The company says that thanks to continuous improvements in efficiency and cutting-edge exhaust after-treatment systems, DEUTZ engines are in demand worldwide.
DEUTZ was founded in Cologne in 1864, and in 1867 the company’s founders Nicolaus August Otto and Eugen Langen developed the atmospheric gas-powered engine, known as Engine No. 1.
This was followed in 1876 by the world’s first four-stroke engine, whose German name, Ottomotor, still honours its inventor today.
“We are proud that, having built more than nine million engines, we are making a major contribution to the motorisation of the world and thereby successfully maintaining the tradition of the DEUTZ brand,” says Dr Helmut Leube, chairman of the board of management of DEUTZ.
“We intend to continue developing innovative engine systems of the highest quality in future so that we can remain a leading player in the market.”
The company says that as well as its ever-lower fuel consumption and the extremely compact dimensions of its engines, DEUTZ has also considerably reduced the level of pollutants emitted. DEUTZ engines equipped with diesel particulate filters (DPFs) that meet the most recent emissions standard reduce particulate mass emissions by more than 99%.
All DEUTZ TCD engines equipped with a DPF in the 2.9-7.8litre capacity range are said to already meet the next emissions standard for mobile machinery and equipment in Europe (EU Stage V), which is expected to apply from 2019.
