
an SCR system and without EGR,
while for Stage 4 it will be necessary
to adopt external cooled EGR and
a DPF.
Above 320 kW, the TCD 12.0 and
TCD 16.0 will meet Stage 4 emissions

regulations with external cooled EGR,
a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC),
DPF and SCR system.
Under the DVERT concept, Deutz
offers an array of exhaust aftertreatment components, to meet a variety
of customer and market needs. The
DVERT DOC is a fully passive system
that requires no maintenance. The
DVERT particulate filter requires filter
regeneration, and is a good solution
for those markets requiring PM counting by number, the company said.
The engine’s SCR system is an
open-flow-through system that Deutz
said offers a better fuel consumption
in comparison with using a DPF in
combination with EGR.

FPT Industrial has introduced new
Euro 6 Tector and Cursor engines.
These units preserve the fuel economy of Iveco vehicles due to optimization of the combustion with high mean
effective cylinder pressure and high
injector nozzle pressures, FPT said.
The N67 500 marine engine by FPT
Industrial.
The crankcase and cylinder head
feature increased structural rigidity,
higher coolant flow capacity and increased swept volume. The Tector and
Cursor engines both feature the latest
generation of multiple event common
rail fuel injection equipment with peak
nozzle pressures of up to 2200 bar.
A new electronic control unit has
been introduced and integrates all
engine, SCR and DPF functions. All
engines will now make use of a flaptype engine brake to support passive
DPF regeneration and to improve
engine brake performance by up to
30% compared with current Euro 5
engines, FPT said.
Thanks to the optimized combustion regime, engine-out particulate
emissions are already low, so a
forced regeneration of the DPF is
not required, FPT said. In addition,
since the engine only breathes clean
filtered air, engine wear is low and
oil change intervals have been increased to 150 000 km.
The PM emissions are brought to
the necessary levels using a full-flow
DPF that will achieve continuous regeneration due to the high exhaust
NOx levels and the high gas temperature. Forced filter regeneration will not
be necessary under normal circumstances, FPT said.

catalytic reduction system alone without EGR. FPT said that the SCR Only
system allows NOx reduction efficiencies in excess of 95%, reaching levels
very close to 100% under specific circumstances.
An efficient SCR system is mainly
achieved with the system management in which AdBlue dosing and
the thermal properties of the aftertreatment system are carefully and
precisely controlled. The SCR Only
system has new generation aftertreatment hardware as a result of research
activities by FPT Industrial, the company said.
The new generation Zeolite-based
compact SCR system integrates all
aftertreatment components in a single
box (DOC, DPF, SCR and clean-up
catalyst). The urea injection/mixing devices, as well as all exhaust gas sensors for the aftertreatment management are integrated in the same box.
The SCR Only technology has also
been approved for FPT Industrial construction and agricultural applications
without the integration of a DPF.
Also new at FPT Industrial is the integration of its new N67 500 marine
engine with the 2800 POD propulsion
drive system by ZF. The package allows
performances of a power-to-weight ratio
of 0.4 kW/km, a high specific maximum
torque of 228 Nm/L and a specific fuel
consumption of 216 g/kW-hr.

Truck Group (CNHTC) with Ricardo,
U.K.; Denso, Japan; and TNO Testing
Centre, Netherlands — the Sinotruk
Euro 3 WD615 engine features proprietary technologies and meets internationally advanced performance
29
criteria. The electronically controlled
engine adopts a common rail fuel injection system and four valves per cylinder configuration.
It has passed certification by RDW
(Vehicle Technology Information Center) in the Netherlands authorized by
the Economic Commission for Europe
(ECE), and can be sold in countries
that adopt emissions regulations of
the European Union.
The engine complies with Euro 3
standards on domestic fuels, making it
a choice for China end users, CNHTC
said. The wider crankcase, which has
been strengthened to meet Euro 3 requirements, effectively reduces vibration and noise. The common rail fuel
system lowers fuel consumption by
10%, compared with engines of the
same grades, CNHTC said. The rated
power at 2200 r/min is 247 kW.
According to the company, the engine offers a service life (on B10 fuel) of
12 000 hours (equivalent to 1 000 000
km). The main characteristics of the
WD615, such as frame structure, separate cylinder head and dry liner cylinder block have been retained. Hook-up
points of its predecessor Steyr engines
have also been retained, together with
80% common parts with the Steyr Euro
2 engine, which the company said offers interchangeability and cost savings
for both vehicle builders and end users.
By adding an extra aftertreatment
system, the engine can be upgraded
to meet Euro 4 emissions requirements, said the company.

Consisting of an exhaust filter and
SCR aftertreatment components that
are optimized and fully integrated, the
Integrated Emissions Control system
will allow John Deere engines to utilize
less diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) than alternative Stage 3b/Tier 4 interim SCR
technology solutions. Lower DEF consumption means DEF tank sizes can
be smaller — minimizing the impact
on vehicle applications, extending DEF
filter service intervals and reducing
operator involvement. Monitored and
controlled by proprietary electronics
within the John Deere enhanced engine control unit (ECU), the Integrated
Emissions Control system also provides improved fluid efficiency without
sacrificing overall performance.
To meet EU Stage 3a emissions
regulations that took effect in 2011 for
mobile generators, John Deere introduced a new complete range of generator engines covering 2.9 to 9.0 L
and 30 to 300 kVA.
Every output range is available as a
bare engine or as a complete gen-set
power unit. These preconfigured units
include a cooling system and filter kit
for simple installation and integration
into gen-set packages.
Advanced electronic controls are
designed to make it simple to switch
between frequencies on John Deere
engines. The engines operate in dual frequencies at 1500 and 1800 r/min. They
are optimized for 50 Hz at 1500 r/min to
meet European customer demands.
The redesigned PowerTech 6068SFM75 marine diesel engine has gone
into production. Offering a power
range of 186 to 298 kW in a 6.8 L
displacement, the redesigned PowerTech 6068SFM75 joined the PowerTech 6090SFM75 at 410 kW and
6135SFM75 at 559 kW to complete the
high-horsepower marine engine lineup.
The redesigned 6.8 L marine engine
is 229 mm narrower than the previous
6068SFM75 design, which offers a
more compact engine for vessels with
reduced clearances in the engine room.
The 6.8 L propulsion engine is now available, while the generator drive ratings
Diesel Progress International

will be available in late 2012. The newly
redesigned engine is a six-cylinder,
electronically controlled, turbocharged
and air-to-seawater aftercooled marine
engine that meets EU emissions requirements and EPA Marine Tier 2, and
is MARPOL Annex 6 compliant. Deere
said the engine is ideal for a variety of
applications that include commercial
fishing vessels, small work boats, sport
fishing boats and high-speed yachts.
John Deere also introduced a new
410 kW recreational vessel rating for the
6090SFM75 marine engine. This new
9.0 L marine engine is a six-cylinder,
electronically controlled, turbocharged
and air-to-seawater aftercooled marine
engine. An addition to the 6090SFM75
242 to 373 kW power options, the new
engine rating meets EU and EPA Tier
2 emissions requirements and is MARPOL Annex 6 compliant.

