The V5009 engine is part of Kubota’s new 09 series

Kubota’s BUEE (Business Unit Engine Europe) is unveiling a comprehensive range of off-highway power systems.

Highlights on display include the recently launched V1505-CR-T and D902-T. Kubota will also feature its new 09 Series – which prepares to enter service in 2020 as a global engine platform – further developed for upcoming Chinese non-road emissions regulations in addition to the EPA Tier 4 and European Stage V regulations. Additionally, an evolved prototype of the new micro-hybrid engine, shown as a concept at Intermat 2018, will be showcased with the reference design.

The company says the line-up demonstrates its belief that there is no one single fuel type for the future of the off-highway equipment industry. Its long-term global business strategy has been to provide the markets with an engine platform for every fuel type and application: diesel, gasoline, liquid gas, and natural gas – with the further option of duel fuel.

Kubota will also be presenting a new pillar within its long-term business strategy: a further-developed version of the micro-hybrid prototype engine.

The company is now at European Stage V live and says it remains committed to excelling within the highly competitive global engine market. Kubota adds that it continues to invest significantly in enhancing new technologies that offer increased efficiency and optimised power systems integration.
