Perkins Syncro 3.6 litre engine

Perkins is showcasing its complete Stage V engine range, future technologies and aftermarket services and digital solutions. Choice and customer collaboration, providing the right solutions for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will be central themes, as Perkins exhibits its widest choice of engines for today and for the future.

Five engines meeting the latest Stage V emissions standards will highlight the Perkins 0.5 to 18 litre (4 -597kW) engine range, said to be the most comprehensive product range offered by an off-highway diesel engine manufacturer. Perkins will complement the range by showcasing a further three engines highlighting future hybrid offerings.

Matt Coleman, Perkins product director said: “For construction machines, it’s not sufficient to simply carry over hybrid or electric technologies from other sectors such as truck, automobiles or marine. The duty cycles, operating conditions and packaging constraints for off-highway machines drive the need for specific configurations that are highly customised to the individual application.”

The hybrid-electric, hybrid-mechanical and hybrid-hydraulic power technologies, coupled with Perkins existing range of diesel engines, ensures the company can supply OEMs and their customers with machines that are more productive, quieter and have lower fuel consumption, whatever power solution they select.