Kohler Engines launched a new range
of 1.9 and 2.5 L diesel engines designed
to meet EU Stage 3b and EPA Tier
4 final emissions standards. The KDI
1903TCR (42 kW) and KDI 2504TCR
(55 kW) were developed by Kohler and
its Italian partner Lombardini and are
designed to bring a range of heavy-duty
diesel technologies —
notably electronically controlled common rail fuel injection
and cooled exhaust gas recirculation —
into compact diesels. (More details on
the engines are available in the Lombardini section of this report).
Kohler Engines has also developed a
propane-fueled version of its Command
Pro engine primarily targeting commercial
zero-turn radius mowers. The Command
PRO EFI propane engine incorporates
the company’s closed loop electronic fuel
injection (EFI) technology with the ability
to operate using either gaseous or liquid
propane, the company said.
The new propane engine will be
available in the fourth quarter of 2012
as an option on Kohler’s entire Command Pro EFI commercial line, which
includes more than a dozen engines
ranging from 14 to 21.6 kW. The V-twin
engines, available in displacements of
694 cc and 747 cc and in horizontal
and vertical shaft configurations, incorporate a range of commercial-grade
features including cast iron cylinder
liners, dual element air cleaners, overhead valves and full pressure lubrication systems.
Like the Flex-Fuel Command Pro
engines introduced in 2011, the new
propane engines incorporate a Delphi
closed-loop electronic fuel injection
(EFI) system, along with component
materials engineered to withstand the
specific characteristics of propane
fuel, Kohler said.
The EFI system incorporates an array of sensors that provide constant
monitoring of the engine’s operating and
load conditions. With that information,

the system’s microprocessor control is
able to make continual adjustments to
the air/fuel ratios and other critical operating parameters, Kohler said.
Kohler has also announced a new
addition and enhancements to its Courage XT petrol engine line which targets
commercial and consumer walk-behind
mowers and utility equipment such as
tillers and pressure washers. The line
was upgraded to achieve EPA Phase 3
compliance, changed from net to gross
torque rating and the 149 cc platform
was streamlined to a more lightweight
design intended to provide easier maneuverability, Kohler said.
Design changes included a redesigned shroud, a composite cam gear
replacing a cast iron gear and new
brake assemblies that help make the
XT6.75 nearly 0.7 kg lighter than its
predecessors. In addition, the muffler
is 30% larger, which combined with the
use of composite gearing internally, results in sound emissions reductions of
approximately 1.5 dB(A) on average.
28th Annual Engine Technical Review
Other improvements include Kohler’s
Smart-Choke technology, which is engineered to manage the start process and
provide easier starting with no requirement to prime or choke the engine and
no risk of flooding; an Easy-Pull recoil
starter that incorporates a 13% larger
pulley; and the Accu-Fill fuel tank that
combines an angled filler neck with an
opening 45% larger than other engines,
which Kohler said translates to easier
filling and less spilling, reducing evaporative emissions.
Rental Program
Kohler Engines announced that it has
upgraded its Rental Partner Program
to include new opportunities for current
and new rental merchants. The program
includes Repower Rebates, which provides rental operations that replace/
repower a competitive single cylinder
engine with a new CH270, CH395 or
CH440 Command Pro engines, with a
rebate; as well as a ‘buy-one-get-onefree’ offer for new participants in the first

New Engines
Lombardini and Kohler presented
the new line of Kohler Direct Injection
(KDI) diesel engines. With three engine displacements — 1.9, 2.5, 3.4 L
— to be launched by the end of 2014,
the company is doubling its current
diesel power offering to 100 kW.
In the new KDI engines clean
combustion is achieved with a highpressure common rail system of the
latest generation, combined with an
electronically triggered EGR valve
that circulates the right amount of exhaust gases (which are liquid cooled
by a water/air heat exchanger) and
enables emissions levels to comply
with Stage 3b regulations without the
use of aftertreatment systems.
The common rail system is specifically designed for extreme durability
and resistance to the highly severe
conditions of operation that are typical of applications in the industrial and
construction sectors, Lombardini said.
The high-pressure pump operates at
2000 bar and this, combined with G3S
solenoid-type injectors, enables fuel
optimization during injection.
The electronic control unit that manages the common rail injection system
36
is also of the latest generation and provides total control of engine calibration
parameters. The CANbus system provides a direct communication interface
between the engine and the electronic
components associated with the specific application.
The KDI engines feature fourvalves per cylinder technology with
the injector in a perfectly vertical position at the very center of the combustion chamber. Lombardini said
that this solution optimizes fuel filling,
atomization and mixing with oxygen
in the chamber. Intake manifold and
combustion chamber were developed
with fluid-dynamic analysis for maximum combustion efficiency.
The Lombardini Kohler Direct Injection
(KDI) diesel engine.
The waste-gated turbocharger has
been specifically tuned to minimize
the turbo-lag response and provide
the precise volume of air for an excellent low-end torque capability, Lombardini said.
Specific oil control devices allow for
the required lubrication of the turbine
shaft for long-term durability. The use
of a charge-air cooler ensures the correct air inlet temperature for the optimal engine performance while achieving emissions compliance.
The EGR system consists of two
cooling stages that optimize heat
exchange without increasing overall
size. Also, its position on the hot side
effectively prevents the EGR valve
from jamming.
Due to the advanced injection
system no DPF is required, with the

immediate advantage of reduced external dimensions. The KDI engines
are designed to be compact while providing great performance, Lombardini
said. Power output is up to 23 kW/L
and torque up to 120 Nm/L.
Also, since no filter regeneration is
necessary, fuel consumption is effectively reduced by 3 to 5% over a solution with average 1600 bar pressure
and DPF, and more than 10% when
compared with a solution employing
indirect injection and a stand-alone
DPF, Lombardini said.
Without filter regeneration oil consumption is reduced too, due also
to a special smoothing of the cylinders with latest-generation machinery.
Maintenance intervals are increased
to 500 hours.
The cooling of recirculated exhaust
gases with resulting abatement of NOx
is not only due to the location of the EGR
valve on the hot side, but is produced
by the special path that circulating air
takes through the two cooling stages.
Also, the special geometric layout of the
intake manifold leads to uniform mixing
of air in each cylinder, which equally
distributes the NOx abatement obtained
in the previous stage.
Lombardini said that NVH analysis,
combined with a bedplate architecture
design concept, makes these engines
more rigid and thus more solid, resulting in reduced noise and vibration.
Auxiliary power take-offs are designed and located to deliver the highest
possible percentage of engine power.
The PTO turn ratio of 1:1.2 allows the
use of smaller hydraulic pumps with the
same power and it is also possible to install two hydraulic pumps in tandem.

