Worldview
Unchained Melody
By Mike Brezonick, Waukesha, Wisconsin, U.S.A. Since the beginning of the Emissions Era, one of the most constant hopes is that at some point there would be harmonization a single set of universal exhaust emissions standards to span the globe, rendering the idea of regulated and lesser or non-regulated markets a thing of the past. Harmonization makes nothing but sense. It allows for a better use of resources of all types financial, material, intellectual. It would make life easier for manufacturers of engines, vehicles and equipment, fuel suppliers, maintenance people the list of beneficiaries is substantial, not to mention the gains in efficiency and productivity the owners and operators would see by using the latest and greatest technologies. Yet while the regulatory environment in the industrialized areas have perhaps moved closer, its become more clear than ever that at least for the foreseeable future decades and decades the idea of harmonization is something that wont happen. And thats for any number of reasons, not all of them technical. In the U.S., Europe and Japan, environmental standards, once established, are essentially cast in stone. In other regions, they have proven to be a little more malleable. The fact that were still a long way from harmony on emissions has been highlighted in recent months by the fact that several engine manufacturers have gone to great lengths to develop engines that can be either-or in an emissions sense. Engine development is costly and they wouldnt have taken that path if they didnt see a patchwork of standards remaining. You cant expect developing societies to pay too much attention to greenhouse gases when a large segment of their populations still lack houses, food or jobs. And because of that, harmonization of emissions regulations will probably remain an unwritten tune. dpi
Whos Right?
By Ian Cameron, Ashbourne, England Thirty minutes after it was revealed that Britain has plunged into the first double-dip recession since 1975 a press release arrived from the Intermat trade show organizers saying the event heralded the 2012 recovery. It was hard to get excited about the release given the gloomy economic circumstances found in many parts of the world. But the organizers of the Paris construction show remained bullish saying The 9th Intermat confirmed the recovery of the construction equipment sector, with a clear upturn in business worldwide Okay, it was a good event with more than 200 000 visitors attending. Most noticeable was the huge increase in the exhibitor numbers from China whose pavilions outside of the main halls were often breathtaking. Everywhere, it seemed, there was an equipment maker with a huge array of products on show and in many cases there was little to differentiate competing offerings. Manufacturers which, just a few years ago, were on the fringes of the equipment supply scenario were housed in monolithic temporary buildings on the showground complete with the obligatory glitzy show trimmings. For a buyer seeking a particular piece of kit there were countless OEMs able to fulfill their needs. But it begged the question who is going to buy all of this equipment? Scratch beneath the surface and it seems there are too many OEMs competing for business. Can they all continue to survive? Despite the Intermat assurances, the Construction Products Association, representing the UKs manufacturers and suppliers of construction products, recently said construction output will fall by 3% this year, will remain flat in 2013 before private sector work strengthens and drives a return to growth in 2014. Something has got to give. dpi

DAF Trucks has announced the 12.9 L PACCAR MX-13 engine for Euro 6. The engine has outputs of 300, 340 and 375 kW and incorporates exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and an active particulate filter.
DAF Gears Up
Launches 12.9 L PACCAR MX-13 engine family rated 300 to 375 kW; enters production in early 2013
By Ian Cameron
etherlands-based DAF Trucks has announced a new engine generation developed for Euro 6 emissions legislation. The company has launched a 12.9 L Euro 6 PACCAR MX-13 engine that uses common rail technology and a turbo with variable geometry. It also features exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) together with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology and an active particulate filter. According to Ron Borsboom, member of the DAF Trucks N.V. Board of Management and with responsibility for product development, a quarter of the Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, which are made by PACCAR, supplied in the United States since the summer of 2010 are equipped with the six-cylinder 12.9 L PACCAR MX engine with EPA 10 specifications. DAF Trucks N.V. is a subsidiary of American company PACCAR Inc. and has factories in Eindhoven, Netherlands and Westerlo, Belgium. The PACCAR MX-13 engine is ultra clean, said Borsboom. This engine complies with current North American legislation, which emissions values

ture that is really needed. This reduces hydraulic losses to a minimum. The common rail system of the new engine allows high injection pressures of up to 2500 bar and provides the opportunity to use preand post-injection or a combination of both, the company said. Borsboom added that this results in finer atomization and more possibilities to optimize combustion, ensuring the lowest possible emissions and noise levels, and the lowest possible fuel consumption. The highly advanced engine software and new sensors and actuators also play an important role in this respect, functioning even faster and more accurately to ensure that the best possible mixture of air, exhaust gases and
come close to those set out in Euro 6. We have therefore been able to build up vast experience of technologies we will now be applying in Europe for Euro 6, such as EGR, a variable geometry turbo and an active soot filter. We have further developed these technologies, focusing in particular on how we can best integrate them into the European vehicle configuration. A good example is the higher position of the EGR cooler, which allowed us to place the turbo closer to the block, further reducing the overall size of the engine. In addition, we will of course also be applying technologies to the Euro 6 PACCAR MX-13 engine that has recently been introduced as part of our program for Euro 5. An encapsulated exhaust manifold for even better turbo efficiency and optimized piston rings and cooling are just a few examples of these technologies. The block has been redesigned for even better stiffness and like the cylinder head it is made of strong compact graphite iron. With a view to ensuring maximum reliability and
6
durability, as many functions as possible have been integrated. For example, plumbing has been cast into the cylinder block and head and the two pump units that generate pressure in the common rail system have been integrated into the block, which means they can be actuated by the same camshaft that drives the valves. The fuel in the central pipe is supplied using smart dosing controls to ensure optimum efficiency by only compressing the amount of fuel mixjune 2012
According to DAF the Euro 6 PACCAR MX-13 engine uses common rail technology and a turbo with variable geometry, allowing the engine to benefit continuously and across its entire r/min range, with the best turbo efficiency for maximum performance.
fuel is injected at all times. This is also key in achieving maximum efficiency and low emissions, he added. According to DAF, the company claimed the main advantage of using a turbocharger with variable geometry is that the engine can benefit continuously and across its entire r/min range, with the best turbo efficiency for maximum performance. The variable geometry turbo was also required to optimize the effectiveness of exhaust gas recirculation, especially at low r/min, said Borsboom. This technology allows us to carefully set the amount of exhaust gases diverted back into the engine, which also helps fuel efficiency. To meet Euro 6, DAF is using a combination of EGR and aftertreatment technologies, such as an SCR catalytic converter and an active soot filter with the company reporting that in addition to achieving the right exhaust gas mixture, the aim was to create an optimum temperature in the filter to regenerate the collected particulate. The starting point is to allow as much passive regeneration as possible by getting the engine to create the ideal circumstances for this to happen, said Borsboom. That is why the exhaust manifold, as well as the most essential parts of the exhaust system have been encapsulated. If the temperature of the exhaust gases drops too low in any given situation, the engine will switch to active regeneration. A seventh injector, positioned behind the turbo and ahead of the soot filter, has been added to the engine for this purpose. It injects fuel into an oxidation catalytic converter in the exhaust, to generate the right amount of heat. Also the SCR catalytic converter has been optimized for temperature, said DAF, adding that thanks to its innovative coating, it is able to achieve a maximum effect across a wider range of temperatures, which means that the engine can function optimally and in the most efficient way, making sure that exhaust gases enter the SCR catalytic converter at the right temperature as much as possible.

