The first Liebherr FAT 325 electric
travel drive has been tested in
the Remax 1111 mobile crushing
plant by Austrias SBM.
A NEW
DRIVE OPTION
Liebherr Components develops electric drivetrain for crawler and tracked vehicles
L
iebherr Components has expanded its portfolio of
travel drive systems with the development of its first
electric drive system. The FAT 325 electric travel
drive is a first for the company, which previously of-
fered only hydraulically operated travel drives.
Liebherr said that the new system takes into account the
increasing demand for electrically powered crawler and
tracked vehicles. It also addresses environmental con-
cerns, since electric travel drives need neither hydraulic
lines nor hydraulic oil.
In cooperation with Austrian customer SBM Mineral
Processing GmbH, part of MFL Group, the first electric trav-
el drives have been put into operation in mobile processing
equipment. SBM is a supplier of complete processing and
handling systems for the raw materials and recycling indus-
tries, as well as concrete mixing plants for ready-mix and
precast concrete.
Liebherr said that an essential part of the cooperation
with SBM was the engineering of each component. The
gearboxes, electric motors and inverters are all specifi-
cally tailored to crawler-mounted mobile applications.
Liebherr delivered the first individual components last
June and installed them into SBMs Remax 1111 mobile
crushing plant. The component solution was checked
and put into operation following various tests, including
turning on a 30 slope.
According to Liebherr, among the special features of this
configuration was the design of the motors windings, as
DIESEL PROGRESS INTERNATIONAL 4 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017
SEE IT @
well as the rotor design with permanent magnet technology.
Liebherr said the design ensures a high torque output from
an extremely compact envelope, allowing for tailor-made
placement of the drivetrain in the confined space conditions
of the machine.
The gearboxs design also ensures uniform load distribu-
tion across the individual stages and thus, a high power and
torque density in the transmission, Liebherr said. The main
bearing is implemented as an integral design.
Using IP67 rated designs and durable sealing systems,
the entire drive is protected from environmental influences,
such as dust and water in normal operation. At the same
time, Liebherr said each system is optimally adapted to its
specific environmental conditions. This was crucial for SBM
in selecting its component supplier.
Our crushers are used worldwide in extreme environ-
mental conditions, such as high temperatures, coarse dirt
and dust, said Hermann Almer, division manager Mobile
Applications at SBM. That is why we like to work with com-
panies who know from their own experience how these
conditions affect the technology and components.
Based on the positive results achieved in the first project,
SBM and Liebherr said they now have their sights set on fit-
ting Liebherrs electric travel drives into other machines. dpi

BIGGER AND BRIGHTER
IS BETTER FOR HED
Vehicle control specialist launches new, larger multifunction display for vehicles and equipment
BY MIKE BREZONICK
W
hen it comes to visibility, bigger and brighter is
nearly always better. And thats the fundamental
thought behind the new 257 mm color display and
operator interface recently launched by HED, Inc.
The CL-712 display is also capable of showing video
and graphical displays simultaneously, saving dashboard
space in off-highway vehicles, according to the Hartford,
Wisconsin, USA-headquartered manufacturer.
This is really in line with the trends weve seen in the
markets we serve, said John Kitzerow, product manager at
HED. Once they start putting displays into the vehicles and
find out what theyre capable of and see the acceptance by
their customers and end users, they just come up with ideas
about more things to put on the displays. The more they
want to put on, the bigger the screen they need to put on.
It allows them to reduce the amount of clutter on the
dashboard by incorporating more onto the display. So it
might be bigger and cost little more, but youll save space
and cost by eliminating other gauges and things that could
be put onto the display.
Like other HED products, the CL-712 display incorporates
a dual processor design, with an 800 MHz Cortex A8 ARM
processor to handle the LCD display and a separate micro-
controller to handle the real-time I/O control and CAN inter-
face responsibilities. The ARM processor has 8 GB flash and
512 MB RAM for video and graphic intensive applications.
DIESEL PROGRESS INTERNATIONAL 6 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017

HEDs new CL-712 is a 257 mm
color display and operator interface
designed to provide graphical infor-
mation and video capability in off-
highway vehicles and equipment.
A lot of displays on the market have one processor driv-
ing the LCD and any CAN communication or I/O thats in the
display, Kitzerow said. The larger the display, the more pix-
els, the more time and effort it takes of the processor to con-
trol the LCD. In some cases, youre talking millions of pixels.
Then if you add CAN communications, if the display
needs to talk to the transmission controller, the engine
controller and all the other controllers on the vehicle, it can
have a hard time keeping up. Then either the LCD refresh
suffers and you can see it glitching or not keeping up to
speed or the gauge can look kind of jerky or delayed. Or
youre missing CAN messages or when you push a button
to turn on an output, it doesnt turn on right away.
HED uses a separate processor that handles all the
CAN and I/O and one processor just for the LCD. They are
each doing their own things, so neither suffers.
The CL-712 display is available in four versions mas-
ter and client, touchscreen and no-touchscreen and in-
corporates four-channel video capabilities for multicamera
applications. With two CAN ports, it can accommodate as
many as nine inputs and four outputs and a real-time clock
with internal battery provides up to 15 years of operating
life, the company said.
The LCD display screen utilizes in-plane switching (IPS)
technology that makes it readable from a wide range of
continued on page 8

positions and light conditions, Kitzerow said. The IPS
makes it viewable from about any angle Kitzerow said.
Fifteen years ago, you could only look at an LCD from one
direction, like 6 oclock or 12 oclock. If you were looking
at it any other way, it didnt look nearly as good and some-
times, it would even be blacked out and you couldnt see it.
With the IPS technology, you can look at it just about all
the way around 85. You can see it from any which way
and its 1000 nit brightness too, so the brightness is also
better than it used to be.
The CL-712 display can be operated through rubber but-
tons finished with abrasion- and UV-resistant coating and an
optional touch screen with five-wire resistive glass-film-glass
(GFG) construction is available for enhanced durability and
performance in wet or gloved usage, the company said.
The rubber membrane buttons can be used to ma-
nipulate the screens displayed and you can also change
the screens by status of sensors and switches on the
vehicle, Kitzerow said. So for example, if the driver puts
the transmission into reverse, whatever is on the screen
goes away and you have the rearview camera showing,
he said. It doesnt have to be activated by someone
The new CL-712 (right) joins 109 and 178 mm display
modules in the HED line.