New Engines
MAN Truck & Bus introduced new
eight- and 12-cylinder vee engines
for marine applications. The highlight
of these engines is the bedplate concept, which was applied for the first
time to a yacht engine.
The vee engines range from 662 to
1324 kW. The engines are delivered
ready for installation and designed for
optimum performance in the various
conditions of deployment and operation, the company said.
The new MAN 12-cylinder vee engine for
marine applications.
At Agritechnica 2011 the company
presented the new gas-powered E3262
LE202 engine, designed for decentralized, continuous power supply and optimized for operation with natural gas. It
enables a range of uses in combined
heat/power generation in the industrial,
trade, municipal and recreation sectors.
The E3262 LE202 is designed as
a gas-powered V12 four-stroke SI engine with a capacity of 25.78 L and is
based on the successful D2862 series. The unit features two-stage turbocharging (BiTurbo) and two-stage
cooling of the boost mixture. MAN
said its engineers used the most modern engine technology available to
move into the new power-output class
of 550 kW. Among other features, the
charge cycle has been optimized by

means of four-valve technology. The
resulting increase in power density is
reflected in an effective average pressure of more than 17 bar. For the first
time, MAN has equipped vee-block
engines with threaded attachment
points for customer-specific knock
sensors, thus broadening the engine’s
range of operation.
Sales of this engine are planned to
start at the end of 2012.
Company News
Powered by the MAN V12 D2862 engine, the Claas Jaguar harvester was
awarded “Machine of the Year 2012”
at the Agritechnica show. The new 12cylinder vee engine (see story elsewhere
in this issue) is rated 650 kW with a displacement of 24.2 L. The Claas Jaguar
is equipped with Dynamic Power control
system, which automatically reduces
the engine’s power output if full power is
not required. The electronics in the MAN
common rail engines make it possible to
implement such a control system and
provide the interface for it. This feature
by Claas adjusts the engine’s output in
the partial load range to the conditions
of operation in 10 stages, which considerably reduces fuel consumption and
cuts the costs per harvested tonne. The
diesel engine always runs in the optimum speed range around 1800 r/min.
Also new at MAN was the mid-2011
announcement that Volkswagen AG
had secured a majority stake in MAN
SE in a move that not only deepened
its alliance with Scania AB, but grew
its position as a European truck manufacturer. In September 2011 the deal
obtained EU antitrust approval.

Features of the new GS16R2 engine
include a longer piston stroke to improve
combustion performance and reduction
of heat loss; a Mitsubishi turbocharger
optimized for the new engine; fine-tuning
of the inner shape of combustion chamber, valve timing, pre-chamber volume;
and nozzle specification of the pre-chamber to keep robustness for various natural gas quality and optimization of the
compression ratio and shape of the intake duct to reduce intake pressure loss.
The company said the applied developments for increasing output were a
redesign of the inner shape of the cylinder head for reduction of maximum temperature around the combustion chamber, optimization of the piston profile and
application of the ignition timing control.
This is designed to ensure constant engine reliability and performance.
The GS16R2 engine will be delivered in a variety of conditions depending on market demands of both

New Engines
Navistar recently launched a new line
of MaxxForce brand power generation
open-power units for global markets.
The MaxxForce P family initially comprises 35 gen-set models that offer 31216 kVA standby power at 50 Hz and
40-260 kVA at 60 Hz. The line includes
units rated for non-regulated markets,
and for Tier 2 / Stage 2, and Stage 3A
emissions regulated markets.
The units are powered by 3-, 4- and
6-cylinder inline diesels, including the new
Maxxforce 4.8 diesel with mechanical direct injection, and an overall displacement
of 4.8 L. The Maxxforce 12 series engine
line will also be expanded later this year
with the debut of a 3.8 L unit.
More information on both new engines is available elsewhere in this issue.
Company News
Navistar also announced it has entered production with its MaxxForce 15
diesel. Engineered specifically for International’s Class 8 heavy-duty on-highway trucks, the MaxxForce 15 is available at ratings to 410 kW with torque as
high as 2519 Nm.
The engine is built on a foundation
of the Caterpillar C15 engine, with

proprietary Navistar air handling and
fuel systems, along with the MaxxForce Advanced EGR system.
Navistar also announced that as of
January, it has built more than 100 000
EPA 2010 compliant MaxxForce diesel
engines. The MaxxForce engine range
includes the MaxxForce 13, a 13 L diesel with outputs up to 373 kW; and the
MaxxForce I-6 engines, which cover an
overall output range from 160 to 302 kW.

Earlier this year, Navistar announced
that it will launch a range of natural gas
powered vehicles as part of a strategic
partnership with Clean Energy Fuels
Corp., which plans to establish 150
new liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling stations, approximately 70 of which
will be open in 2012.
Navistar said it will continue to offer
International DuraStar and WorkStar
vocational trucks with its natural gas
powered MaxxForce DT, developed in
conjunction with Emissions Solutions
Inc., as well as enter into a phase 2 developmental agreement with Clean Air
Power Ltd. on a MaxxForce 13 LNG engine that will utilize diesel pilot injection.