For its Euro 6 technology DAF said it has implemented innovations in all areas. New is a single poly-V belt and a fan mounted directly on to the crankshaft without a coupling shaft which, DAF said saved on maintenance costs, improved reliability and reduced weight and fuel consumption. A larger oil sump volume also allows service intervals of 150 000 km with Euro 6. It is made of composite material to reduce weight and noise levels. The fuel filter and water separator have been combined into a single unit which is mounted directly on the engine for ease of maintenance, and the oil cooler combined with the oil filter is now made from stainless steel to increase its robustness. The Euro 6 engine enters production in early 2013, with outputs of 300, 340 and 375 kW. Ray Ashworth, managing director of U.K.-based DAF Trucks Ltd. said, This is a clear demonstration that DAF has the technology ready for Euro 6 and indeed learnt a lot from its sister product the EPA10 MX engine. Whilst that engine uses the technology platform and SCR and EGR, together with a closed type particulate filter, our new Euro 6 engine is very much more sophisticated. The integration of the aftertreatment system using over 40 sensors, 14 control units and common rail fuel injection running at 2500 bar pressures and variable geometry turbocharger technologies make this new MX13 Euro 6 engine a much more complex product development challenge. All this Euro 6 development doesnt mean weve stopped Euro 5 development. We will carry on building Euro 5 alongside Euro 6 in the coming years because DAF is a very different company to that of only five years ago. Many parts of the world remain happy with Euro 3 or Euro 5 technology including our new markets of Brazil, India and China where PACCAR has invested heavily over recent years. dpi

New dual-fuel 16 L Tier 4 interim engine targeted for applications in the oil and gas exploration markets
By Bo Svensson
olvo Penta is launching what it calls a bi-fuel engine targeted at the global oil, gas and construction industries. The fuels involved are a precision blend of natural gas and diesel fuel. Thus, the new Volvo Penta model TWG1663GE is expected to provide fuel-cost savings, high power density, along with advanced SCR to meet EPA Tier 4 interim, as well as California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions regulations. The TWG1663GE is a four-stroke, inline, six-cylinder configuration available for 1800 r/min, 60 Hz operation. With a generator efficiency of 94%, the engine can produce 559 kWe in prime power applications and 615 kWe in standby use. Mechanically, the engine can produce 595 kW for prime power and 654 kW in standby.
Volvo Penta said emissions output meets U.S. EPA and CARB Tier 4i limits, regardless of how the engine blends the two fuels. Like the complete Volvo Penta Tier 4i product range, the TWG1663GE utilizes
Volvos SCR technology to reduce NOx and particulate emissions. SCR is found in Volvo, Mack and Renault truck brands within the Volvo Group, as well as in Volvo Pentas offroad engines. Sharing the same power rating as the recently launched TWD1663GE diesel version, the TWG1663GE bi-fuel engine is a Tier 4i product
that utilizes two-stage turbocharging to provide the power density and load acceptance. Adding bi-fuel technology to this engine allows us to deliver our Tier 4i product range to industries where natural gas is plentiful and high power density is critical, said Apple. dpi

The 144 mm bore and 165 mm stroke provide the 16.1 L displacement. The compression ratio is 16.5:1. Weight is listed by Volvo Penta at 1700 kg. Volvo Penta developed the TWG1663GE with off-the-grid power generation in mind, which specifically serves the expanding U.S. oil and gas markets and the unconventional gas well stimulation industry, said Bob Apple, vice president of Volvo Pentas industrial engine business in North America. The engine is 100% Volvo Penta, with no add-on systems required. In operation, natural gas is introduced upstream of the turbochargers and an electronic air valve controls the amount of natural gas mixed. Engine compression ignites the diesel fuel, which in turn ignites the natural gas.

Fuel blending and combustion control is integrated into the Volvo Engine Management System (EMS). The Volvo Penta bi-fuel principle enables this heavy-duty diesel base engine to operate on ratios of up to 70% natural gas and 30% diesel fuel under normal loads, and slightly less natural gas during higher loads. The TWG1663GE can also run exclusively on diesel fuel. Bi-fuel technology is attractive to many industries, but bi-fuel Tier 4i power in markets where natural gas is readily available helps the U.S. aim for energy independence in an environmentally friendly way, said Apple. With the boom in natural gas recovery across the United States, the industry needs the high power capability, low operating costs and Tier 4i compliance.