The CL-712 display is designed
to be broadly programmable
and with its dual processor de-
sign, is engineered to provide
both graphic information and
video simultaneously.
pushing a button. Kitzerow added that the size of the
257 mm screen also made it possible to have both video
such as the rearview camera and graphics be dis-
played simultaneously.
But there are buttons you can program using our
Arranger drag-and-drop programming tool to program it
yourself and tell it what to do, he said. There is also the
touchscreen option so that you can use a touchscreen to do
what you want to do.
The unit is packaged within an IP67 and IP69K-rated
sealed enclosure that is designed to withstand interior or
exterior mounting configurations. The CL-712 displays are
available for immediate purchase or sample evaluation, the
company said.
The CL-712 display will be shown in booth S84219 at the
upcoming ConExpo-Con/Agg show in Las Vegas, Nevada,
USA, where the company will also be launching a range of
new telematics products. dpi

BY DAVID PHILLIPS

I
n the mature construction equipment markets of Western
Europe, North America, Japan and China, compact equip-
ment and specifically mini excavators have seen growing
application and sales. In contrast, demand for mini exca-
vators in India has to date remained very small indeed.
In 2015 the mini excavator market stood at 48 173 units
in Europe, 39 000 in Japan, 16 550 in China and 28 500 in
North America. In that same period sales in India were a
mere 583 units.
The first mini excavators were introduced into India in
1996 when Ingersoll-Rand India imported 10 Bobcat ma-
chines. Despite a strong promotional campaign it was able
to sell only a few of them. By the end of 2000, sales had
risen to 75 units, but dropped to 25 units in 2002 and de-
clined further to 12 units in 2003 and 2004. The total mini
excavators sold annually increased to 22 units in 2005 and
continued at the same level in 2006 and 2007.
The market has seen an upward trend in demand since
2008, with 64 units being sold that year and 73 units in
2009. Sales grew further to 89 units in 2010 and expanded
by 140% to reach 215 units in 2011. Demand increased
by 69% to 363 units in 2012 and witnessed a rise of 24%
to 449 units in 2013. The trend continued and the industry
grew 24% to 556 units in 2014 and peaked at 583 units
with a further 5% rise in 2015. Its interesting to note that
although the market for almost all types of construction
equipment declined during 2012-2015, demand for mini
excavators bucked the trend and rose strongly every year,
modest though the overall numbers may be.
Bobcat, LiuGong, Tata Hitachi and Yanmar were the only
suppliers offering mini excavator models in the country un-
til 2012. As the market started to expand, other suppliers,
sensing a business opportunity, also launched their ma-
chines. JCB introduced its 16.4 kW JS30 model in 2013

and was joined by Kubotas 20.1 kW U30-5 in the same
year. In 2014, Hyundai also started offering its R27Z-9
model of mini excavator followed by Wacker Neuson and
Sany in 2015. The latest entrants to the growing mini exca-
vator market in 2016 are Takeuchi and Doosan.
Tata Hitachi, best known for its production of crawler
excavators, is the only mini excavator manufacturer in the
country. It began production of the 2.2 tonne TMX20 model
in 1996 and launched the Zaxis 50 model, which has an
operating weight of 4.8 tonnes, in early 2012.
In addition to its locally produced models, Tata Hitachi
in 2015 introduced the imported Zaxis 33U model that has
an operating weight of 3.5 tonnes. The company has tradi-
tionally dominated the mini excavator market, with its share
ranging between 81 to 93% until 2012. However, its share
dropped to 74% in 2013, 67% in 2014 and further to a low of
57% in 2015, as more suppliers entered the market.
Yanmars share peaked at 16% in 2015 with sales of 93
units to remain the second largest supplier in the country.
Kubota launched its U30-5 model in 2013 and sold eight
units during that year. Its market share peaked at 16% in 2015.
Bobcat introduced its E32 excavator in 2012, which
complemented its existing 1.5 tonne MX418. The company
expanded its product range further with the introduction of
2.6 tonne E26 in November. Its market share almost qua-
drupled from 2% in 2012 to 7% in 2013, and peaked at 10%
in 2014 with sales of 58 units. However, both sales and
market share declined to 48 units and 8% in 2015.
JCB launched its mini excavator, the JS30 imported from
the U.K., in 2013 and managed to sell 17 units in its first
year. Sales increased to 24 units in 2014, representing 4%
share of the mini excavator market, but declined in 2015
to 14 units with a 2% share. Wacker Neuson entered the
market with the launch of its 1.7 tonne E17 model and 3.5
tonne 3503 model in late 2015 and sold four units in the
year. LiuGong sold one of its CLG906D units in 2013.
Off-Highway Research is bullish about the growth of the mini
excavator market in the country and projects it to finish 2016
with 750 units and reach a level of 1100 units by 2020. dpi

SAILING AHEAD
OF TIER 3
Scania prepared for implementation of newest
IMO emissions regulations on a more global basis
BY BO SVENSSON
S
canias new marine engine range is based on an
exhaust gas aftertreatment system developed in-
house. The system reduces the emissions of nitrogen
oxides. By already meeting the IMO Tier 3 emission
requirements, the company said it represents the cutting-edge
environmental aspect of Scanias marine solutions.
In anticipation of a wider adoption of the tough new IMO
emissions regulations demands for marine engines in areas
outside the North American and the U.S. Caribbean Emis-
sions Control areas introduced earlier this year, Scania has
already tried and tested new marine engine solutions that
comply with the more stringent limits.
Under the IMO Tier 3 regulations that took effect in
January, the limit for nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions ranges
from 1.96 to 3.4 g/kWh, depending on the engines maximum
operating speed. This new limit is a significant reduction
from the Tier 2 range of 7.7 to 14.4 g/kWh.
To reach these new emission levels, an exhaust gas af-
tertreatment system is necessary for our engine sizes, said
Mats Fanspets, manager for Marine Classification at Scania
Engines. Scania has considerable experience of exhaust

erage NOx level for the two 13 L engines

gas aftertreatment systems and our Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) system is a tried and tested technology. It
has been used both in engines for trucks and industrial ap-
plications. The NOx limit for Euro 6 trucks and Tier 4/Stage
4 industrial applications is 0.40 g/kWh, which is comfortably
within the new marine emissions requirements.
As a part of its existing modular system, Scanias IMO
Tier 3-compliant engine solutions have been developed
for applications such as auxiliary engines in convention-
ally installed marine generator sets or in a diesel-electric
setup for cargo vessels operating in international waters.
The solutions also work with propulsion engines, as well
as auxiliary and propulsion engines for vessels operating
on inland waterways with low emissions requirements.
Scanias range of existing 13 and 16 L marine base en-
gines, are all equipped with Scanias SCR aftertreatment
systems. The engines can be either two-circuit keel cooled
one circuit for the charge air-cooling and one circuit for
the cooling of the engine or it can be equipped with a
heat exchanger for cooling of the engine only.

Scania, for its marine engine range, has prepared itself
for the eventuality of the tougher IMO emissions require-
ments taking effect also outside the North American and
US Caribbean Emissions Control Areas.
For propulsion, five 13 L engines in the range of 257 to
405 kW are available. For auxiliary services, five 13 L engines
ranging from 269 to 426 kW and four 16 L engines in the
430 to 596 kW range are offered. All engines are equipped

Since the summer of 2015, two Scania DI13Ms meeting IMO Tier 3 have been tested in a 300-passenger ferry, Silverpilen,
operating in the Stockholm archipelago. Over the time of the field test the average NOx level for the two engines was
1.8 g/kWh. The annual NOx emissions from the vessels new IMO Tier 3 engines will be reduced 77% compared with the

system, designed to deliver the right amount of fuel at the
right instant with precisely the right pressure. Combustion in
each cylinder is individually controlled to minimize fuel con-
sumption as well as harmful emissions, Scania said.
To achieve an approved installation of Scanias 13 and
16 L engines for marine applications, Scania offers instal-
lation recommendations on the dimensions and lengths of
piping, the cables needed and the parts needed for the af-
tertreatment system. This includes the SCR catalyst, a cus-
tomized exhaust system, an evaporator for mixing urea and
exhaust gas, and a three-way safety valve, all of which are
engineered to provide a total solution for marine applications.
Since the summer of 2015, two Scania DI13M engines
meeting IMO Tier 3 have been tested in the 300-passenger
ferry, Silverpilen, operating in the Stockholm archipelago.
Over the time of the field test the average NOx level for the
two engines has been 1.8 g/kWh. Consequently, the annual
NOx emissions from the vessels new IMO Tier 3 engines
will be 680 kg. This represents a 77% reduction compared
with the earlier 2320 kg NOx emitted from the Tier 2 engines
earlier operated, Scania said. (Beside the two new Tier 3
engines, there remains one Scania DI12 IMO Tier 2 engine.)
Scanias Tier 3-compliant engines have the same foot-
print as the current engine range, Fanspets said. So when
upgrading from an existing Scania installation, theres no
need to rebuild the engine bed. dpi