New Engines
In the last 12 months Perkins has
completed its program for meeting
the applicable U.S. and EU emissions
42
regulations for its 2012 engines in the
56 to 130 kW power band — having
most recently obtained certification of
its 854E-E34TA engine to U.S. EPA
Tier 4 interim, EU Stage 3b and CARB
emissions regulations.
The 854E-E34TA, which offers ratings from 63 to 86 kW, joins the existing
lineup of four- and six-cylinder engines
in the 1200 Series range that meet the
current emissions regulations. These include the 1204E-E44TA (60 to 110 kW),
the 1204E-E44TTA (90 to 130 kW), the
1206E-E66TA (90 to 130 kW) and the
1206E-E70TTA (130 to 225 kW).
The company also launched two
new engines for the electric power
market. The 1600 Series Electropak
family comprises a range of full-authority electronic control, turbocharged, airto-air charge-cooled engines that have
been developed to provide prime and
standby power in a clean and costeffective fashion with special emphasis
placed on improved power density, reliability and robustness.
The six-cylinder, 9.3 L range offers outputs up to 300 kVA (240 kWe)
prime power and 330 kVA (264 kWe)
standby power at 1500 r/min — both
key nodes — though the intention is to
release a 350 kVA (280 kWe) standby
version later in the year.
For OEMs and gen-set packagers
Perkins said the key benefits include
the combination of higher power density and load acceptance, which effectively means that the 1600 Series
can achieve outputs normally associated with much bigger displacement
engines, while offering a space-saving
opportunity during installation.
For more compact applications Perkins introduced a new range of its 400
Series Electropaks. Already established
as a proven source of power for gen-set
applications in regulated territories, the
new lineup is targeted at lesser and nonregulated countries.
The 400A range has been developed
to provide cost-effective power, and the
introduction of the 403A-15G2 model
is particularly significant as it meets

the all-important 15 kVA prime power
node. This key node is normally met
by using larger displacement engines,
but the improved power density of the
403A-15G2 — made possible through
mechanical governing — means it
offers the same performance, but in a
smaller package size.
There are four new engines in total,
all of which come in Electropak specifications, providing a turnkey package
for direct integration into a generating plant. The 403A-11G1 offers 9.2
kVA prime power at 1500 r/min; the
403-15G1 is rated at 13.2 kVA prime
power, slightly less than its G2 counterpart; while the larger displacement
404A-22G1 completes the lineup with
20.3 kVA prime power on tap.
The versatility of the range is further
enhanced by the ability to mechanically
switch the engine between 50 and 60
Hz according to the market requirement.
28th Annual Engine Technical Review
This reduces inventory for OEMs selling
into both markets, Perkins said.
In the field, the 400A range offers a
very competitive cost of ownership with
the option of the Extended Service Interval (ESI) package, which doubles
the service interval to 1000 hours.
OEMs and Perkins distributors
will be allowed to source all the individual components to create an oil
top-up kit that meets Perkins’ recommended specification. As long
as the kit is installed to Perkins’
standards, all warranties covered
will be unaffected.

Today, machine uptime is decisive for forestry companies’ profitability. You depend on harvesters,
forwarders, log loaders and other equipment to just keep on going. That’s why Volvo Penta engines are reliable
and safe – and a perfect match, whatever your specific application may be.
By meeting present and future environmental legislation they are also your investment in a more sustainable tomorrow.

the company. Versions are available that
meet all of today’s emissions steps.
Scania said its experience with
EGR and SCR from trucks and buses
has meant that these developments
could be applied to Scania industrial
engines as well. Clean and refined
combustion technology means stringent Stage 4 and Tier 4 regulations
can be handled without the need for a
particulate filter, said Scania.
All engines will have the same footprint, enabling the same installation
to be used, irrespective of emissions
level, significantly reducing the efforts
required from OEMs that are active on
the global market, the company added.
Scania uses the same modular engine
platform for all steps in emissions legislation, hence there is no need for global
OEMs to redesign their equipment for
Stage 2, 3 or 4 markets, Scania said.
Scania said its philosophy is to secure full control of all strategic steps
in development and performance control. All development is done in-house,
including engine management, fuel injection and emissions control systems.
Scania said its advanced engine
management and aftertreatment technologies for Euro 6, recently introduced
for trucks, formed the basis for development of the industrial engine range. The
Scania modular system is implemented
throughout the engine range, for trucks
and buses as well as all types of engines. This facilitates servicing, repairs
and parts supply, since the engines all
share the same cylinder design, featuring for instance separate cylinder heads
and replaceable liners and many of the
moving parts.
Scania said important factors in the
industrial engine segment are high uptime, generous torque at low engine
speed, good fuel economy and prompt
engine response. Key characteristics
of Scania’s new engine range are the
Scania XPI common rail fuel injection,
the revised bore and stroke that provide
improved performance and increased
swept volume. The wastegate turbocharger and increased combustion
pressure contribute to efficiency. The

use of Scania’s own engine management system enables high-precision
control of combustion and easy adaptation to different applications and operational requirements, as well as fine
regulation of exhaust aftertreatment
systems. The Scania Saver ring in the
cylinder liner prevents coke build-up at
the top of the piston, said Scania.

Research Institute of the United States
adopts the four-valves-per-cylinder configuration, which enhances air intake,
ensuring better fuel economy. Maximum
designed output is around 298 kW.
Equipped with the Denso electronically controlled high-pressure common
rail fuel system, injection pressure can
reach up to 160 bar, bringing optimum
atomization and near complete combustion, the company said. Specific
fuel consumption can be as low as190
g/kWh. Emissions control is affected
using the SCR aftertreatment system, upgrading this new variant to full
compliance with Euro 4 requirements.
The Euro 3 compliant product was first
launched in 2006. Noise is lower than
93 dB(A), SDEC said.
With a U.S.-made Jacobs in-cylinder
exhaust braking system, peak braking
power can reach up to 160 kW. This further lowers fuel cost and overall operation costs of SD9DF-powered vehicles,
making it ideal for city buses, highway
coaches and heavy truck and truck
crane applications, SDEC said.

level of flexibility, sustainability and security for the future, the company said.
The engines are based on the familiar passenger car assemblies. Customers can select from three defined sizes
for diesel and natural gas engines. Seven modules supplement the engine to
make it suitable for mobile machines
such as forklift trucks, construction machinery and similar applications.
The manufacturer of the machinery
configures the engine from variants for

electronic box as well as the choice between a static and electrical fan round
off the offerings. Using one standardized base, machinery in the future can
be equipped with diesel and natural gas
engines. Alterations will not have to be
made to the vehicle construction. In this
way, the manufacturers have both cost
and quality benefits through the use of
certified components.
The new engines have a DPF located close to the engine with a high

For over 19 kW, diesel engine technologies taken by Yanmar to comply
with the latest emissions regulations
have included the use of an ECU-controlled common rail fuel injection system, water-cooled EGR, a new intake
throttle valve and a DPF.
Yanmar’s filter regeneration is
controlled by different regeneration
patterns, selected according to the
operational period and load conditions involved. This DPF regeneration
control enables Yanmar to achieve
extremely low lube oil dilution by fuel
oil and lower fuel consumption overall,
the company said. Also, there is extended durability and longer maintenance intervals for the DPF.
Also new is Yanmar’s electronic
control diagnostics service system,
the SmartAssist- Direct (SA-D). A remotely monitored system, the SmartAssist-Remote (SA-R), confirms realtime engine running status and offers
timely technical services that will be
introduced shortly.