CNH Expands Production in Argentina

By Mauro Belo Schneider
NH is investing US$100 million to increase its production in Cordoba, Argentina. Following a meeting with the Argentina President Cristina Kirchner, Sergio Marchionne, Fiats CEO, (Fiat is the parent company of CNH) announced the manufacturing expansion that includes three ranges of combines, two tractors, diesel engines and drapers (the platform that cuts the beans at the front part of the combine). The 40 000 m2 Cordoba plant will begin full operations by the end of this year. Sixty jobs have already been added, as the assembly of CKD combines and tractors have started at the Iveco site. We are already manufacturing these products at Ivecos plant with

Considers entering light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck engine market
By Ian Cameron
ndian engine company Greaves Cotton is examining plans to enter the truck engine market. The company has confirmed that it is considering producing engines for light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks with in a two to three year timeframe. It has also studied the prospect of manufacturing engines for the passenger car industry. Mumbai-based Greaves, the parent of German company Greaves Farymann Diesel which is located in Lampertheim, manufactures a wide range of industrial products for Indian and overseas companies including diesel and petrol engines, gen-sets, pump sets and construction equip-
The company said it is targeting both the sub-1 tonne truck market and is also examining the 2 tonne plus truck segment. Greaves Farymann engines are in the 3 to 160 kW power range and the company recently said the Farymann portfolio is being extended in cooperation with Greaves Cotton and will include three- and fourcylinder models for stationary applications, some already compliant with Tier 3 emissions regulations. In the lower power range, Greaves Farymann is working to make its single-cylinder diesel engines from 2 to 12 kW suitable for constant speed applications. dpi
pieces imported from Brazil, said Ricardo Ribeiro, CNH purchasing director in Brazil, in an exclusive interview with Diesel Progress International. When the factory is ready, we will manufacture components locally and will have Argentinean suppliers. The combines manufactured at the site will be branded New Holland or Case IH. Two types of tractors will be produced: one of medium and the other of high power, 134 kW and 149 kW. In 2014 we will accelerate the production to get into 2015 with 2500 tractors and 1500 combines being manufactured a year, Ribeiro said. CNH also has an agreement with the Argentinean government to reach 40% local content by the end of 2013, he said. Ribeiro explained that CNH decided to increase its production in Argentina because the group already has a Fiat site in the country, which manufactures Iveco trucks. We are also reactivating
13
our Fiat Powertrain plant that was deactivated since last year, he said. The decision was also accelerated because of the foreign trade policies in South America that is impacting the dispatch of ag machinery manufactured in Brazil for Argentina. We had plans to expand in Argentina for some time and it made us hurry even more, Ribeiro said. Of course there is something to do with the demand of the Argentinean government of balancing the balance of trade between the two countries. He said that the Argentinean output will serve the South American market, but Brazil will continue being served by the Curitiba (for tractors and combines) and Sococaba (combines) plants. According to Ribeiro, the expectation of the Brazilian market this year is of stability, compared to 2011. We will have a market of 65 000 agriculture continued on page 14

machines. CNH has a market share of 23% in tractors and 35% in combines. In the construction field, we have a market share of 26% and the expectation is an increase of 12 to 15% this year. Initially, CNH planned to launch two ranges of tractors and one of combines. However, after the meeting between Kirchner and Marchionne, the plan changed and the production of drapers of 4 or 5 m was confirmed. It was presented as an expansion, a second phase of the investments in Argentina, Ribeiro said. Some days before announcing the expansion of the production in Argentina, CNH also said it is going to build a new plant in Brazil, in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais State. The investment at the site was US$350 million (Rs600 million). The company intends to manufacture construction equipment at the site. A memorandum was signed in Turin, Italy. Fiat has had factories in Brazil since 1970 and manufactures both Case and New Holland Construction branded products in the country. The plant is expected to begin operation in 2014. About 2700 jobs will be generated. The total area of the complex in Montes Claros will reach 2 million m2.
Volvo Bus Introduces New Chassis Line

Volvo Bus Latin America introduced a new line of chassis in Brazil. The models will be used in eight urban and six road vehicles all powered by Volvo selective catalytic reduction (SCR) diesels to meet Proconve P7/Euro 5 rules. The new chassis will be available in 4X2 versions for the B340R and B380R models; as 6X2s the models B380R, B420R and B450R (pictured) models; and 8X2 for the models B420R and B450R. The new chassis are lighter, allowing a bigger volume of loads, and they result in an economy of up 12% in the consumption of fuel comparing to the previous models, said Jos Luis Gonalves, manager of the road bus line for Volvo Bus Latin America. The new buses also come to the market with a new suspension system, offering more stability and comfort. Further, the chassis are equipped with the I-Shift electronic gearbox and with an intelligent ABS/EBS brake system that, in an emergency sends more pressure to the wheel, increasing its efficiency. Another interesting feature is the presence of a breathalyzer called Al-
colock, which blocks the vehicle starting in case the driver presents drunkenness signs. The urban bus line also has new features including the new Ecolife automatic transmission box as well as a new acceleration control system. The Ecolife transmission reduces the fuel consumption up to 6%, Volvo said, along with other operational costs.
Uruguays Patriarca To Build In Brazil

New U-Style Hydraulic Transmission

By Bo Svensson
auer-Danfoss has introduced the LDU20 U-Style hydraulic transmission for applications such as zero-turn mowers, golf equipment, compact and sub-compact tractors, and specialty agricultural machines. Integrating a closed-circuit variable displacement piston pump with direct displacement control and a fixed motor in a single U-style housing, the compact LDU20 offers OEM equipment designers an easy-to-install package. Developed for vehicles with an external charge source, the LDU20 attaches directly to the housing of a customers transmission, eliminating hosing and piping, which is designed for space savings and simplified installation. The utilization of a common charge pump for flow to the steering or work functions offers the added benefit of reducing overall vehicle cost,
Sauer-Danfoss said. Dimensions of the LDU20 are 170 mm long, 180 mm wide and 240 mm high. The package size, performance and the installation cost of the LDU20 have been optimized to fulfill the demand of OEMs and their end users, said Toshihiro Naruse, product marketing manager for SauerDanfoss. While most shaft centerlines in the industry measure more than 100 mm, the LDU20 has a shaft centerline of 85 mm. This is the same as traditional Bantam Duty Ustyle transmissions and offers more power density. By reducing friction from the pistoncylinder block-bore interface, the LDU20 piston architecture is engineered to improve fuel efficiency, reduce oil temperature and extend oil life with an overall efficiency of approximately 80%.
16
The LDU20 design features reduced noise and vibration to ensure a comfortable working environment for the operator and is compliant with applicable noise regulations. A low operating force of a maximum 25 Nm at 2500 rpm, 300 bar, further ensures a comfortable working environment, Sauer-Danfoss said. Transmissions are often installed directly beneath where an operator is seated, where noise and operating vibration can adversely impact comfort and productivity. Operator comfort and productivity have been prioritized throughout the development process, said Naruse. A trunnion journal bearing helps reduce resonance between swash-plate vibration and the linkage of the vehicle. dpi