HYDROGEN DOUBLE-DECKER FOR LONDON
... FPTS NEXT-GEN SCR ... BYD IN HUNGARY
... IMO CONFIRMS DATES
London Mayor Sadiq Khan recently unveiled what is
claimed to be worlds first double-decker hydrogen bus
as he committed to phasing out purchasing new diesel bus-
es for the city.
Khan said that no more pure diesel double-deck buses
would be added to the capitals fleet after 2018 and that all-
new, single-deck buses for central London would be zero-
emissions vehicles.
The new hydrogen double-decker will be trialed on Lon-
dons roads this year. It is built by U.K. bus manufacturer
Wrightbus and forms part of the mayors plan to transform
the citys bus fleet by phasing out the oldest and most pol-
luting diesel buses and making the entire fleet ultralow or
zero emissions.
Eleven other major cities including New York, New
York, USA; Los Angeles and San Francisco, California,
USA; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Copenhagen, Denmark;
and Cape Town, South Africa have moved to begin
phase-out of diesel bus procurement by the end of 2020.
In addition, Paris, France; Madrid, Spain; and Mexico City,
Mexico, have committed to removing diesel buses from
their cities by 2025, according to the mayors office.
London has committed to procuring roughly 300 zero-
emissions buses by 2020, with 51 battery electric buses
recently going into service, taking the number of completely
electric bus routes to three, with 79 zero-emissions buses
in the fleet.
Italian company FPT Industrial said that to comply with
Stage 5 emissions regulations all engines above 4 L would
use HI-eSCR2, the second generation of the companys
High Efficiency Selective Catalytic Reduction (HI-eSCR)
aftertreatment technology.
To meet Stage 5s particle mass and particle count re-
quirements, the second-generation HI-eSCR system has
an integrated particle filter on the SCR, which, the com-
pany said, provides a compact solution with no dimension
increase versus current Stage 4.
When considering the engine, its cooling and after-
treatment system FPT claimed its solution is 10% smaller
than the competitor average (6 L, six-cylinder engine com-
petitors). FPTs solution, with up to 20 different layouts
available for each power node, is engineered to avoid ad-
ditional redesign efforts from the vehicle manufacturer. The
newly integrated particle filter does not require active re-
DIESEL PROGRESS INTERNATIONAL 18 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017
generation and for fluid consumption the engine has 3%
lower fluid consumption versus the market average using
EGR and with active regeneration, the company said.
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD said produc-
tion will start shortly at its new assembly plant in the north-
ern Hungarian city of Komrom. The plant will eventually
employ up to 300 people and be capable of assembling up
to 400 vehicles a year on two shifts.
BYD will initially produce a range of emissions-free elec-
tric buses and forklift trucks at Komrom. However, the
Hungarian subsidiarys name BYD Electric Bus & Truck
Hungary Kft suggests further products in the future. No
further details were revealed about future plans. The site,
which began production in January, also has its own re-
search and development center and battery test facility.
Volvo is supplying four Volvo 7900 Electric buses to
public transport operator Sales-Lentz in Luxembourg. The
buses will operate in the city of Differdange.
Sales-Lentz was the first company to buy Volvo hybrid
buses in Europe as early as 2009, Volvo said. Today, they
have 24 Volvo hybrids and 12 Volvo electric hybrids in their
fleet, according to the company.
The buses were sold as a turnkey solution, Volvo said,
with the bus maker responsible for vehicle servicing, in-
cluding battery maintenance, for a fixed monthly cost. The
buses are expected to go into service in the second quarter.
Omnitek Engineering Corp., a USA-based developer of
proprietary diesel-to-natural gas conversion systems, has
signed a contract with a European customer to develop a
heavy-duty, 13 L natural gas engine for Class 8 trucks and
certify the engine to Euro 6 emissions standards. The de-
velopment contract also includes a multiyear supply agree-
ment for its proprietary components.
The new engine will be rated 355 kW and will initially be
utilized to power a fleet of approximately 1000 new Class 8
trucks, scheduled to commence service this year.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has up-
held the Jan. 1, 2020 implementation date for the next stage
reduction in the sulfur content of fuel used globally by ships.
The decision to implement a global sulfur cap of 0.50% (m/m)
in 2020 was taken by the IMO after a review concluded there
would be no issues surrounding availability of compliant fuel
in 2020. The current global sulfur limit in marine fuels, effec-
tive from Jan. 1, 2012, is 3.5% (m/m). dpi

CUMMINS AIMS
TO CONNECT
New C Command Connect system designed to monitor multiple marine engines
C
ummins has launched a new control and moni-
toring panel designed to allow marine operators
to simultaneously monitor multiple engines. The
new C Command Connect is an extension of the
companys C Command product line and is designed for
Cummins Quantum Series QSB6.7, QSC8.3, QSL9 and
QSM11 marine engines.
The new system is intended to cover a power range
from approximately 171 to 533 kW which covers the
QSB, QSC, QSL and QSM engine platforms and has
the capability to expand into the QSK19 line, which ranges
to 596 kW, in the future, the company said.
At launch, the system will be available in basic system
(C Command Connect) and premium system (C Command
Connect Premiere) configurations. Both will be offered at
a lower cost than the control options currently offered on
these engines, according to Cummins.
Cummins said the C Command system is a modular se-
lection of instrumentation and control panels aimed at help-
ing marine operators protect and enhance engine operation
and manage operating costs. Each element is designed for
complete integration with the engine and for simplified vessel
installation, with plug-and-play capability, the company said.
All components of the C Command system are intended
for use in harsh marine environments, so enclosures are
built to combat vessel vibration, humidity and ambient con-
ditions in the engine room and at the helm, Cummins said.
Each display is configurable and allows for flexible data
presentation. During development, Cummins said that ad-
ditional focus was placed on designing panels that are
readable in variable lighting conditions.

