The new 13.6litre diesel from John Deere Power Systems is said to combine performance with economy

John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) claims Stage V compliance for key models in its engine range. This includes its variable-speed engine families below 56kW and above 130kW as well as its constant speed engine families. The Industrial Stage V line-up from John Deere now offers ratings from 36kW to more than 500 kW, with displacements of 2.9litres up to the new 13.6litre unit.

The Stage V technologies used on these engines are said to be dependable and reliable, as well as being able to coper with the tough construction environment. Key features are said to include increased uptime and low operating costs. The firm’s new Stage V aftertreatment technologies are said to be optimised for flexible integration and several offer reduced packaging and weight from previous Stage IV solutions. Because the technologies are built on the same engine platform as current Stage IV solutions, the need for OEMs to re-engineer due to hardware or mounting changes is reduced.