Sitting at an altitude of 4559 m, the
Capanna Regina Margherita hut on
the Monte Rosa Massif is the highest
installation for Visa’s 80 kVA P80C Sp
gen-set. The site is a challenging location not only for the generator, but also
for all the technicians involved.

By Roberta Prandi
A
t 4559 m altitude, the Capanna Regina Margherita hut in
the Alps is the highest refuge
in Europe and one of the highest permanent observatories in the
world, also hosting a laboratory for
scientific research.
Its location on one of the highest
peaks of the Monte Rosa Massif — the
second-highest mountain in the Alps
and in Western Europe — makes the
refuge a challenging destination for
expert alpine mountaineers. The whole
management of the hut involves some
challenges as well, such as the supply
of provisions and waste disposal.
Since 1979 the hut has been equipped
with a generator set powered by a Perkins diesel engine. In 2009 the original
gen-set was replaced by a 80 kVA genset from the Italian manufacturer Visa,
also powered by a Perkins engine.
Giancarlo Meneghini, managing director of the Italian Perkins distributor
BU Power Systems Italia, was present
at the first installation in the late 1970s.
“The gen-set was delivered by helicopter, which is obviously the only means
of transportation for heavy goods. But
the helicopter is used also for the delivery of fuel, as well as for the transportation of Visa’s and Perkins’ technicians with the necessary spare parts

The Peak Of Power
Visa gen-set provides power to Capanna Regina Margherita hut
in the Alps at an altitude of 4559 m; 80 kVA
for the usual maintenance operations.”
Visa has collected valuable experience over the years with its alpine installations. Lorenzo Barro, Visa’s CTO
and co-owner said, “For this type of
project, Visa gives its best in several
compartments, as installation, management and after-sales assistance
are very complex in such sites and every operation requires a precise and
efficient organization.
“Of course the same gen-sets that
are used in these extreme locations
are built by Visa also for our more
‘down-to-earth’ customers, so that every user in every part of the world can
count on the reliability of our products
and the quality of our service.”
Visa has been cooperating with
Perkins for about 20 years. The company supplies the Perkins range from
9 to over 2000 kW and from 1 to 60 L
displacement. “We are using Perkins
engines starting with the 400 series,
which is the preferred solution for ap52
plications in the telecommunications
market, up to 4000 series models.
“The major part of Visa’s production is
meant for stationary applications, while
we have a marginal activity in mobile
applications for which we use Stage 3a
John Deere engines — direct-injection
models up to 100 kVA and electronic
common rail units up to 300 kVA.” Barro
added that his company cooperates with
a broad range of engine manufacturers
to accommodate all customer requests.
The cooperation with Perkins serves
both companies, said Meneghini. “Visa
often performs tests with Perkins engines, and it is rather common for our
people to cooperate on application projects. Visa is the first customer for Perkins
in Italy for our Electric Power business.”
The gen-set that was installed at the
Capanna Regina Margherita on the
Monte Rosa Massif is an 80 kVA Visa
P80C Sp model with an electronically
controlled, turbocharged, four-cylinder
Perkins 1104-44TG2 diesel engine.

M
AN Truck and Bus has presented the D2862 LE 121
diesel engine for agricultural
and construction applications with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to meet EPA Tier 4
final and EU Stage 4 emissions regulations for outputs over 560 kW.
The MAN D2862 is a proven engine, especially in the agricultural market, with several OEMs using the 12cylinder engine for their machines such
as Claas in its Jaguar 980 field chopper.
The D2862 diesel engine has a
power output of 793 kW at 1800 r/min
and weighs 1820 kg. The basic engine
will remain the same for Tier 4 final
and Stage 4 regulations, adopting a
modular concept for the exhaust gas
aftertreatment with an SCR system.
“The current D2862 represents
Diesel Progress International
cutting-edge technology and is
thus the outstanding basis for the
Tier 4 final development,” said Otto
Schnitzer, vice president Engineering External Engines at MAN Truck
& Bus. “Using this almost unchanged
basic engine, we are able to achieve
emissions targets with the SCR system as a mounted solution. This enables different engine applications
for differing emissions requirements
to be realized more straightforwardly. Moreover, the system is impervious to sulphur in the fuel.”
The diesel range by MAN Truck &
Bus for industrial applications covers
outputs from 110 to 882 kW with fourand six-cylinder inline and V8 and
V12 engines, adopting various technologies. The engines incorporate a
common rail system, cooled exhaust
54
gas recirculation and a dynamic turbocharger system depending on the output class. The company also adopted
SCR and optional diesel particulate
filters (DPFs). The modular approach
in exhaust gas aftertreatment will allow MAN to cover all emissions standards and power requirements from
the different markets with identical
engine interfaces worldwide.
MAN has already gained experience
with these technologies for stringent
emissions standards thanks to its commercial vehicle applications. The company has sold over 100 000 diesel engines every year for trucks and buses
with SCR technology since 2005. dpi

for Volvo in Latin America.
According to the numbers
disclosed by the company, 25 213
trucks were sold in the region last
year, a record for the Swedish-based
manufacturer.
Roger Alm, Volvo Latin America
truck sales and marketing president,
said ongoing investments in infrastructure and agriculture were responsible for the company’s achievement.
For the third consecutive year, the
sales leader was the heavy truck model
FH 440cv, with 8203 units. “The VM
model continues to attract Brazilian
transporters,” said Reinaldo Serafim,
Volvo’s VM heavy and semi-heavy
trucks manager. “We sold 6027 units of
this vehicle in 2011.” In the previous year
VM sales were 4274 units. The commercialization of this model increased
41%, while the market in this segment
increased 18.5%, Serafim said.

