Dear readers,

In this year DEUTZ is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Todaywe can hardly imagine life today without the development of thecombustion engine. How significantly this invention has shapedour lives, also became clear within the context of our anniver-sary ceremony, hosted in the Koelnmesse in May. 150 years ofDEUTZ stand for efficient, sustainable engine technology andfor the development of the four-stroke engine, which got moto-risation in motion across the world. This special anniversary wascelebrated with DEUTZ customers, partners and suppliers, but also with high-rankingpoliticians and business representatives, including the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hannelore Kraft, and the Lord Mayor of Cologne, Jürgen Roters, who wasimpressed by the eventful history of the company in his city (report and images as of p. 6).

We are particularly happy that, in addition to the fact that DEUTZ could build on the pre-vious year's good development in the first quarter of 2014, this positive business devel-opment has continued within the course of the year. When compared with the previousyear, sales and turnover have increased significantly, and the operative result, beforetaking account of one-time items, was virtually doubled. Regardless, with 746.8 million

euros, the incoming orders remained behind the record high of the previous year (H12013: 843.5 million euros). Following numerous quarters with particularly high incomingorders, this has declined in the second quarter and amounted to 332.6 million euros, after414.2 million euros in the previous quarter. In the period under review, sales increasedto 99.079 engines and thus, in comparison to the same period in the previous year, in-creased by 15.3 per cent (H1 2013: 85.907 engines). Especially in the second quarter of2014, a considerable increase was noted: With 54,622 sold engines, the same quarterof the previous year could be surpassed by 10.0 per cent and the previous quarter by22.9 per cent. When compared with the previous year, turnover also increased by 13.8per cent in the first six months of the current fiscal year, to 753.4 million euros (H1 2013:662.1 million euros). In the process, revenues in all regions – EMEA (Europe, Middle Eastand Africa), America and Asia/Pacific – could be extended.

These are the innovations that have always propelled DEUTZ. Recognising long-termdevelopments and reacting to them in an innovative manner is what characterises strongcompanies. In this issue, we will be taking a closer look at these ‘Megatrends’, a phrasethat was first coined in 1982. It serves to describe changes in the economy and in societysuch as, e.g. urbanisation. A growing population is to be provided with food, urbanisationproceeds apace and global trade is increasing. These trends will not come to an end fora very long time. They affect Europe in the same way as all regions of the world – and allthose who produce engines and work with them. (as of p. 10).

With regard to sustainability, efficiency and design, the ‘Lamborghini Trattori’ are sendingout strong signals (p. 20). The tractors with DEUTZ motorisation are perfection in shapeon four wheels, and they have won numerous awards. That DEUTZ encourages excep-

tional performance can be seen in an emotional contribution on p. 32. With his 80 yearsof age, Winfried Langner, who goes on extended tours through Europe in memory of hislate wife, has in the meantime become a true celebrity. He was accompanied by many

journalists on the DEUTZ vintage car D15 and has touched the hearts of plenty of people.DEUTZ INSIDE visited him at his home in Lower Saxonian Lauenförde, to find out moreabout his experiences.

Be inspired by these and other stories. I wish you lots of fun with it.

Kind regards

IhreDr Margarete Haase

DEUTZ to sell engines to TYM

With the Korean tractor manufacturer Tong Yang Moolsan (TYM), DEUTZ AGhas been able to acquire a new partnerfor long-term collaboration in the field ofagricultural engineering. TYM is the firsttractor manufacturer to be supplied byDEUTZ in Asia. The Korean companyrecently received the new engines ofthe TCD 2.9 series, which have beenspecially further developed for agricul-tural technology. With the collaboration,DEUTZ is successfully strengthening itsstrategic position in Asia.

The focus of the large Seoul-based cor-poration is on the production of tractorsand rice-harvesting machines. Each year,

Tong Yang Moolsan produces about

10,000 tractors in the performancerange from 23 to 100 hp at its plant in theKorean city of Busan. They are primarilydestined for the Asianand North Americanmarkets but are soldin Europe as well.

The tractors ofthe T604, T654,

T754 family will beequipped onwardswith the DEUTZ

TCD 2.9 L4 devel-oped specially foruse in agricultural tech-nology. The water-cooled 4-cylinder in-line engine impresses with its optimumcold-start capability even under extremeconditions. The super-compact enginedesign as well as a customer-orientedmodular system of optional parts forattachment reduces installation costswhile also increasing the number of ap-plications.

The TCD 2.9 provides a modular exhaustgas after-treatment system (EGR) attach-able optionally to the engine, thereby fa-cilitating a drop-in installation of the entiresystem. The engine is available with andwithout turbocharger as well as optionallywith or without charge air cooling.

‘We are pleased to have found a newand reliable partner in the agriculturalequipment sector in Tong Yang Moolsan.