An extension of the C Command product line, C Command
Connect is a panel system designed for Cummins Quantum
Series QSB6.7, QSC8.3, QSL9 and QSM11 marine engines.
C Command Connect leverages existing engine capabili-
ties and throttle-shift systems, including third-party systems,
to enable the upfitting of existing boat designs. Like the elec-
tronic control module (ECM) on Cummins QSB6.7, QSC8.3,
QSL9 and QSM11 marine engines, C Command Connect uti-
lizes J1939 communications protocols to allow full access to
engine data and fault information, said Cummins.
The system supports J1939 and N2K data interfaces to
allow operators using the Cummins ED4 display panel or
third-party gauges and displays to utilize remote monitor-
ing. Operators can simultaneously monitor multiple engines
at multiple display locations, said Cummins.
Like the original C Command system, designed for
Cummins Quantum Series QSK19, QSK38, QSK50 and
QSK60 engines, the C Command Connect systems use
a customer interface box (CIB) to centralize vessel con-
nections. The basic and premium applications include all
harnessing, user interfaces, an optional ED-4 display panel
with an 88.9 mm color display, with N2K gateway capabil-
ity for remote monitoring. The basic system also includes
manual start/stop at the helm.
C Command Connect Premiere provides additional func-
tionality and monitoring. It includes a CIB with integrated ED-4
display panel, N2K output and alarm indication to the helm.
Vessel sensor capability allows operators to monitor fuel level,
gear oil pressure and temperature and rudder angle. The
panel system is covered by a standard two-year warranty. dpi

CrossControl launches new platform of I/O products

rossControl has launched a new platform of input/
output (I/O) control products with highly configu-
rable software designed to allow OEMs and sys-
tem designers to build modular control systems
able to accommodate optional features and variations
across a wide range of mobile equipment segments.
CrossControl has developed and produced I/O con-
trollers since the early days of the CAN technology and
electronic controls, said Magnus Wijk, global product
line manager at CrossControl. The product portfolio has
always been focused on ultra-rugged devices with great
flexibility in sensor and actuator connectivity.
CrossFire SX and IX are the first products out in a new

line of controllers, meeting the needs for general ma-
chine control functionality in a broad range of applications.
Examples are construction equipment, agricultural vehicles
and utility trucks.
CrossControl, a business within Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
USA-headquartered Actuant Corp., said the new platform
represents an ongoing evolution of controller technology
for industrial vehicles. It proves, the company said, how
software configurability and modularity creates systems,
which are easier to manage, more flexible, scalable and
less costly.
In early electronic control systems, I/O controller hard-
ware was highly customized for a certain function. With this
The CrossFire IX I/O slave has 18 con-
figurable I/O channels. It offers optional
data storage capabilities and a WI-FI in-
terface, which can be used for connect-
ing a smartphone to the system, for pre-
sentation of system information locally
and for transferring production data to
the cloud.

CrossControl said both CrossFire SX and IX incorporate the same, sturdy mechanical design concept with a reinforced
nylon enclosure and AMP connectors for fast installation. The design is sealed to IP66 and IP67 rating. The tripod
mounting concept is intended to enable it to be mounted to any surface, whether curved or flat.
approach, the hardware was specific and optimized to fit
technically and economically for the task. However,
the inputs were locked for a specific sensor or the output
drive for a specific actuator, such as a hydraulic valve with
certain characteristics. The downside with this approach
is the lack of flexibility to adopt changes regardless of
whether the change is driven by end-of-life on an included
component or improved product functionality.
Hardware changes tend to have long lead times and typi-
cally require retesting at the very least functional test-
ing, but sometimes recertifying testing. This can also lead
to increased system complexity, with added part numbers.
A different aspect of control system design is distribu-
tion. The use of a big, central controller is still very com-
mon, Wijk said. This means complex wire harnesses and
most people we talk to in the industry acknowledge, that
wiring faults is a major contributor to machine malfunction
and standstills. Not to mention the cost of those wire har-
nesses and the time to install!
There are many merits in moving controller hardware
closer to the controlled functions, Wijk said. Besides a
more dependable and affordable wiring solution, the use of
a highly configurable controller means that the same con-
troller hardware can be applied for the different functions.
This modularity reduces complexity and simplifies spare
parts management; just load the spare part controller with
the software for the task and you are good to go. The new
CrossFire controller platform has been developed to enable
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system de-
signers to build such modular systems.
The CrossFire SX I/O controller has 40 I/O channels,
which the company said could be configured for virtually
any sensor typically used in mobile machines such as ag-
ricultural and construction equipment. On the output side,
it incorporates advanced hydraulic control drives, dc motor
and linear actuator drives, as well as drives for LED lighting.
It comes with CANopen and J1939 for easy integration in
equipment CAN networks.
DIESEL PROGRESS INTERNATIONAL 23 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017

I/O configuration and application programming is done
with CodeSys, a soft PLC system that is widely adopted in
the industrial vehicle control market. CrossFire SX is freely
configurable as master, slave or smart slave, the compa-
ny said. In the smart slave configuration, a slave can be
programmed with CodeSys to perform closed loop control
tasks. The I/O flexibility and configurability as master or
slave means that CrossFire SX can be applied for different
controller jobs in a system and it enables design of a modu-
lar, distributed system, CrossControl said.
The CrossFire IX is a compact I/O slave with 18 I/O chan-
nels, offering an affordable addition of I/O channels, when
the task does not require the larger CrossFire SX, the com-
pany said. It also features optional data storage capabilities
and a WI-FI interface that can be used for such things as
connecting a smartphone to the system, for presentation of
system information locally and for transferring production
data to the cloud.
CrossControl said both the CrossFire SX and IX in-
corporate same, sturdy mechanical design concept with
a reinforced nylon enclosure and AMP connectors de-
signed to allow fast installation. The design is sealed to
IP66 and IP67 rating and the tripod mounting concept en-
ables the product to be mounted to any surface, whether
curved or flat.
CrossControl was originally a Swedish private compa-
ny, acquired by Actuant in 2012, said Mats Kjellberg, head
of Global Marketing at CrossControl. Since the acquisi-
tion, the CrossControl business has appeared under the
brand maximatecc together with Actuants businesses in
instrumentation cluster and gauge products. Since October

K
omatsu Europe International N.V has introduced
two new excavators into the European market.
The company said the new PC210NLC-11 and
PC230NHD-11 machines are designed to offer a
range of enhanced features.
Both excavators have Stage 4-compliant, water-cooled
Komatsu SAA6D107E-3 diesel engines producing 123 kW
at 2000 r/min. The turbocharged, six-cylinder engines have
a bore and stroke of 107 x 124 mm and an overall dis-
placement of 6.69 L.
Komatsu said both machines offer an average of 15%
improved fuel efficiency compared to previous models.
The excavators also offer up to 28% higher lifting perfor-
mance over their predecessors. The operating weights for
the PC210NLC-11 are between 22 400 and 23 030 kg and
23 520 kg for the PC230NHD-11.
According to the company, one of the key features for
both machines is a new BorgWarner viscous clutch mecha-
nism that is designed to vary the speed of the cooling fan
to match the cooling required. The system not only saves
fuel by only operating the engine fan as needed, but noise
emissions are also reduced, said Komatsu product man-

 WHAT WELL SEE AT
CONEXPO-CON/AGG & IFPE

Editors Note: Once every three years, the off-highway equipment and technology world comes to North America for
ConExpo-Con/Agg & IFPE. Visitors to the show in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, will see the latest in engine, hydraulic
and power transmission technology and how its applied in new construction and mining machinery. And while well
be reviewing the news of the show in our May digital issue, heres a brief glimpse of some of what will be on display.