Daimler Expands Sprinter
Plant In Argentina
Following the decision to introduce
the current European model of the
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter in Argentina, Mercedes-Benz Argentina S.A.,
a Daimler subsidiary, has announced
that production of the vehicle has begun at the Centro Industrial Juan Manuel Fangio plant near Buenos Aires.
At the beginning of the year the

plant began to switch production to
the Sprinter model. Manufacturing operations are being carried out in two
shifts and are proceeding at almost
full capacity, Daimler said.
The market launch of the Sprinter
is scheduled for May this year, with
the Sprinter offered primarily as a
bus model in Latin America. Daimler said the Sprinter is the flagship
model for Mercedes-Benz Vans and
is successfully exported into about
50 countries, including Brazil, South
Africa and Australia.
Mercedes-Benz Argentina has produced over 200 000 Sprinters in Buenos Aires. Around 17 000 units rolled
off the production line for sale on the
domestic market or export last year.
Volker Mornhinweg, head of
Mercedes-Benz Vans said, “In Latin
America, we want to increase our van
sales by 30% over the next five years.
The current generation of Sprinter

are imported from Beauvais, France.
Massey Ferguson said the main
goal in bringing these tractors to Brazil is to compete in the growing 200
kW and above market segment. Sugarcane production has increased in
Brazil, and might well be a market
segment Massey Ferguson will explore with these models.
Both tractors are powered by AGCO

Cat Begins Production Of
3500C Gen-Sets In Brazil
Caterpillar has announced the
launch of production of 3500C series
diesel-electric propulsion generator
set packages in Brazil. Caterpillar an-
nounced late last year that it had expanded operations in Brazil to package marine and oil and gas products
in its Piracicaba, Sao Paulo, Brazil, facility. The packages are typically used
in offshore, inland waterways, tug and
salvage, and cargo applications.
The output of the packages ranges
from 1360 to 2250 ekW. Caterpillar
also said the RBNA Classification Society has certified the 3500C dieselelectric propulsion generator set pack
ages to meet local content regulations
in Brazil. RBNA, a division of ANP, certified that the 3500C products meet
in excess of 60% local content. More
specifically, the packages contain 64%
local content.
According to Luiz Carlos Calil, Caterpillar president in Brazil, this is an
important landmark for the manufacturing expansion in Brazil. “In October
2011, we inaugurated a new plant in
Campo Largo, Paraná state, and now
we are investing in increasing our capacity in the Piracicaba plant, starting
with the enlargement of the manufacturing of generators.”
In 2001, Cat began production of
generator sets in Brazil, in Piracicaba.
In 2008, the company built a plant dedicated to this operation and in 2011 expanded to attend this new series. dpi

Regulators Appear At Odds
When It Comes To CO2
By Oliver Dixon
his month, our hero returns to
Europe to be confronted by —
in order of appearance if not
welcome — a head cold, a tax
bill and an increasing fixation with European transport legislation.
This may seem an odd mixture and
may bear some testament to the efficacy of over-the-counter cold remedies — or more probably their impact on rational thought. But a stroll
through the existing greenhouse gas
thinking as evidenced by EC legislation leads us to conclude that something is very wrong indeed at the
heart of Europe.
We know that legislation and the
trucking industry tend not to be the
best of friends. Because legislation
tends to be restrictive in nature, it’s
likely to work against commerce and
the trucking business is no exception. Legislation adds both cost and
complexity to the operational task,
and irrespective of the broader social
benefits — from a strictly profit-andloss, truck industry perspective — it’s
T
a headache. When legislation is badly
drafted, it causes problems. But when
legislation is completely contradictory,
it should cause anger.
The Clean Air Acts mandated that
the twin evils of NOX and PM be reduced. A laudable aim, as anyone who
has experienced a city under smog
conditions will be quick to agree. But
reducing NOX and PM tended to bump
up fuel consumption. Fuel consumption is — in most transport markets
— the biggest single input cost of a
trucking operation. Unsurprisingly,
truck operators found it difficult to
warm to legislation that increased it.
But the world continued to turn. Smog
kills people, and so being rid of it is
good. And Europe is now pretty free of
smog and huge sums have been spent
in terms of R&D in doing so. And huge
sums have been paid by truck buyers to
do their part. Fuel consumption came a
distant second to smog reduction.
Nowadays, smog is sooooo yesterday, and today, it’s all about CO2. In
Europe, the 20-20-20 deal builds off
the Kyoto Protocol and mandates a
20% cut in emissions of greenhouse
gases by 2020, compared with 1990

levels; a 20% increase in the share of
renewables in the energy mix; and a
20% cut in energy consumption. Truck
operators should be positively overjoyed: Here, finally, is legislation acting in synch with the trucking industry,
mandating a decrease in its biggest
single cost. Legislation and industry
with a common aim — remarkable!
However, just down the hall at the
EC, other legislators have been at
work. In the pursuit of — well, quite
honestly we know not what — perhaps some form of visual tidiness,
the EU has been keen to develop a
new system of Whole Vehicle Type
Approval, which could standardize a
maximum height of 4.0 m across Europe. Meaning that rather than carrying more products in fewer journeys,
the EC would like to see vehicle capacity reduced. We can understand
weight limits. Within reason we can
understand length limits. But we find
it very difficult to engage readily with
the notion of limiting a vehicle’s height.
We should point out that this legislation has not as yet been passed, and
to their credit a number of organizations
are fighting a fierce battle to try to ensure that it remains sidelined. The fact
remains, however, that while Europe is
signing up to the laudable aim of reducing CO2 emissions and its truck operators have a vested interest in doing likewise, its transport legislators seem mad
keen on increasing them. Go figure.

And this leads us to Euro 6, which
rolls toward the European marketplace
in January 2014. Euro 6 is, by any
sentient analysis, nuts. Why so harsh?
Leaving aside Daimler and Scania,
both of which claim there will be little
difference between Euro 5 and Euro
6 — a position that, as both have recently launched Euro 6 engines, they
might reasonably be expected to adopt
— most other observers seem to regard a fuel consumption penalty as almost inevitable. Tim Cattlin, of CAP, the
U.K.-based used pricing guide for the
HD segment, sums it up thus:
“Indications from manufacturers
suggest that, due to the additional
cooling required, cab redesigns will
be necessitated and that the transactional price increase for a new vehicle
could run into five figures. This, coupled with the predicted increase in
fuel consumption, makes a new Euro
6 vehicle a ‘challenging’ proposition
to the operator.”
Euro 6 and its attendant fuel consumption will only be measured in
time, but there seems to be at least a
significant chance that some truck operators will note a significant increase
in fuel consumption — meaning inevitably, an increase in CO2 emissions.
The already smog-free streets of
Europe will be even more smog free
though, and so it’s all good.
No it isn’t. This is genuinely scary
stuff. Legislation is there to serve society at large. We get that, and it’s not
our argument that legislation should
favor the transport industry. It is always nice to catch a break, but one
shouldn’t bank on such an eventuality.
But the EC had an opportunity here
to allow everyone to benefit from legislation. Less fuel consumption, less
CO2, more smiles all around. Remarkably, they failed to take that opportunity. Every nation has the government it deserves, so de Maistre
would have us believe. Were he to
have worked on Planet Transport during the early 21st century, we suspect
that he might have been confirmed in
his prejudices. dpi