The new 12.7-tonne W130C wheel loader by New Holland complies with Stage 3b regulations with a 6.7-L, six-cylinder high-pressure common rail engine by FPT Industrial and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology with no need for a diesel particulate filter.
Intermat Unveilings
he Paris, France-based 2012 Intermat international construction exhibition wrapped up with more than 200,000 visitors which organizers said was a 15.8% increase over 2009. Among the new product launches announced at Intermat was a range of new Stage 3b compliant construction vehicles by New Holland. Antonio Strati, product manager of New Hollands Marketing Europe Construction Equipment, said that 90% of the New Holland range is ready for Stage 3b. The full offering will be completed by the end of 2012. For Stage 3b compliance New Holland relies on the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) solution by sister company FPT Industrial. With this solution, Stage 3b emissions standards are met without a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The company said that the optimized combustion, delivers more power with less fuel, while the cooling and oil systems are not affected. New from New Holland were the C Series crawler excavators and wheel loaders, a complete four model backhoe loader range and the compact LM625 telehandler for urban construction sites. Also on display was the next generation E140C SR short radius excavator, which will reach the markets later in the year.

Intermat was also the stage for the launch of two new vehicles by two Turkish manufacturers, stating the importance of the Parisian show for the African and Middle East markets both of key importance for Turkish companies.
Hidromek officially launched its new Gen series crawler excavators, together with the new Maestro series backhoe loaders; a range of Stage 3b vehicles featuring 4.5 L John Deere engines and ZF powershift transmissions (see more in the January and March 2012 issues of Diesel Progress International). The second Turkish manufacturer, Sanko Makina, introduced a new MST backhoe loader that complies with Stage 3b regulations. The backhoe loader is equipped with an electronically-controlled Perkins 1204E engine, NOx reduction system and diesel particulate filter (DPF). A third Turkish OEM, ukurova, was also exhibiting a selection of its excavators, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders and forklifts. Included in the display was the 880 Grande backhoe loader, equipped with a Perkins 1104D-44T turbocharged engine. Gl Nalaci, export sales director at ukurova, said the 880 Grande is a popular vehicle for low-regulated markets and over 150 units have been sold among Tunisia, Georgia and Taiwan (for the Taiwan military). New target markets for this machine are South America and Europe. Nalaci added that ukurova, a longstanding customer of Perkins engines, has started to also adopt John Deere engines for some of its vehicle models.

Engine Announcements
John Deere unveiled its engine solutions for the Stage 4 emissions regulations, making the product announcement well before the Intermat show. John Deere has introduced a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to its Stage 3b engine platform from 56 to 560 kW. John Deere said that exhaustive research and testing determined that an application-specific SCR system that is well integrated with the proven Stage 3b engine platform will be the best solution to achieve Stage 4 emissions compliance while delivering the power, performance, ease of operation, fluid efficiency, reliability and economical operating costs that customers expect from the company. Notably, the Integrated Emissions Control system by John Deere will allow the engines to utilize less urea than alternative

Stage 3b SCR solutions. Lower urea consumption will grant a smaller fluid tank and have a smaller impact on the vehicle layout, as well as longer urea filter service intervals. Also at Intermat, Deutz previewed its lineup for the Stage 4 emissions regulations. Included in the range is a four-cylinder TCD 2.9 L4 with cooled external EGR and the four-cylinder TCD 3.6 L4, a 97 kW engine which has performance comparable to that of a supercharged 4.5 L Stage 3 engine, Deutz said. Above 80 kW, Deutz offers the TCD 4.1 L4 with sealed DPF and the TCD 6.1 L6 featuring its common rail high pressure injection system. At the top of the range sits the turbocharged TCD 7.8 L6 engine with cooled external EGR and 2000 bar Deutz common rail injection, and the TCD 12.0 V6 engine featuring an electronically controlled wastegate turbocharger. Deutzs strategy for meeting the more stringent emissions regulations incorporates its the modular Dvert solution, which combines engine and exhaust gas technologies to meet the market and individual customer requirements. Also displaying Stage 4 engines was FPT Industrial, which showed its full line for construction applications, based on the F5, NEF and Cursor engine families, ranging from 40 to
500 kW. For Stage 4, FPT Industrial is using its SCR-Only technology. For packaging constraints typical for small sized industrial machines and for low displacement engines, the company said it can adopt a different approach, using a small SCR system together with light externally-cooled EGR. Showcasing a range of small-displacement diesel engines, Kohler displayed its KDI diesels with three engine models; the 1.9, 2.5 and 3.4 L, to be launched between the end of 2012 and end 2014. The new range has been developed and will be manufactured at the Lombardinis Italian headquarters in Reggio Emilia. These engines will meet Stage 3b and Stage 4 regulations with an electronically-controlled common rail system and two-stage cooled EGR, without the need of a DPF. German manufacturer Hatz introduced its new three- and four-cylinder engines at the exhibition for Stage 3b emissions regulations under 56 kW. The previous series have undergone a technical upgrade and will be fitted with DPFs. The new three-cylinder 3M43 and 3L43C engines will adopt EGR to meet Stage 3b, while the four-cylinder 4M43 and 4L43C were already featuring EGR in the previous models. The 4L42 and 4M42 engines and will only need the addition of a DPF, Hatz said. dpi

