Rolls-Royce is presenting its EU Stage V certified MTU engines for the construction equipment and industrial sectors at bauma, the world?s largest construction machinery trade fair. The Series 1000, 1100, 1300 and 1500 engines were given certificates of compliance with EU Stage V emission requirements in March 2018, and have been available as standard production engines since June 2018. The first units have already been delivered to vehicle manufacturers Tadano, Hidromek, Kato, Manitowoc, Bomag, Bell and Hyster.

Based on Daimler commercial vehicle engines, these diesels cover a power range of 115 to 480 kW. The new limits are achieved by internal engine enhancements and by adding an SCR system and an additional diesel particulate filter. As well as reduced CO2 emissions, the torque, performance and fuel consumption of the engines have all been improved. ?The first EU Stage V engines have been tested rigorously in numerous prototypes, at times under extreme weather and altitude conditions. This way, we?ve been able to evaluate a wealth of application data and operating experience, and the engines finally went into full production seven months before the new directive came into force,? explained Lars Kr?ft, Head of Industrial Business at Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