The new Navistar MaxxForce 4.8P diesel engine for gen-set applications in unregulated
markets has a rating from 70 to 115 kVA for
standby power.
Power In
the Middle East
Navistar introduces MaxxForce 4.8P engines for power generation applications
By Roberta Prandi
N
avistar has made a commitment to the power generation market in the Middle
East and other nonregulated
countries in nearby regions with the
recent launch of a new 12 Series
MaxxForce 4.8P diesel engine for
gen-set applications. The engine follows the 7.2 model that was launched
last year in the same family.
“We are committed to the Middle
East market and we are confident in
our growth opportunities in the region,”
said Dave LaPalomento, vice president
and general manager of Navistar Global Engine. “We are making investments
in the people, products and communities in which we operate because we
see the region as a strategic growth
area for Navistar for the long term.”
The MaxxForce 4.8P is a fourcylinder inline engine with mechanical
direct injection, especially meant for
countries with no emissions regulations. It has a displacement of 4.8 L
and a bore and stroke of 105 mm x
137 mm. It features four valves per
cylinder with turbo wastegate aspiration and an intercooler.
The 4.8P is available for 50 Hz frequency and has a rated standby power output from 70 to 115 kVA. The unit
features wet and removable cylinder
liners and individual cylinder heads. It
has a ribbed engine block for reduced
noise emissions, which Navistar said
is an important characteristic for genset applications.
“The 4.8P engine is being built in
our production plant in India,” said
Elcio Reginato, business development
director Navistar Global Business Unit
in São Paulo, Brazil. “From there we
will serve the whole Middle East re-

gion and other nonregulated markets
in Asia.”
Reginato said the mechanical version of the 4.8P engine will be followed by an electronic version featuring Bosch common rail fuel injection
for emissions-regulated markets.
In addition, the 12 Series of Navistar
MaxxForce engines are being further
expanded with a new 3.1P model.
“The launch of a version with mechanical fuel injection is planned for the
end of 2012,” said Reginato. “While an
electronic fuel injection model is due
to follow after that.
“All the MaxxForce engines in
the 12 Series for gen-set applications will be manufactured either in
Navistar’s Brazil or India plant to better serve our customers worldwide.”
Reginato also said Navistar is building a new manufacturing plant in
Hefei, China.
But the commitment of Navistar toward its worldwide gen-set customers
does not stop with the manufacturing
and supply of a full line of dedicated
engines, in fact the company said
it puts a lot of importance in what is
internally referred to as development
and integration.
To this extent Navistar has founded
a fully owned company: PurePower
Technologies LLC located in Columbia,
South Carolina, U.S.A., which designs
and manufactures fuel injection components, specialty valves, metal castings and aftertreatment products.
Reginato said the support of
PurePower Technologies is critical
in Navistar’s approach to its many
market applications. “For Navistar, as
a truck and diesel engine manufacturer, the stationary market for gensets — especially in nonregulated
areas — does not really pose many
problems. The company works with
all state-of-the-art technologies to
fulfill the stringent emissions regulations for the truck market.
“Moreover, the cooperation with
PurePower Technologies allows us
to be more effective in everything we
do and assure our customers with
Diesel Progress International
full-fledged support from the system development to the integration
into a customer’s application, on- or
off-road.”
The MaxxForce line of engines
by Navistar is used in a vast array
of applications in both on- and offhighway. Its gen-set line includes

Sauer-Danfoss has introduced the KEP3 bidirectional, over-center electronic foot pedal. The
new foot pedal is designed for applications with a high
duty cycle of direction changes such as warehouse
trucks, piggyback fork trucks and other materialhandling equipment.
KEP3 Electronic Foot Pedal
Introduced By Sauer-Danfoss
E
xpanding its range of foot
pedal products and joining the
existing uni-directional KEP
foot pedal is Sauer-Danfoss’
new Plus+1 compliant model KEP3
electronic foot pedal.
The KEP3 is targeted toward vehicle
applications with a high duty cycle of
direction changes such as warehouse
trucks, piggyback fork trucks and
other material-handling equipment,
said Joseph P. Maher, Sauer-Danfoss
product marketing manager.
The new foot pedal is a bi-directional,
over-center rocker pedal used to drive
vehicles equipped with hydrostatic
transmissions and/or electronically
controlled engines.
In operation, the KEP3 typically
delivers commands to the electronic
transmission or the engine controller, where the output signal of the foot
pedal is proportional to the angle of
the foot pedal actuation.
The KEP3 model has 14° of angular
rotation forward and aft and features a
Diesel Progress International
Hall effect technology sensor — specifically designed for heavy-equipment applications. This special sensor provides
two different types of redundant signals
to fit a variety of control strategies. The
redundant sensors feature independent
isolated circuits and protection against
electrical misconnection.
“The KEP3 product also offers the
durability of a 3 million full actuation
cycle life with a wide operating temperature, IP66 sealed electronics and
the ability to withstand high static
loads,” Maher said.
The KEP3 foot pedal features redundant outputs that are designed
specifically to integrate into safety
functions to SIL 2 (Safety Integrity
Level 2 according to IEC 61508) Performance Level D (per ISO 13849-1),
including the Sauer-Danfoss H1 Automotive Control system. The pedal is
also compliant to U.S. Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards FMVSS 124
and 302.
Part of the Plus+1 family of mo62
bile machine management products,
both the KEP3 bi-directional and KEP
uni-directional foot pedals integrate
with other Sauer-Danfoss Plus+1
products. This synergy among components is structured to aid in accelerated mobile machinery development and ultimately maximizes
machine productivity and operator
comfort via a smooth, highly responsive
control system.
The Plus+1 compliance blocks enable the Sauer-Danfoss foot pedals to
be entered into the Guide programming
environment for maximum efficiency
of control system integration. All calibrations are pre-programmed into the
compliance blocks for optimum performance, eliminating the need for OEMs
to invest resources in the trial-and-error
process required to optimize performance, Sauer-Danfoss said. dpi