Stage 5 Ready Diesels From John Deere
As part of its exhibit at ConExpo-Con/Agg, John Deere
Power Systems (JDPS) is announcing its lineup of die-
sel engines to meet the recently implemented European
Union (EU) Stage 5 emissions regulations. Leveraging new
catalyst technologies, emissions control calibrations and
next-generation aftertreatment solutions, John Deere Pow-
erTech engines will deliver greater package flexibility and
offer easier installation over previous John Deere engines,
JDPS said.
engines includes displacements of 2.9, 4.5, 6.8, 9.0 and
13.5 L with ratings of 35 to 441 kW.
JDPS said original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
would benefit from product improvements and advance-
ments being made to retain the same engine performance
in a reduced package size. John Deere said it achieved
reduced package sizes with next generation aftertreatment
solutions that provide up to a 39% reduction in size and are
57% lighter.
Stage 5 emissions levels for engines in the 18 to 551 kW
power band will likely force manufacturers to use DPF tech-
nology, and John Deere said it has been employing DPF
technology since Interim Tier 4/Stage 3b and has more than
425 million hours of field experience. The company said it
could leverage its extensive experience with the develop-
ment and integration of DPF technology in both John Deere
and OEM equipment through Interim Tier 4/Stage 3b and
Tier 4 final/Stage 4 implementation for OEMs facing Stage 5.
For OEM customers developing applications not impact-
ed by Stage 5 regulations, John Deere will also exhibit its
modular Integrated Emissions Control system in various
configurations.
See John Deere Power Systems at booth S83816.

Omni Channel organization. All of which heralds a major
new strategic initiative that will take the Peoria, Ill., USA,
manufacturer into the consumer outdoor power equip-
ment markets and beyond.
The public debut of the Omni Channel organization
comes after a two-year gestation period that resulted in the
launch of the RP Series of portable generators. But the gen-
sets are apparently only a starting point.
According to Tony McAllister, channel development man-
ager, in 2017 Omni Channel will unveil other product lines
to broaden the home and outdoor power space.
And, after that, stay tuned, as there is apparently more
maybe a lot more to come.
There will be an expansion in this category of products
and channels from Caterpillar going forward and that is
what Omni Channel was created to do, McAllister said.
Omni Channel, part of Caterpillars newly formed Marketing
& Digital Division, also brings a new distribution model to
Cat for these new and future products. Apparently the name
was not chosen by accident.
Omni Channel is a new organizational designation
within Caterpillar, McAllister said. It comes from the
development of this project where we have developed a
strategy of using multiple channels to take these consum-
er-type products to customers. We are developing omni
channels for specific products for Caterpillar, starting with
the portable generator sets.
The strategy here is about the product. Caterpillar obvi-
ously builds generator sets for the industrial and commer-
cial markets, so this is an adjacent space were entering.
Its a natural fit.
Many of the customers we already know, rental fleets,
building contractors, contractors in general. A large por-
tion of the buyers of portable gen-sets in the two areas we
are targeting initially, North America (U.S., Canada and
Puerto Rico in this case) and Europe, are already custom-
ers of the type of products Caterpillar provides and are
well aware of Caterpillar.
McAllister said the distribution model starts with
Caterpillar dealers who can choose to sell or service the
line of outdoor power products, depending on specific
territory needs.
But the other half of the customer equation is the general
public, and its here where the Omni Channel approach gets
interesting. McAllister said that while many of the contracts
for additional distribution channels are still being negotiat-
ed, they are all retail based and would fall under terms like
big box, as well as contractors, wholesalers, and e-tailers.

There are prime product channel sales and there will also
be an authorized service network where they may not be
selling products, but will be able to offer aftermarket service.
As part of all this, Caterpillar is announcing a new brand
called Cat Home & Outdoor Power establishes a new dis-
tribution identity for businesses that join the new service
network. The new trademark will be rolled out on in-store
signage, displays, clothing and service trucks to identify au-
thorized sales & service centers that provide maintenance
and repairs for the new outdoors power products.
In some cases the seller of the product will not be pro-
viding service and in some cases the service provider will
not be selling the original product, McAllister said. The ap-
proach of sales versus service locations will be based on
the strengths and capabilities of the channel partner, which
is different from Caterpillars typical approach to its markets.
As far as the details of the RP Series of gen-sets, there
are four models in the initial U.S. and Canadian offering
3.6, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5 kW with a 12 kW model to follow
in early 2017. European 50 Hz markets will see the three
smaller generators in 2017. The model designations reflect
the running power output RP3600, RP5500, RP6500 E
(E for electric start), RP7500 E and soon the RP12000 E.
For Europe, three models will introduced under the same RP
Series name at 2.5, 3.1 and 4.4 kW. Eventually the portable
generator line will be extended into other series of product.
A team of Caterpillar engineers and industrial designers
based in Mossville, Ill., USA, and Belfast, Northern Ireland,
designed the sets. The sets will be contract manufactured
by Rato Power Manufacturing Co. in China.

POWER GENERATION
The initial product launch of Cats
Omni Channel group is the RP se-
ries of portable, petrol-powered
gen-sets. There are four models in
the initial US and Canadian offering
3.6, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5 kW with a
12 kW model to follow in early 2017.
We did a lot of research and visited a number of com-
panies in China, McAllister said. Rato wasnt necessarily
the lowest cost manufacturer, but its the one we felt best
mirrored our design and quality assurance philosophies,
as well as quality production standards that matched
Caterpillar standards. Its not just a supplier agreement
they are a manufacturing and design partner.
McAllister said a huge amount of research went into
not only the product design, but into the total customer
experience, pre-sales through aftersales. A lot of work
has gone into determining the right product features to
go into the product, because we see consumers and con-
tractors as equal opportunities, McAllister said. Plus,
we have a very good pre-sales and aftersales setup for
the residential customer experience, combined with our
connection to the contractors.
As far as the features of the new RP generator sets,
Nick Kelsch, Omni Channel marketing manager, said ease
of use, safety and noise were the top three things they
heard about from customers. This led the design team to
put everything a user actually touches on the gen-set in
one place.
The controls, the plugs, the digital display are all in one
place on one side of the unit, Kelsch said. In our user
testing we watched people spend a lot of time figuring out
where the choke was, where the starter was, where the oil
fill was. So our industrial design team paid a lot of attention
to those touchpoints.
Other RP series features include all-steel roll cage
construction and a hinged handle to move the generator,

which is mounted on two wheels. The gen-sets use lithium-
ion batteries on the electric start models, and have an LED
light for night operation.
There is integrated battery charging, a 30 L fuel tank (17 L
on the RP3600), what Cat called a premium exhaust muf-
fler and sound attenuating side panels. All of the wiring is
protected to prevent snags and accidents and all products
incorporate snap-fit weatherproof socket covers.
Prabhat Mittal, product portfolio manager, said the petrol
engines powering the generator sets are overhead valve de-
signs, producing their rated horsepower at 3600 r/min with
splash type lubrication and automatic voltage regulation.
He said the North American engine line includes varia-
tions that meet all U.S. and Canadian requirements. For
the European versions, certification to CE and all relevant
European standards are also included.
Each portable generator model offers an EPA version for
the 49 U.S. states (excluding California), a California CARB
version and a version specifically designed for Canadian
standards, Mittal said. The base product is the same for all,
with fumes recovery to meet California and CSA require-
ments respectively.
When we launch our European series for 50 Hz markets,
we will offer a U.K. version, as well as one for the rest of the
EU, McAllister said.
Caterpillar has also incorporated the use of a QR code
on the generator that when scanned with a smartphone
takes the owner directly to a new support site on Cat.com.
Scanning the QR code provides parts guides and technical
troubleshooting among other things, McAllister said.
One thing we are particularly proud of is that the QR
code allows a user to connect directly to a multilingual