ith Intermat as its backdrop, Cummins took the wraps off the new QSF2.8 engine rated 37 to 55 kW. The 2.8 L four-cylinder engine was displayed with a fully passive Cummins Compact Catalyst aftertreatment system, designed to meet Tier 4 final and EU Stage 3b emissions regulations. The QSF2.8 is the smallest engine to be introduced by Cummins for the off-highway industry with full-authority electronic controls driving a high pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel system. The company said this capability brings the performance characteristics of larger Cummins engines to compact equipment below 56 kW for the first time. Cummins electronics drive the HPCR system to enable multiple fuel injection events with over 1600 bar capability, achieving cleaner combustion with improved fuel efficiency. The Cummins Compact Catalyst aftertreatment has been specifically developed by Cummins for Tier 4 applications as a maintenance-free, fit and forget system ideally suited for use in rental equipment. Without the catalyst, the same QSF2.8 base engine meets all other emissions requirements, including Tier 3 and Stage 3a, to provide a single, global platform for all applications. The QSF2.8 weighs 230 kg due to the sculpted design of the highstrength cast-iron block and the use of composite material for features such as the valve cover. The engine also has a rear geartrain, providing greater mounting stiffness and lower gear noise, said Cummins.
Cummins has introduced the 2.8 L four-cylinder QSF2.8 engine rated 37 to 55 kW. This is the smallest engine to be introduced by Cummins for the off-highway industry. It features full-authority electronic controls driving a high pressure common rail fuel system.
With a 37 kW output at 2500 r/min the naturally aspirated QSF2.8 provides a sufficiently low-weight and space-efficient envelope to replace engine installations down to 2.2 L in size while bringing a higher level of inherent durability, said Cummins. The engine delivers a peak torque of 160 Nm with over 80% of this available at 900 r/min for applications requiring a fast response at a low speed. For constant speed generator applications, the QSF2.8 is available with a prime power output of 40 kVA at 50 Hz and 36 kWe at 60 Hz. The compact configuration of the QSF2.8 makes the engine suitable for towable and portable units.

According to Cummins, its aftertreatment enables a smaller, easier and more flexible equipment installation than diesel particulate filters often used by many other engines below 56 kW looking to meet the Tier 4 final/ Stage 3b requirements. The catalyst is a flow-through device requiring no ash-cleaning service, no sensors, and no operational lamps in the equipment cab. dpi

Engine Unveilings From Perkins
Company launches four-cylinder 1204F and six-cylinder 1206F Stage 4/Tier 4 final engines
The 4.4 L four-cylinder 1206F-E70TA from Perkins comes in two versions; the single turbo aftercooled 1204F-E44TA that produces 110 kW and the twin turbo, aftercooled 1204F-E44TTA rated 130 kW.

mong the engine unveilings at Intermat were the new four- and six-cylinder Stage 4/Tier 4 final compliant diesels from Perkins with specially optimized selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. The 1204F, a 4.4 L four-cylinder aftercooled engine, comes in two versions. The single turbo aftercooled 1204F-E44TA produces 110 kW, which Perkins said gives improved fuel economy while offering great power and torque. The twin turbo, aftercooled model the 1204F-E44TTA offers up to 130 kW and has twin turbochargers mounted in series, for extra power density, low speed torque and faster transient response, the company said. Perkins said it has focused on minimizing the cost of transitioning machines from Stage 3b/ Tier 4 interim
to the latest regulations by maintaining a high carry over of components from the previous stage/tier. It also kept similar cooling packages and retained compact dimensions for the engine envelope, reducing the need for OEMs to undergo costly machine redesign. Both 1204F models use aftertreatment comprising a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC)/SCR module which the company said removes the need for any regeneration strategy since the formulation of particulate emissions is prevented in the combustion process. The small
22
size of the DOC/SCR module means it can be mounted in a variety of remote locations, freeing up space in the engine bay, especially in more compact equipment. Perkins also offers the option of a service-free diesel particulate filter (DPF) to meet specific OEM requirements. Perkins also took the wraps off its new range of six-cylinder Stage 4/Tier 4 final engines. At the top of the range is the twin turbo 1206F-E70TTA; a 7 L six-cylinder unit, capable of producing 225 kW. This is designed to give OEMs the choice of the same power from a
june 2012
smaller engine package, which develops 1280 Nm of torque at 1400 r/min The engine features twin turbochargers one small, one large mounted in series. Perkins said the smaller first stage turbo accelerates quickly for low speed response while the larger second stage turbo provides the high airflow required to provide optimized power density. For OEMs wanting lots of torque at low speeds the new single turbo 1206FE70TA offers up to 151 kW at 2200 r/ min with maximum torque of 870 Nm at 1400 r/min. Perkins said it has minimized the impact of the aftertreatment
required to meet Tier 4 final/Stage 4 requirements, in particular the significant reduction in NOx. It said it achieved this by packaging the DOC/DPF canister and the SCR system into one integrated module, which can be positioned remotely in a machine chassis or directly on top of the engine. The aftertreatment module includes flexible inlet and outlet options, pre-installed electronics and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) hook ups. For tight installations a fully insulated aftertreatment module is available that lowers the surface temperature. The DPF now uses passive regeneration, which is transparent to the operator and service free. Perkins said the 1206F delivers an estimated 5% better fuel consumption
23
over previous models that incorporate diesel and DEF necessary for the SCR technology. In separate announcements Perkins said it has completed its program for meeting the applicable U.S. and EU emissions regulations for its engines in the 56 to 130 kW power band, having obtained the certification of its 854EE34TA engine to Tier 4 interim/Stage 3b and CARB emissions legislation. Perkins also announced that it has expanded its range of Industrial Open Power Units with the launch of the Tier 4 interim/Stage 3b compliant 854E-E34TA. It is a 3.4 L four-cylinder, turbocharged, air-toair charge cooled unit capable of producing 74.5 kW and 420 Nm of torque at 1400 r/min. dpi

DRIVETRAIN TECHNOLOGY FOR TIER 4

gi. In some cases it is possible to reach limits of dynamic stiffness that are two and even three times greater than the static stiffness. The damping coefficient depends basically on the compound used in manufacturing of the anti-vibration mount. It is a crucial parameter that must be addressed when designing anti-vibration suspensions, he said. As for long-term behavior of the damping element, if an elastomeric element is under a static load, this load produces a progressive increase in deformation. This phenomenon may be important in a wide variety of applications, from mounts for buildings to engine mounts. This creeping effect depends on the geometry of the mount, and above all on the way the rubber is worked, Lopetegi said. Dynamic stiffness can only be established by measurement on a dynamic test bench. Similarly, the damping coefficients of compounds are further values that can be measured with this type of machine, he said. One concept that must be taken into account when designing an antivibration mount is its durability. A dynamic testing machine allows us to conduct fatigue tests that reproduce the real working conditions of the part so that its useful life can thus be predicted accurately, he added. The computing tools at AMCMecanocaucho can also generate virtual models of solid rigid multiples and study how they interact with each other and with the environment. As a result, the company can ascertain the natural frequencies of the system that are important to prevent them from coinciding with the excitation frequencies so as not to have resonance problems. The full theory on vibration insulation is available on AMC-Mecanocauchos website, www.mecanocaucho.com. dpi