This collaboration allows us to expandour presence in the Asian and North

American market’, says Michael Wellen-zohn, DEUTZ AG Board of Management,Sales/Service and Marketing.

‘Souvenirs, Souvenirs’ – a musical journey

back to the time of the economic miracle

Economic miracle – a federal German post-war phenomenon associated with pet-ticoats, groovy rock ‘n’ roll rhythms and the long-awaited trip in the VW Beetle toItaly. A time when everything seemed possible and the federal Republic was comingback to life. All of Paris dreamt of love, it was supposed to rain red roses and manya person met their great love, the ‘sugar doll from the belly dance troupe’. This livelyand at the same time melancholy time of ‘Souvenirs, Souvenirs’ was revived by theDEUTZ Choir in Cologne in its large summer concert at the Cologne philharmonic.Supported by high-profile guest stars, the Cologne choir transported its audienceon a musical journey back to the time of the economic miracle. Under the directionof Heinz-Walter Florin, the soloists Freddy Albers, Christiane Florin, Nicole Müheand Claudia Engels sang popular hits of the time. It was just as important to includenumbers by Freddy Quinn and Hans Albers as the classics of Caterina Valente andHildegard Knef as well as Karl Berbuer und Gerhard Jussenhoven. The DEUTZ Choirwas also able to engage to popular artists of the time in Bill Ramsey and AngelinaMonti. With hits like ‘Ohne Krimi geht die Mimi nie ins Bett’, the ‘Zuckerpuppe ausder Bauchtanztruppe’, ‘Brazil’ and ‘Quando, quando’ they sang – with the supportof the powerful voices of the DEUTZ Choir and the north-west German Philharmon-

ic – popular catchy tunesof the time, ensuring thatthe Cologne Philharmonicsuccumbed to the swing-ing charm of the 1950s.

DEUTZ relocates replacement engine production to Ulm

DEUTZ AG announcedat the end of July thatit would be leaving thereplacement engineproduction location inÜbersee am Chiemsee.

Three months earlier,the company had an-nounced it was exam-ining the possibility ofrelocating the DEUTZ

Xchange works to Ulm. After a thorough and comprehensive analysis, the management board at DEUTZ AGhas now decided to close the replacement engine production works in Übersee andintegrate the replacement engine production into the plant in Ulm. By concentratingproduction at one site, it is possible to increase productivity and reduce the burden offixed costs. The synergies here result essentially from the use of the infrastructure of theUlm plant, as well as synergies in the overhead fields.

‘The decision to integrate our factory in Übersee into the plant in Ulm was not an easyone for us to take. But with the concentration of replacement engines in Ulm we arecreating the basis for our growth strategy in the Xchange and service area. For thisreason this is the right decision for the company from the strategic prospective,’ ex-plains DEUTZ CEO Dr Helmet Leube.

157 employees are affected by the closure of the site. The DEUTZ management boardand works council will be drawing up a reconciliation of interests and social compen-sation plan for the affected employees.

‘It is our objective to acquire as many employees as possible for a job in Ulm. Forthis we are going to develop working time models which are tailored to the situationtogether with the works council and offer financial compensation for second homes andtravel expenses, for example,’ says Dr Margarete Haase, Director of Finance, HumanResources and Investor Relations.

The relocation of the replacement engine plants to Ulm will be carried out in stages bythe end of 2015.

How to deal with long-term developmentsin Europe and the world

A growing population has to be supplied with food, urbani-sation continues to expand, world trade is growing and nat-ural resources have to be strictly protected. These trendsare well known and they will not come to an end for a verylong time. But most of all: they affect Europe in the sameway as all regions of the world – and all those who produceengines and work with them.

er of global development. The furtherthe megatrends progress, the greaterthe interdependence between the worldregions. And one thing is beyond doubt:

A significant portion of the technologycomes from Europe which firstly drivesthe global trends and secondly helps toovercome their challenges – such as the

engines produced by DEUTZ.

ten largest conurbations in the worldare located in Asia, with only three inindustrialised countries (Tokyo, New

York, Seoul) and not one in Europe. And the fact that the most powerful,economy in the EU – Germany – nowhas negative population growth is alsosymptomatic. However, in no way does

this make Europe an innocent bystand-

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

The term ‘megatrend’ is used to refer to changes in the economy andsociety which are expected to last a long time and which either occurand progress globally or within a geographically limited area. One of thebest-known examples: Urbanisation, the tendency that more and moresections of the population either move to the town or city and/or thatareas which up to now have been rural take on urban structures. Theterm ‘megatrends’ was coined by the American futurologist John Naisbittin his book published in 1982 Megatrends – 10 new directions trans-forming our lives.i

the mega trendsetter

E ,Not without reason DEUTZ is convincedthat diesel engines will still be in demandin the future. Irrespective of short-termeconomic fluctuations or crises such asthat occurred in 2008, which hit the tech-nology sector in Europe and worldwidevery hard, there are also so-called meg-atrends which over the long term ensuregrowing demand for fuel-efficient, per-formance-optimised and low-emissionengines. Improvements in efficiency inagriculture which are the preconditionfor being able to supply a constantlygrowing world population, can only beachieved with corresponding machines.Growing population figures are alsoa major driver of the mega trend ofurbanisation: moreand more peoplelive in towns and

cities, need housing,infrastructure andtransport routes.One key function inglobalisation and theassociated growthin streams of goodsand transport isplayed by the logis-tics field. Withouttrucks, trains, shipsand aeroplanes,logistics is unthinkable. And becausemore of everything is being consumed,but the resources are finite, the subjectof the environment is becoming increas-ingly important.