customer support center that is operated by Caterpillar and
staffed by Caterpillar employees, he said.
Our research told us that home owners dont really want
a complex product, so we need to make it as simple for
them as possible. On the other side, we did want a person
that owns a Caterpillar portable gen-set to see that they
own a piece of Cat equipment. Some might use Cat equip-
ment in their business lives, so we wanted them to have the
same experience in their home life.
One obvious question is why Caterpillar chose to go
through this kind of massive effort, creating an entirely new
business unit, for what are essentially lower priced products,
especially compared to Cat dozers, excavators or loaders.
Weve been asked, Why not just license these? Kelsch
said. We wanted to own the process from pre-sales to sup-
port. We carefully designed accessories such as cables,
covers, and maintenance kits that will be plug-and-play and
easy for consumers to use. In the end, these are power
products that resonate much closer to our core. We wanted
to build it as a retail business, but one that looks and feels
like Caterpillar.
Our decision to go into this was that we spotted a grow-
ing market, an important market, with customers becoming
more and more dependent on reliable power. We came to the
conclusion that the core capabilities to succeed in the resi-
dential markets were very similar to the core competencies
we already had within Caterpillar. It was a natural extension of
what we do today, providing localized gen-set packages. dpi

THE ROAD AHEAD

FOR MOBILE MACHINES
Global emissions regulations compliance, efficiency, electrification, digitalization are challenges
ahead for engine-powered equipment and vehicles

BY ROBERTA PRANDI
Editors Note: AVL List, the independent development
specialist focusing on powertrain systems with internal
combustion engines, will host its International Commer-
cial Powertrain Conference in Graz, Austria, May 10-11.
For insights on the current and future challenges faced by
machine and component manufacturers, much of which
will be discussed at the conference, Diesel Progress In-
ternational spoke with Dr. Marko Dekena, AVLs executive
vice president.

DPI: What are the main challenges ahead for mobile

working machinery, both on-highway and off-highway?
Dr. Dekena: Needless to mention of course that it is
compliance with global emission regulations. We are by no
means at the end of this yet. A whole wave of new, more
severe emission regulations are coming up in the future
in the USA, Europe, Japan, China and India. CO2 or fuel
consumption regulations, further NOx emission reductions,
particle number limitations and in-use compliance are the
main topics for future on-highway and nonroad regulations.
It will no longer be sufficient to improve efficiencies of
the engine and/or the transmission. Instead, the overall ef-
ficiency of the complete vehicle or machine whatever it
is must be the focus of our development work. A deep
and broad understanding of machine and vehicle usage is
needed with all relevant duty cycles. This information pro-
vides the mandatory input parameters needed to develop
new vehicles and machines that will comply with future reg-
ulations. This in turn leads to a demand for new skills and According to Dr. Marko Dekena, executive vice presi-

plications and their operational boundaries.

DPI: Machine powertrains have undergone big
changes. Will powertrain components continue to have
significant development potential or will other factors
alternative fuels, connectivity, automated operation
become more important?
Dr. Dekena: The powertrain will be still the heart of the
machine and I do see improvement potential in all the
components. How much depends on the kind of vehicle
and on the application, respectively. While trucks seem to
be already very advanced, though still not at the end, there
is significant potential in off-road machinery, especially in
lesser developed and developing countries.

mentioned will also open new opportu-

More and more proposals are coming

Electrification is a hot topic for off-highway machines. AVL is working at
developments for the electrification of the implements in agricultural ma-
chines, aiming at fuel and consumables savings. AVL is
working on he electrification of implements on agricultural
machines with the goal of improving savings of fuel and
other consumables.

DPI: What is the potential for Big Data and automa-

DPI: What about CO2 reduction? What will be the way
forward for the truck industry and for construction and
agricultural vehicles?
Dr. Dekena: CO2 reduction goes hand in hand with reduc-
tion of fuel consumption. This has been an ongoing demand
from the beginning for commercially used vehicles and ma-
chines. As they need to earn money, they need to be as
efficient as possible, making fuel consumption a top priority.
The way forward for all vehicles and machines is to op-
timize total vehicle operation. That means, now more than
ever, not only optimizing the main components in terms of
CO2 or fuel consumption but optimizing working processes
too. This is where a very special AVL skill comes into the
game highly sophisticated simulation of all kinds of ve-
hicles under the various real operating conditions. In the
very early stages of development, when no hardware even
exists, the behavior of nearly every machine can be simu-
lated in the virtual environment.
With this methodology you get very fast reliable results
for different system solutions and arrangements. So you
can easily select the best combination of components (en-
gine with aftertreatment systems, transmissions, axles,
etc.) to integrate them virtually into a system that fulfills all
your requirements before going into expensive hardware.
Even tractor-implement combinations for agricultural trac-
tors can be simulated, e.g., for choosing the right plough for
a given field and for particular soil conditions.
This methodology is even more important when it comes
to complex electrification or hybridization solutions because
the degrees of freedom become nearly endless. Due to the
complexity, nobody can find out the optimum solution any
more by varying the hardware, particularly in the world of
construction equipment. AVL is very well prepared and ready
to support the respective industries in system simulation
and integration tasks by using our own AVL simulation tool
chain. We model the complete machine comprising the full
powertrain, hydraulics, implements, controls, and also the
thermal system of a machine in a real operating situation.
tion in vehicles and equipment?
Dr. Dekena: The skill and knowledge of working with Big
Data is inevitably linked to automation in a broader sense.
The aforementioned site management is a good example:
excavators, wheel loaders, trucks and maybe even rail,
have to be connected and controlled via the site control
center. Waiting times for loading or dumping are avoided
as far as possible, the right vehicles are directed to the right
place, spare vehicles are in position, repairs and mainte-
nance times are implemented, thus optimizing the whole
process. A real flood of data must be processed in a way
that the right decisions can be taken. The actual fuel con-
sumption information of every vehicle, operating hours,
loads and speeds of the engines and other components
and many more pieces of information will be available at
any time. No way without a proper Big Data management!
Imagine the huge potential for fleet operators to increase
productivity and to reduce operating costs reduction of
unplanned breakdowns, reduction of down times and re-
pair costs if condition-based maintenance were possi-
ble for all main components of a machine. Sensors could
send data to a condition monitoring controller which would
calculate the actual condition of the components so that a
planned maintenance of the machine could be scheduled.
Again, only possible with a Big Data approach.
DPI: Electrification is a subject close to AVLs heart.
What opportunities do you see for future applications?
Dr. Dekena: In passenger cars, AVL is working on all
kinds of hybrid technologies mild to full hybridization,
including design of novel transmissions with integrated e-
motors, battery packs, development of the corresponding
controls (hardware and software) and complete system
integration. We also develop solutions for pure battery
electric vehicles.
Similar work is done for trucks, mainly in the distribu-
tor vehicle range. Moreover, in the area of agriculture we
even do electrification work for implements that in many
cases can save fuel and consumables like fertilizer to a

pared to passenger cars are quite different. AVL tries to se-

DPI: Whats the status of components such as batter-
ies and capacitors in terms of their lifetime, capacity, cost
and chances for economical small-series production?
Dr. Dekena: This is an important and rapidly increasing
business, especially for suppliers. AVL develops battery
packs, meaning the battery modules, the packaging, the
thermal system, the battery management system and the
integration into the vehicle. Battery cost and weight, en-
ergy density and lifetime still need to be further improved.

a long way to go to reach the required levels.