Shakes Off Vibration

By Roberta Prandi
or over 40 years AMC-Mecanocaucho has been developing rubber-metal anti-vibration supports. The companys product portfolio is used in applications that include power generation, air compressors and blowers, pumps and pumping equipment, mobile equipment and marine propulsion. The AMC-Mecanocaucho Vibrabsorber is particularly used in stationary gen-sets where an isolation efficiency above 95% is a must. Typical applications include hospitals, residential areas and libraries. The Vibrabsorber design features supports made of springs, with a mechanical anchoring system for static applications that isolates low-frequency vibrations. The design also features an inverted double cone inside the spring that limits the compression of the spring in case of an unexpected overload, acting as an end-of-stroke buffer.
Vibrabsorber
The next step is test and dynamic characterization, for which AMC-Mecanocaucho utilizes its own laboratory with advanced dynamic testing equipment. AMC-Mecanocaucho has also published an interesting theory on vibration insulation. Among the topics in the analysis are the evaluation of static and dynamic stiffness, damping coefficient and long-term behavior of the damping elements. Static and dynamic stiffness comes into play as the stiffness of a rubber anti-vibration mount changes when a dynamic force is applied to it. This parameter depends on architecture, the compound used and even the frequency of excitation. Generally speaking, dynamic stiffness is always greater than static stiffness, so calculations based on static stiffness may lead to wrong conclusions, said Lopetejune 2012
Rubber-metal anti-vibration supports used in mobile and stationary applications with especially high damping requirements
The Vibrabsorber line is also available with a Sylomer mat to isolate mid-high frequency vibrations that are transmitted through the coils of metal springs. Such high and mid-range frequencies, if not isolated, can spread through the buildings or structures generating noise, the company said. Aitor Lopetegi, export manager of AMCMecanocaucho, explained the companys evaluation process for an anti-vibration projects. We calculate our anti-vibration solutions by taking into account data such as weight, mount positions, type of machine and frequency of excitation. After studying each customers specific needs for the application and the isolation performance required, AMC-Mecanocaucho can design new products according to the existing conditions, Lopetegi said.

n a move which will bolster its position in Asia, and notably in China, Swedens Scania and South Korean equipment manufacturer, Doosan Infracore, have agreed to increase their current supply deal. Starting in 2014, Scania will not only supply engines for Doosans articulated dump trucks and large wheel loaders but also other products within the Doosan range. In the long term, we are estimating delivery of well over 3000 engines annually to Doosan Infracore, said Robert Sobocki, senior vice president and head of Scania Engines. This cooperation has strengthened our position in the growing Asian market.
Doosan Infracore is already established within the Chinese market. Several models from a total of over 20 000 machines sold annually in China will be powered by Scania engines. We have tested Scanias engines in our products and they meet our expectations for reliability, outstanding performance and high fuel efficiency, said Andrew H. Choi, sourcing director at Doosan Infracore. We also appreciate Scanias modular concept. One engine platform for all emission levels is of great benefit. Scania said its industrial engines will manage Stage 4 and Tier 4 final

with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, but without a particulate filter. The newly developed engine platform is the same for all emissions levels ranging from Stage 2 to Stage 4. Scania has also recently secured other sales success in China as concrete pump manufacturer Zoomlion chose Scanias trucks as a platform for its largest concrete pumps. In addition to 375 trucks being delivered in April, the company has now ordered 435 more to be delivered before the end of June.

Scania has delivered trucks to Zoomlion since 2008 and they are fitted with Scanias six-cylinder 309 to 345 kW engines. Also in Asia, Scania announced earlier this year it is planning to invest in an industrial facility in Bangalore, India. The Scania Regional Product Centre, India, will also be the center of the companys commercial operations in the country. Scanias aim, it said, is to sell about 2000 trucks, 1000 buses and 1500 engines per year in the Indian market within the next five years. The facility is being constructed in an industrial area 40 km east of
Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka state in southern India. Production is expected to start in early 2013. It is estimated that almost 800 people will be employed at the facility in the longer term. The industrial operations will consist of final assembly of truck and bus chassis and bodywork and fitting out of complete vehicles. The head office of Scanias Indian company, a service workshop and a central parts warehouse are also being built there. dpi

REMANUFACTURING
horizontally, the head ensures uniform powder application independent of its rotation angle. In this specific application, however, the rotating head was inserted vertically into the cylinder bores via a five-axis system. One main argument for using the rotating iClad head was that, because of the sheer weight, it would be impossible to rotate a whole 700 kg diesel engine around a fixed processing head. Individually centering each cylinder was not a viable option either because of the costs involved. Kalawrytinos said the aperture diameter of the cylinder bore is 178 mm; the lower area to be coated is situated at a depth of about 340 mm and consists of a ring segment about 60 mm high. In this case, the rotating iClad head was vertically inserted into the cylinder bore and can process the entire internal surfaces at a 90 angle. The worn cylinder lining at the upper and lower dead points was to be clad with a coating thickness of more than 1 mm. This called for the cladding of a stainless-steel alloy to ensure not only the necessary wear resistance but also good corrosion resistance in acidic and alkaline environments. The worn bores were first machined to a specific dimension at the facility of LaserCo DTs customer in order to remove all traces of wear and tear and to create a smooth surface for the laser cladding. At ILT, the engine block was placed on a steel support, then aligned and adjusted. Dr. Andreas Weisheit, group manager cladding and heat treatment at ILT, and his team together with Kalawrytinos set up the rotating internal processing head. Both outside cylinder bores in the lower damaged ring segments were processed. The required coating thickness of 1 mm was achieved by applying two coatings in two overlapping rotational movements of the five-axis system. A CNC program was developed for this purpose. This proves beyond a doubt that laser cladding in cylinder bores is a technically feasible and cost-effective alternative to the purchase of replacements, said Weisheit. The coating applied with the iClad rotating internal contour processing head features excellent surface quality. Kalawrytinos sees great potential for the application of the unique head. The iClads five-axis processing capability allows precision reconditioning of worn bores at reasonable costs and in previously unheard of timeframes. We feel this is a complete success that offers ground-breaking perspectives for the repair of parts previously beyond reach or repair. dpi

lthough laser cladding is a proven technology for repairing diesel engine parts, conventional heads are not always able to reach some internal contours or blind bores. The German specialist Pallas has developed a new technique called iClad, which involves a miniaturized processing head for aperture diameters down to 26 mm and working depths up to 500 mm. Each iClad head consists of three modules: powder feed, main body and fiber plug. The working distance between head and component is just a few millimeters. Depending on the processing point, the laser beam can exit either at an angle of 30

