JCB has announced the next stage of its engine strategy with the news it has forged a partnership with a leading global manufacturer to produce engines for its compact equipment. The company has gone from a new entrant in engine manufacturing to an innovative global producer since November 2004. Since then, production has been extended to JCB India’s HQ at Ballabgarh and to date more than 250,000 engines have been produced globally. JCB went into production this year with the innovative JCB Ecomax engine, which meets EU Stage IIIB/US Tier 4 Interim emissions standards without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or external exhaust after treatment. Now the company has announced it is adopting a range of fuel-efficient Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Final engines from Kohler’s Global Power Group, for many of its compact machine lines. The water-cooled Kohler Direct Injection (KDI) engines - which will be branded JCB Diesel by Kohler - meet the next stage of emissions regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The first JCB machine to be fitted with the new engine - a JCB 35D 4x4 Teletruk - was unveiled at the RWM waste management show at the NEC in Birmingham. The Teletruk is JCB’s innovative and award-winning telescopic forklift, saving customers time and money with its ability to reach forwards, enabling single side loading and more accurate placement of loads. JCB’s Director of Engine Programmes Alan Tolley said: “The decision to partner with Kohler to develop engines for JCB compact machines was driven by the synergy in the technologies used by JCB and Kohler to achieve stringent Tier 4 Final emissions legislation. |