L
eroy-Somer Electric Power Generation said its first
integrated generator set controller and automatic
voltage regulator, the ControlReg, has been ordered
in series production by a customer.
ControlReg, which was introduced last year, is de-
signed to combine generator set controls such as start
preparation, start/stop sequences and fuel level with typi-
cal automatic voltage regulator (AVR) features including
voltage adjustment, proportional-integral-derivative (PID)
or motor soft start. The ControlReg package includes an
industrial alternator, cables and the ControlReg gen-set
controller and is designed to offer a complete solution for
generator set manufacturers to help speed up assembly
time and configuration.
Besides the classical features given by gen-set con-
trollers and AVRs, ControlReg offers many other features
such as Engine Help to carry more load, Voltage Soft
Start to gradually increase the voltage and reduce the
voltage overshoot during start up, and De-Excite trig-
gered by some predefined faults, said Emile Mouni, elec-
tronics projects manager at Leroy-Somer Electric Power
Generation. For end users, having a ControlReg to pilot
the gen-set means that most operations and adjustments
of gen-set and alternator can be performed from a single
unit, without having to open the terminal box. This is a
huge benefit in terms of safety.
ControlReg was a new product for Leroy-Somer, which
previously offered no gen-set controller products. Mouni
said that the company had to work hard and do a lot of
research to understand the market and user expectations.

Mouni said. There is no more need
to open the generator terminal box to
wire the cables or set the voltage level.
Electrical risks are dramatically reduced
and all information is available on the

The project also fits in our broader vi-
sion on the future of the industry, where
we see components in the gen-set

does just that by packing together all
the controls in a single device.
As an alternator manufacturer, we
already had our hands on the voltage
regulator and we knew there was an op-

to the market. To develop ControlReg,
we chose to work with Denmark-based

Liebherrs new 20-cylinder G9620 gas engine targets range of power
generation, cogeneration applications

L
iebherr Components a division of the Liebherr
Group is launching a new 20-cylinder gaseous-
fuel engine that follows the companys strategy for
the development of fully equipped gas engines.
Officially unveiled late last year at EnergyDecentral in
Hanover, Germany, the Liebherr G9620 gas engine offers a
power output in excess of 1 MW from a 48.7 L displacement
with 44% mechanical efficiency, the company said.
The new gas engine by Liebherr will be available in two
basic versions a high efficiency and high response ver-
sion, said Martial Suchet, head of Sales Gas Engines, at
Liebherr. With them, Liebherr will cover the most applica-
tions on a wide spectrum of different gases for example
gases with different energy values as well as gases with
different methane numbers. Applications both in net parallel
work and island mode, as well as in 50 or 60 Hz applica-
tions are further planned for development.
This flexibility is possible thanks to only a few adjust-
ments and some geometric aspects, but mainly thanks to
our onboard electronics. The electronic control units are
steering all essential engine functions, such as knocking
control, ignition control, power control, lambda control,
safety controls.
The company said the G9620 gas engine would include
integrated air filters, on-engine Liebherr engine control
units (ECUs) with calibrated data sets and a new water-

NEW ENGINES POWER
KOHLER LARGE GEN-SET EXPANSION
Engine development program with Liebherr will move generator set range to 4 MW
BY MIKE OSENGA
M
arking a major new development in the larger-
horsepower diesel engine business, Kohler Co.
and Liebherr Machines Bulle S.A. have an-
nounced a strategic agreement to develop a new
line of diesel engines that will power a new line of Kohler
and Kohler/SDMO generator sets.
The new engine line, the KD Series, will include two series
the 135 series and the 175 series both containing three
engine models. Overall, the new line will include V12 to V20
engines with displacements from 27 through 103 L and out-
puts between 709 and 3608 kWm gross power at 1500 r/min
and between 891 and 4250 kWm gross power at 1800 r/min.
The 175 series engines will be manufactured at Liebherrs
new Colmar, France, facility, while the 135 range will be built
at its Bulle, Switzerland, engine-manufacturing operations.

In many ways this is the most global product we have
ever taken on, said Kohlers Tom Cromwell, group presi-
dent power. Commonization and keeping the spec con-
sistent was at the forefront of this entire development. That
took a lot of global coordination, with Liebherr, so that the
product going into China, into Europe, into North America
has the same look and the same feel.
In many ways this is a strategic agreement between two
similar companies. Both are privately held, family run enti-
ties with the second and third generation of family now
deeply involved. Both are similarly sized in annual revenue
and both have varied degrees of involvement in consumer
household products as well as the hospitality industry.

and continuous applications. Targeted uses include data
centers, health care, water treatment, oil and gas, telecom-
munications and mining.

Both were using outside engine suppliers in those ranges.
The agreement came together in part, because both
Kohler and Liebherr were looking to have greater control
over their own destinies from an engine perspective.

it is trending more into the 2500 to 3250 kW range, and
moving towards 4 MW. Thats where the demand is going,
and thats why were interested in working with Liebherr to
develop engines to meet this trend and those demands.
On the other hand, Liebherr, which builds its own smaller
diesels, was looking for options and more control for the
larger-output engines it uses in its big off-highway ma-
chines, but needed additional volumes to develop engines
for those mobile uses.
The new KD series diesels are based on engines devel-
oped and recently introduced by Liebherr for its line of con-
struction and mining equipment (see October 2016 Diesel
Progress International).
But according to Cromwell, beyond the engine block, the
engines are substantially different. The bore and stroke are
the same as the Liebherr engines, but the way you dress
out the engine for power generations, the engine controls,
fuel system, turbocharger configurations and things like
that, will be very different, Cromwell said.
Liebherr did a lot of the base engine development and we
worked with them on the specifics of generator drive devel-
opment, Cromwell said. The particulars of variable speed

Key design features include a new Liebherr high-pressure
common rail fuel system that reaches pressures up to 2200 bar
designed to deliver better atomization of fuel and improved
fuel consumption. Liebherr said the precisely metered fuel
injection system also minimizes engine particulates, reduces
emissions, and helps the new engines to meet global emis-
sion regulations in all markets.
The engine control unit (ECU) incorporates Kodia diag-
nostic software for intuitive monitoring. The turbocharged
and aftercooled air system is designed to optimize airflow to
the cylinders for maximum power, optimal combustion, and
reduced fuel consumption, Kohler said.
The full line of engines also includes a closed-loop regen-
eration crankcase ventilation system. A low-noise combus-
tion system with optimized pressure is designed to work
in combination with a rigid engine block, crankcase and
sub-frame to significantly reduce noise and vibration. The
cylinder head is a crossflow design with what Kohler said is
a new valve orientation.
Parts availability, as well as service for the Kohler en-
gines, will be available exclusively through its worldwide
distributor network. Training of service technicians has be-
gun and will continue throughout 2017.
One of the biggest things we had to go through was
the service and parts strategy, Cromwell said. How we
Rated 2500 kW standby and 2270 kW prime (60 Hz), the Kohler
KD2500 is part of a new range of Kohler and Kohler/SDMO gen-sets
that will range from 800 to 2500 kW and will eventually go up to 4 MW.
Having said that, the 1 MW size is a very, very attrac-
tive unit. One where we think there will be a lot of volume
with this new line.
Kohler said the new sets have over 50 000 bench test
hours in a coordinated Kohler/SDMO and Liebherr testing
program. The program included codes and standard tests
to UL, CSA, IBE, CE, OSHPD, and NFPA.
The engines drive newly developed Kohler/SDMO alterna-
tors with fast recovery and response time, high motor-starting
capabilities and PMG exciter system. The new KD Series was
designed for high ambient temperature operating conditions
and feature a 50C ambient cooling modular core radiator.
Cromwell said users of the new KD Series generators
would find cost savings in part through the product lines
better fuel efficiency, extended service intervals, and space-
saving footprint. He said the new generators are designed
to meet global emissions regulations and are customizable
to match specific application requirements. Looking for