LaserCo DTs Managing Director Hugues Desmecht asked the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT), Aachen, Germany, to carry out a feasibility study. The study was carried out in cooperation with Pallas, who originally developed iClad jointly with ILT and now markets the system. The study consisted of applying iClad laser cladding to two of the six damaged cylinder bores in an eight-cylinder diesel engine. In the new iClad, the rotary drive is integrated into the head, said Stephan Kalawrytinos, managing director at Pallas. Even when inserted

According to Weltec, in France the feed-in act ensures that the state will purchase power from biogas plants at a guaranteed price for 15 years. The company added that it is currently involved in the planning and construction of several plants ranging from 150 kW to approximately 1 MW. The company said that a particular aspect of the construction of the site is the exhaust gas heat exchanger. Normally, it said, a standard plant has an exhaust gas temperature of around 180 to 200C after the heat
exchanger. However on this site Weltec said it wanted to use the maximum amount of thermal energy for the dryer and therefore installed an exhaust gas heat exchanger with an exhaust gas temperature of 120C which increased the thermal output of the plant from 553 to 590 kW. Weltec was one of the first manufacturers of biogas plants. The company said because hydrogen sulphide and ammonia compounds contained in biogas corrode unprotected parts it builds the fermenters from stainless steel which, it added, ensures a longer life. The company added it believed there is currently a growing interest for the development of biogas plants and expanding markets are Eastern Europe, Italy, France, England and Asia. dpi

For the transmission, Iturri decided to couple the Bremach drop-box with double final reduction, to a five-speed Allison Series 1000 automatic transmission. Iturri said the resulting 10 gears, together with Allisons torque converter, ensure a greater acceleration when starting and precise maneuverability with any terrain even on very reduced speeds. Angelo Adriano, marketing manager of Bremach, said the reasons for choosing Allison transmission on the Lynx were, self-lock differential and an automatic transmission with torque converter do greatly simplify the drivers life. With such a drive system, the firefighter can concentrate on driving, said Adriano. The driver does not need to worry about the transmission and differential, which is something usually offered only on much bigger and more expensive trucks. Iturri is currently carrying out a presentation tour with a series of test drives in France and Spain. Customers can try the Lynx in special off-road tracks, on 10, 30 and 50% gradients to test upward start and stop, on rough terrains and in narrow spaces. dpi

New fire-fighting and rescue vehicle by Spanish manufacturer developed with Italian 4x4 manufacturer Bremach
In The Wild
turri, a Spanish manufacturer of fire-fighting vehicles and other safety equipment, has launched a new fire-fighting and emergency vehicle: the Lynx. The new truck has been developed in cooperation with Bremach an Italian manufacturer of 4x4 vehicles. The Lynx is based on Bremachs T-Rex truck chassis. The T-Rex vehicle by Bremach has a flexible structure design with space frame cab technology derived directly from the automotive market. The cab design has a crushproof tubular cell with integrated roll-bar,
which makes the T-Rex applicable not only for emergency operations, but also for snow plowing, waste collection, earthmoving and other utility applications. With a width of only 1800 mm, a total weight of 6.0 tonnes and 4x4 drive, the T-Rex can reach the most impervious locations and access the most narrow spaces; it can also move on rail tracks, the company said. To this chassis, Iturri mounts a 2000 L water tank and a fire pump with 1000 L/min capacity. The company said the large capacity of the tank is achieved due to the use of

he first in its new generation of large wheel loaders powered by a Scania SCR engine meeting Stage 3b emissions regulations, has been launched by Doosan Infracore Construction Equipment. The company has introduced the DL450-3 model, which it said combines high engine power output with new ZF transmissions and several other features to minimize fuel consumption as well as providing performance benefits. With a bucket capacity of 4.5 m3, the DL450-3 is expected to meet a range of material-handling needs from loading and transporting granular material (such as sand and gravel) to industrial, mining and quarrying applications. The new DL450-3 model is powered by a 13.0 L Scania model DC13 SCR six-cylinder diesel engine delivering a maximum power output of 264 kW at 1800 r/min. According to Doosan, several features of the loader have been developed to optimize fuel efficiency. It claimed that SCR technology reduces fuel consumption by about 10%. Resale is

tion to machine performance in real time, allowing the operator to select the driving profile for the best fuel efficiency, the company added. Doosan said the new ZF five-speed transmission improves the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels and contributes significantly to the overall reduction in fuel consumption. The change from four to five gears provides better response and acceleration, especially on slopes. Engine speed variation is less thanks to smaller gear steps, and lower engine speed throughout the whole drive range reduces fuel consumption, the company said. Due to higher shift quality, Doosan added that noise levels are lower while driving performance and productivity have been increased. A lock-up-clutch also helps reduce fuel consumption, it added. Also new is the use of ZF limited slip Type II differential axles. Rolling resistance for the axles is also reduced, improving traction and decreasing fuel consumption.