Dana begins production of Spicer TZL
series transmissions in China
A
lmost two years to the day from
when it first unveiled the concept at Bauma China, Dana
Holding Corp. began production of the Spicer TZL series transmission at its assembly facility in Wuxi,
Jiangsu, China. The new range of powershift gearboxes target Chinese manufacturers of premium front-end loaders.
The first unit assembled was a
TZL16 transmission engineered for
17 tonne front-end loaders, which account for about two-thirds of the frontend loaders manufactured in China
today, Dana said.
“The production of the TZL16 transmission marks a significant milestone
in our 20-year commitment to our Chinese customers,” said Aziz Aghili, president of Dana Off-Highway Driveline
Technologies. “The Chinese construction market is growing steadily, and
there is an increasing number of Chinese manufacturers pursuing global
expansion. Dana can best support this
growth opportunity with an increased
presence in both product range and inregion operational capability.”
The new Spicer TZL series powershift transmissions are four speeds
forward/three reverse gearboxes designed for 5.0 and 6.0 tonne bucket
capacity machines (ZL50 and ZL60,
using the Chinese government classifications for loaders).
The TZL units carry internal component designs from Spicer powershift transmissions already available
for the off-highway market. These
include forward and reverse clutches
with high-energy capacities, adaptive
clutch modulation and helical gearing
Diesel Progress International
designed to deliver a robust unit and
improved shift quality.
With a standard 555 mm vertical
output drop, the TZL16 transmission
incorporates a 340 mm stampedsteel single-stage torque converter,
along with two 400 Nm SAE C pump
drives with a variable pump ratio and
a wider 240 mm pump spacing, which
enables OEMs to take advantage of
optimum displacement system pumps
and hydraulic plumbing, Dana said.
The TZL16 transmission incorporates a standard SAE 2 flywheel
housing and can accommodate input
speeds up to 3000 r/min. Standard
reduction ratios are 4.351:1 (first),
2.307:1 (second), 1.135:1 (third) and
0.653:1 (fourth) and the wide ratio
spread results in high first gear tractive effort and maximum fourth gear
travel speeds, Dana said. The loadsensing shift logic also allows for
automatic kick-down from second to
first gear during bucket filling or other
activities where increased tractive effort is required. It is also designed to
prevent internal overspeed conditions
and provides complete monitoring of
system parameters such as oil temperature and clutch and lube oil pressure. Spring apply, hydraulic release
disc brakes or drum brakes are available as parking brake options.
Dana said it has begun development
on the next products in the TZL Series,
including the Spicer TZL18 transmission for 21 tonne front-end loaders and
the Spicer TMG14 transmission targeted for 110 to 160 kW motor graders.
Production of these products is expected to begin this spring in Wuxi.

Dana Holding has begun production of its new TLZ series of powershift transmissions targeted toward
wheel loaders in China.
Over the past year, Dana has also
announced several initiatives to better
support Chinese original equipment
manufacturers across all the vehicle
markets served by Dana. Last spring,
the company broke ground on a 12 000
m3 technical center in Wuxi. Scheduled
to open this summer, the new technical
center is intended to provide advanced
product and applications engineering
through research, design, development
and testing of driveline, sealing and
thermal products, including electric vehicle battery coolers.
In mid-2011, Dana increased its
stake in Dongfeng Dana Axle Co. Ltd.
(DDAC), a China-based commercialvehicle axle joint venture headquartered in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, to
50%. The primary supplier of truck axles to Dongfeng Motor Co. Ltd., DDAC
currently offers a range of truck axles
in the Chinese market, including drive,
steer, tandem and hub-reduction axles for light-, medium- and heavy-duty
trucks, as well as buses. dpi

T
he upcoming Stage 4 emissions regulations will put
even more emphasis on reduced fuel consumption
for off-highway machinery. This need goes along
with the market demand for more compact drive
systems and reduced noise level. At the same time, for
many applications, increased vehicle speed is required.
ZF’s new 2HC 85 hydrostatic transmission system is designed as an efficient answer to those requirements with a
compact and modular design for CVT operation.
The transmission system features integrated actuators
and sensors for construction machinery up to 10 tonnes
and allows continuously variable vehicle speeds of up to
50 kph without requiring additional shifting devices. Two
crankshaft radial piston motors are an integral part of the
drive unit.
ZF said the hydrostatic 2HC 85 drive makes precise maneuvering possible during loading and unloading, at full
traction throughout the entire speed range. The accelerator pedal can be used to exactly position the vehicle by
selecting the desired driving range. dpi

SENSORS
Two 250 tonne transporters were saved
from the wreck of the New Orleans harbor after hurricane Katrina. The Kinetronic rotational angle sensors and the
Rheintacho rotational speed sensors
of the transporters survived more than
a year under water.
Withstanding
Hurricane Forces
Rheintacho thumb-size Hall differential sensors survive
more than a year under water during New Orleans flooding
W
hen hurricane Katrina hit the
U.S. Gulf Coast in 2005, a
big part of the city of New
Orleans was flooded, including the harbor. Among the structures and equipment that were under
water in the harbor were two new 250
tonne special transporters. They had
been shipped from the manufacturer in
Germany and were waiting for transport
to Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia, U.S.A., which had ordered them for
the handling of ship sections.
The two transporters remained under
water for more than a year before the insurance companies settled on a course
of action. California, U.S.A.-based Sierra Equipment Co. acquired the two
transporters and tried to repair them.
Amidst the repair, it became clear
that although the mechanical and
hydraulic parts of the two machines
were still functioning — including the
diesel engines — the whole electric
and electronic circuits were damaged
beyond repair.
A full disassembly of the entire electronic control system was carried out
by the German control system manufacturer Kinemotion. The company
dismantled the whole circuit and replaced it with a plug-n-play solution for
cabling, sensors and electronics.
During this process came the unexpected discovery that not all the
Diesel Progress International
electronic components were irreplaceably damaged. The service engineers
of Kinemotion found that some of the
components had withstood the months
of being under water and dredged in
mud and were still properly working.
Still operational were the rotational angle sensors from Kinetronic — a German specialist in electronic-hydraulic
control technology for special vehicles
and sister company of Kinemotion —
and the rotational speed sensors by
German manufacturer Rheintacho.
Rheintacho’s rotational speed sensors were from the FA series, a group
of products usually utilized in heavyduty mobile hydraulics applications,
proving their resistance to harsh and
demanding conditions.
The FA series sensors are the flagship of Rheintacho’s product portfolio.
They are two-channel Hall differential
sensors for the measurement of rotational speed and direction.
The sensors in the FA series are
single-wire sealed, a feature that is
unique for rotational speed sensors,
Rheintacho said. They are also gasproof and can be certified with IP 69K
specifications upon customer request.
The FA series sensors are designed to
work in an operating temperature from
-40° to 125°C and are resistant to diesel
oil, hydraulic oil, salt and solvents.
Rheintacho sensor products are
used in a range of demanding applications, such as large diesel engines for
ships and power plants, high-speed
engines for workboats and commercial vehicles, construction machines,
mobile cranes, tanks and locomotives
as well as in any mobile hydraulic and
mobile electric drive system.
The Hall differential sensors in the
FA series have a double-flange design. Rheintacho said the same electronic design is available in the M18
size and the new M12 size.
The FA series sensors are a preferred solution by Bosch Rexroth as
Rheintacho is certified as a preferred
supplier for measuring instruments for
the Bosch group since 2010. dpi