will get parts from Liebherr, where were we going to put
service parts locations, service parts warehouses, along
with consignment stock at distributors. We addressed
how we were going to manage service and parts distribu-
tion from the very beginning, so it is very well vetted at
this point.
From a service standpoint, we had to get technicians
both from the Kohler side, and the SDMO side into Liebherr
for very detailed product and engine training. They have
already gone through that curve, so were in good shape.
The next big step is to get all our distributors up to speed
on that as well, so well do a tremendous amount of train-
ing and development work with distributors over the next
12 months.
But many of our distributors service large engines today,
so its just getting them familiar with the Kohler product ver-
sus the engines they have today. Its not a huge step to get
over, but its a very important step. dpi

Kohler generators, well be able to stand behind this line
with a global three-year warranty. The sets will be serviced
exclusively though Kohler global dealer and distribution in-
frastructure consisting of more than 800 facilities.
Along with the new engines driving the new line of gen-
erator sets, Kohler also announced a series of branding
changes. Most notably, the Kohler-branded products will
henceforth be known as Kohler, replacing Kohler Power
Systems as a product brand, while the SDMO products will
now become Kohler/SDMO. dpi

The new E3262 E302 naturally aspirated

and is rated 275 kWm at 1500 r/min for the
50 Hz version.
MAN UPS POWER
AND EFFICIENCY
New naturally aspirated E3262 E302 gas engine for cogeneration plants designed to deliver
275 kWm and 93.6% overall efficiency
M
AN Engines recently unveiled a new natural gas
engine for cogeneration plants. The new E3262
E302 engine is rated 275 kWm at 1500 r/min for
50 Hz markets.
The 12-cylinder engine outperforms its predecessor
the E2842 E312 naturally aspirated engine with 10%
more power, MAN said. The companys engineers were
able to increase output by enlarging the bore to 132 mm,
which has increased cubic capacity to 25.8 L. Stroke di-
mensions are 157 mm.
According to MAN, optimised combustion and a cylinder
head with four-valve technology have helped to increase
overall efficiency to 93.6%. Thermal efficiency reaches 54%
and mechanical efficiency 39.6%, representing improve-
ments of more than 6 and 2.4% respectively, on the prede-
cessor engine, the company said.
MAN also said that thanks to stoichiometric combustion
(l=1), a three-way catalytic converter is all that is needed
to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO)
to required levels. Avoiding the use of an SCR system has
resulted in a highly efficient and, above all, cost-effective
exhaust gas aftertreatment system that enables even very
low local emissions limits to be met, said Hubert Gossner,
head of Power MAN Engines.
The MAN E3262 E302 engine is reported to achieve a
CO value below 100 mg/Nm3, which lies below the limits
currently being discussed for the amendment to the TA Luft
DIESEL PROGRESS INTERNATIONAL 57 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017
ENGINES
(Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control) in Germany.
The new E3262 E302 is available with a data logger, stan-
dardized sensors and sensor positions, as well as a built-in
cable harness. Through a CANbus interface, MAN said im-
portant engine parameters such as exhaust gas temperature,
oil pressure/temperature, mixture and coolant temperature, as
well as the charge pressure, can be retrieved and provided for
the system controls with minimum effort.
The engine incorporates a crankcase with optimised
flow, which results in 30% less pressure loss, MAN said.
This makes possible to reduce output for the coolant
pump, which in turn reduces the cogeneration plants
own consumption. Further savings can potentially be
made through the cogeneration plants water-cooled ex-
haust pipes, which lower the exhaust gas temperature
thus enabling the use of a smaller exhaust gas heat ex-
changer, the company said.
MAN added that the E3262 E302 structure uses well-
engineered components the basic power unit in the new
engine is taken from the turbocharged E3262 LE202 lean-
burn engine, which has been in operation since its launch
in 2012. The E3262 E302 naturally aspirated engine has
also shown excellent results in field trials, MAN said. dpi

LeeBoy Plans More Production In Brazil
LeeBoy, which in 2014 acquired Brazils Ticel Equipa-
mentos, has announced an additional capital injection to its
South American business. The latest investment by SDG
Kinetics Pte. Ltd. and Autonomous Technology Pte. Ltd. in
LeeBoy Brazil is a total of approximately US$11 million.
LeeBoy Brazil said it would focus on export opportu-
nities for 2017, including the launch of two new prod-
ucts that will be produced in Brazil.
This is an additional capital injection to bolster the op-
eration and increases the number of models that we are
now producing in Porto Alegre city, said Kelly Majeskie,
president, LeeBoy.
LeeBoy Brazil was established to serve both as a base
to support the Brazilian business as well as provide a local
manufacturing base for select LeeBoy products to be sold
throughout Latin America.
Majeskie said 2016 was a weak year for the brand in the
region. The local economic environment and political insta-
bility has kept most contractors and projects in limbo, he
said. Most of our production was exported.
We continue to expand the LeeBoy-designed products
for local markets. We will add two new products to be pro-
duced in Brazil in 2017.
LeeBoy Brazil manufactures an array of portable asphalt
drum mix and soil plants, along with pavers and mobile as-
phalt sprayers.

Mahindra Raising Brazil Tractor Production
Mahindra said it has taken over the operation of its fac-
tory in Dois Irmos city, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. The
unit will report to Mahindra in the USA rather than Chile.
In three years, Mahindra said it plans to double the
production number as well as its staff at its trac-
tor factory in Brazil. The plant currently builds three
models but that number will also be doubled, the
company said.
The company also announced that it intends to increase
tractor production, which is currently 1200 a year. The in-
tention is to double that number, as well as the current staff
of 25, within three years. The plant, which has been open
since 2013, produces three tractor models, which will be
raised to six, covering a power range of 18 to 74 kW, the
company said.
We will invest heavily in Brazil, said Mani Iyer, Mahindras
CEO in the USA, who visited Dois Irmos to see the plant
and meet employees. One of Mahindras intentions is to be
a partner in the countrys ecosystem to both grow together.
While the plans for the coming years are not finished,
the plant is expected to be modernized and an increase in
the production capacity of 25% would allow Mahindra to
manufacture 1500 tractors a year. This is the limit of the
place. After that the company would have to search for a
new location.
We dont have anything foreseen, but we intend to
stay in Rio Grande do Sul because it is our best market
for this power range, said Jak Torretta Jr., general di-
rector, Mahindra Brazil. Within a year, Mahindra intends
to pass from sixth to fifth position in the national market
share of tractors, which sells annually around 30 000
units. Within five years, the company wants to lead the
ranking, Torretta added.
We have great plans for Brazil, Iyer said. There is no
reason not to be among the three biggest in the country.
Based in India, Mahindra produces 200 000 tractors a
year. dpi