also better, as it is easy to reset to Stage 2 engines for use in emerging markets, the company added. The company said this machine is sold in Europe through the Doosan network of dealers. Doosan said the DL450-3 is being introduced for use in both European and North American markets although the standard European machine is different to that in the U.S. The loader has three engine working modes: Eco, Normal and Power, to adapt the machine to different applications, with different engine speeds and gear steps according to the working mode engaged. With the Power-Up function, the operator can manually adjust to the next highest working mode by applying a full stroke of the accelerator pedal, Doosan said. With this function, the operator can travel in moderate Normal mode and switch to Power mode when it is really needed, such as when taking material from a pile. This capability helps to reduce fuel consumption, Doosan said. The Eco bar provides information about fuel consumption in relajune 2012
As an option, customers can choose ZF axles with a hydraulic differential lock. This function is engaged via the operator pedal or in automatic mode, depending on the torque resistance in first and second gear. Doosan said the advantage of the hydraulic lock system is that it has less rolling resistance compared with the limited slip system. The Concentric fan on the AKG radiator is hydraulically driven and controlled by an ECU. Changing the fan direction for cleaning the radiator can be done manually from the cab, without having to switch off the engine. Fan reverse intervals (30 minutes to two hours) can be set via the menu. The operator can set a password for machine start. If auto idle is activated, engine speed goes down about 200 r/min after 10 seconds if there is no machine movement. Doosan said auto idle is ideal for applications with long waiting times, such as truck loading, and could reduce fuel consumption by as much as 8%. The loaders primarily have Bosch Rexroth load-sensing controlled, variable hydraulic piston pumps, which the company said can also improve performance and reduce fuel consumption. With load sensing, the hydraulic pumps receive a signal from the Parker MCV informing how much oil is needed helping to save on engine performance. With the clutch cut-off system engaged, the driver can disconnect the transmission from the engine by operating the brake pedal, to have 100% engine performance for the hydraulic system. As a result, Doosan said, movements are faster, breakout force is maximized and fuel consumption is reduced. The DL450-3 and other new-generation Doosan large wheel loaders are equipped with a ZF torque converter cut-off (TCCO) system, which when activated, is switched on automatically. This provides a direct mechanical connection between the engine and transmission without loss of power and torque by the torque converter. According to Doosan, tests show that fuel consumption is up to 10% lower with increased traction compared with conventional systems. The TCCO can be engaged in second to fifth gear, not just in the highest gear, making the TCCO more efficient, the company said. dpi

new range of power distribution modules by the Italian manufacturer MTA has recently entered series production. The range is especially meant for agricultural applications, where power distribution modules in IP67 protection class are in increasing demand among manufacturers, not only for exterior use but also for installation inside the cab. The IP67 classification ensures total protection against the penetration of solid objects and dust, as well as immersion in water up to 1 m deep for 30 minutes. Thus MTA said it developed a fuse/relay module complying with the stringent waterproofing requirements and with a modular design concept. The new MTA modules can accommodate 280 mini fuses and/or micro relays, all connected to MTA F280 terminals. In this particular version, the terminals are equipped with a grom-
met that ensures proper sealing and a secondary lock, the company said. Module sealing is provided by a silicone radial gasket placed between the module and its cover. MTA added that, in order to offer the utmost freedom of configuration, layouts comprising only relays or only fuses are also possible, and the module can be combined with other similar modules using its four fastening points. Headquartered in Codogno, near Milan, MTA is a global manufacturer of electronic and electro-mechanical components for the off-highway, automotive and motorsports industries. Founded in 1954, MTA has two production plants in Italy (Codogno and Concordia), five offshore operations and has an annual turnover of $160 million. dpi

This also explores the potential to extend the long-term cooperation with a joint development of the next generation of medium-duty engines for off-road applications. The memorandum of understanding also aims at analyzing the conditions for establishing a Deutz majority-owned joint-venture company in China for the production of mediumduty engines for off-road applications. The production company is intended to provide support for the Volvo Groups anticipated growth in off-road applications in Asia. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) and Shanghai Diesel Engine Co. Ltd. (SDEC) have entered into a joint venture agreement to manufacture and market diesel engines in China. The new venture, called Shanghai MHI Engine Co. Ltd., is scheduled to begin manufacturing and marketing in December of this year. Shanghai MHI Engine will be capitalized at approximately US$30 million, with ownership to be divided equally between MHI and SDEC. The new company will be headquartered in Shanghai and will target annual sales of approximately US$120 million in the first few years and intends to boost this figure to US$240 million thereafter, the companies said. The JV will manufacture industrial diesel engines rated 500 to 1600 kW under a manufacturing and marketing license from MHI. The JVs procureDiesel Progress International
ment, marketing and aftersale service will utilize SDECs domestic network. Cummins Inc. has signed an agreement to acquire the assets associated with the emissions control products of Hilite International, Marktheidenfeld, Germany. Hilites selective catalytic reduction (SCR) doser technology will become part of Cummins Emission Solutions (CES), allowing Cummins to serve all major market applications with their own doser. The purchase price was not disclosed and the acquisition, expected to close in the third quarter of 2012, is subject to German regulatory approval. Manitowoc announced it will sell Potain top-slewing cranes direct to customers in the U.K. market. The agreement covers all cranes in the manufacturers MD top-slewing, MDT topless, MCT topless city and MR luffing jib ranges. Manitowoc will serve the U.K. market from its centrally-located offices in Gawcott, just outside Buckingham. The announcement to sell topslewing cranes directly follows the decision earlier this year to appoint Ladybird Crane Group as distributor to sell Potain self-erecting cranes exclusively in the U.K. Combined, the two new developments means there are more staff, resources and support dedicated to the Potain brand in the U.K. for the company. Navistar International Corp. and Anhui Jianghuai Automobile (JAC) have signed letters of intent to commercialize light- and medium-duty trucks in Brazil. Through these potential opportunities, JAC would export certain light- and medium-duty

cabover commercial trucks to complement the existing medium- and heavy-duty conventional trucks sold under Navistars International truck brand in those markets. According to Navistars South America CEO Waldey Sanchez, the partnership will enable International Trucks to increase its portfolio of truck models in the region. We have an ongoing partnership with JAC to produce MaxxForce diesel engines and this new agreement adds further collaboration between our companies, said Sanchez. This agreement will result in new business opportunities for Navistars International truck dealer network in Brazil, boosting our product portfolio with new truck models. Forklift manufacturer Crown Equipment Corp. has announced further expansion in the European market with its first company-owned branch location and administrative offices in Spain. The facilities represent an effort by the company to firmly establish direct sales and service operation to support growing customer demand in the country. The new Madrid office will coordinate all business activities within Spain. It will also serve as a technical and sales support center for the companys rapidly expanding customer support network across the country. The office location will work closely with the new company-owned branch in Valencia to establish and maintain an in-country team of factory-trained technicians. Initially, the technicians will cover locations including Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Zaragoza, Murcia and San Sebastian with further expansion planned. dpi
