Perkins has launched a new family of 4 cylinder, 2.8 and 3.6 litre diesel engines delivering 45-100 kW (60-134 hp) at Bauma 2016. The Perkins Syncro range of common rail engines will meet multiple global emissions standards including EU Stage V and U.S EPA Tier 4 Final.

Engineered to integrate perfectly into more than 80 different machine models, the new 2.8 and 3.6 litre engines deliver the expected performance, value and reliability. The high power and torque density will give Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) the opportunity to move to smaller, more compact engines. With up to an 8 percent improvement in fuel economy during machine use, the 3.6 litre offers powers up to 100 kW (134 hp) with up to 500 Nm of torque, while the 2.8 litre turbo aftercooled variant delivers a maximum of 55 kW (74 hp) with torque of up to 325 Nm. The Perkins Syncro range benefits from a suite of technologies including a common rail fuel system, electronic control, advanced air systems and aftertreatment configurations. A 90 percent commonality in the customer interfaces between the 2.8 and 3.6 litre engines gives OEMs the freedom to determine machine platform strategies that suit their businesses and markets.

“The recent advances in fuel systems, control systems, predictive engineering and aftertreatment ensures our new 2.8 and 3.6 litre engines are the right solution for off-highway machines like wheeled loaders, tractors, telehandlers and excavators,” said product manager, Allister Dennis. “We’ve started work on this family of engines to give us and our customers plenty of development and field validation time before Stage V introduction.” The engine’s modular design ensures the 2.8 and 3.6 litre models ease of integration into existing – and future – generations of machine. Manufacturing will start on a proven production line in Peterborough, UK, and Perkins is developing the capacity to manufacture the Perkins Syncro range in facilities in the Americas and in Asia. This multi-region production capability will provide OEMs short, consistent lead times and the business stability they value. The range has flexible aftertreatment options for both displacements. “Our aftertreatment system has seen a 40 percent reduction in package size, as it benefits from the latest technologies and design principals”, said Allister.

Perkins engines line-up displayed at Bauma:
– 403D-15 – A compact 3 cylinder, 1.5 litre engine meeting Stage IIIA/Tier 4 Interim equivalent emissions standards. The perfect power solution for a wide range of small off-highway applications the engine delivers 25 kW (33.7 hp).
– 404F-E22TA – A powerful 2.2 litre engine delivering up to 50 kW (67 hp) with a maximum torque of 208 Nm. This turbocharged aftercooled model features common rail direct injection and full authority electronics, and is a proven solution for a range of compact construction machines at Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Final.
– 1204F-E44TA – Delivering 70-110 kW (94-147 hp), this 4 cylinder industrial engine meets Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emission standards. The compact nature of the 4.4 litre allows OEMs to downsize without compromising on performance, plus fuel consumption is optimised as the engine has been matched to the operating cycles of a wide range of equipment and applications.
– 1206F-E70TTA – A choice of options, engine configurations and robust technology allows OEMs to integrate the 7.1 litre, 225 kW (300 hp) engine into their equipment with minimum re-engineering. The 6 cylinder engine delivers high power density and excellent torque and meets Stage IV/Tier 4 Final.
– 1706J-E93TA – A new industrial 9.3 litre engine, the 6 cylinder is a turbocharged and aftercooled unit with direct injection and a fully electronic control system and will meet Stage V/Tier 4 Final emission standards. With a power range of 250-340 kW (335-456 hp) it’s the ideal choice for hard-working applications, particularly in construction, and delivers optimal performance in the harshest working environments.
– 2806F-E18TA – The largest Perkins industrial engine, the 6 cylinder, 18 litre delivers a substantial 597 kW (800 hp) and features on-engine aftertreatment mounting to reduce OEM installation costs. Ideally suited to heavy duty applications, the engine meets Stage V/Tier 4 Final emission standards.
