The engine manufacturer Deutz has been awarded the EU Stage V certificate for its six-cylinder TTCD 7.8 model ahead of the Agritechnica trade fair. Deutz’s powerful in-line engine is ideally suited to heavy-duty tractor applications thanks to its extremely compact design and twin turbochargers. In addition, the structural oil sump functions as part of the chassis.

The TTCD 7.8 generates a maximum torque of 1,565 Nm at 1,500 min-1. Because the engine and efficient exhaust aftertreatment are designed for optimum performance of the system as a whole, they ensure that fuel consumption and overall running costs are kept to a minimum.

In September 2017, Deutz had already become the world’s first engine manufacturer to be certified for the EU Stage V emissions standard, initially for the TTCD 6.1 and then for its TCD 3.6 and TCD 4.1 models. Under the banner ‘Our promise – Your flexibility’, the Cologne-based engine specialist is showcasing its ‘Stage V certified’ range from 12 to 18 November at Agritechnica in Hannover – the leading international trade fair for agricultural machinery, components and services. Changing from the current EU Stage IV to Stage V requires no additional installation space for the engines, thus avoiding expensive modifications to customers’ equipment. This provides Deutz customers with planning certainty and flexibility when integrating engines into their machinery.