Europe in a global context

It has already been touched on: mega-trends are a global issue. However, the‘old’ Europe, from where the industrial-isation of the entire world once started,has a key role to play – and one that

displays several dimensions: On the onehand, Europe will still be the driver ofsuch trends in the future. For example,the awareness that the finite natural re-sources have to be sustainably man-aged arrived in the minds of the peopleof the densely populated continentearlier than elsewhere. It is thereforeno coincidence that the EU emissionstandards have always been some ofthe strictest in the world (for an articleon this, see page 14). On the otherhand, trends such as population growthor urbanisation have now been mainlytransferred to the emerging countriesand developing regions. Seven of the

Population growth and urbanisation

A continually g rowing world populati on,changing dietary habits and the de-creasing size of agricultural land demandhuge improvements in efficiency in theagricultural sector. One key to i ncreasedproductivity is powerful machines. As along-term partner of agricultural machin-ery manufacturers, DEUTZ offers a widerange of engines which are both power-ful and economical, from the 912 serieswith 32 kW in the basic version to the

TCD 16.0 with up to 520 kW. This co v-ers the entire spectrum, from the fuel-ef-ficient small tractor to high-performanceharvesting machines and larch tractors.

All over the world, more and morepeople are living in towns and cities. In

the heartland of the EU, with Germany,France and the Benelux countries, thelevel of urbanisation is over 70%. This isshown by figures published by the CIA,which – contrary to popular opinion – isnot only responsible for intelligence ac-tivities, but also collects, evaluates andpublishes worldwide statistical data.While urbanisation will very probablynot continue to increase at the heart ofEurope, its trend in the emerging coun-tries and developing regions continuesunabated. Traffic routes and other formsof infrastructure are being built there ona large scale. In contrast, in the denselypopulated, highly developed countriesof Europe, it is the maintenance and ex-

pansion of roads, energy supply facilitiesetc which are the driving force behindthe construction industry. The demandfor all types of construction equipment isgrowing accordingly. As one of the larg-est independent engine manufacturers,DEUTZ develops and builds diesel en-gines for a wide range of applicationsin the construction sector. These arepowerful, economical and robust evenunder difficult conditions, as well asbeing quiet, low-emission and compact.

Growing world trade plus resourceefficiency

The worldwide networking of econ-omies, new growth markets and thetendency to produce consumer goodsincreasingly in countries with low wage

levels have resulted in a sharp rise in thestreams of goods and transport. Logis-tics therefore plays a key role in glob-alisation, not only on land, but also in theair and by sea. DEUTZ supplies high-performance, low-emission engines fortrucks, but also for aircraft tractors, forexample, or power units for the groundsupport of aircraft.

Apart from t he streams of goods, envi-ronmental awareness is also growing,not so much out of ecological idealism,but more out of the necessity to man-age the resources. In view of climatechange and the ever-increasing globalenergy consumption, reductions in con-

sumption and emissions are essential. As an alternative to fossil resources,regenerative sources of energy con-tinue to be developed more and more.With the development of fuel-efficient,low-emission engines, hybrid conceptsand engines which can be operated withfuels that are renewable, DEUTZ is mak-ing a significant contribution to environ-mental protection. Furthermore: Boththe company and its customers benefitas market participants from the resultingintroduction of new engine types. Addi-tional growth stimuli are resulting fromnew emission technologies which leadto integrated and more complex drivesystems.

Conclusion

The megatrends dealt with here presentchallenges to the manufacturers andusers of diesel engines. Above all, how-ever, they are opening up new oppor-tunities. DEUTZ is ideally equipped witha broad product portfolio of engineswhich covers many industries – fromthe tractor, through the truck to the con-struction machine, from the railway driveunit, through energy generating sets tothe underground drill. And last but notleast, DEUTZ is very well positioned withits worldwide service network. Theseare the preconditions, thanks to whichthe customers of DEUTZ can also suc-cessfully address the megatrends.

Deutz and DEUTZ belong together –not only in name. In Deutz, a suburb ofCologne, Nicolaus August Otto beganto build engines after the square inCologne city centre had become toosmall for the up-and-coming company.

And DEUTZ AG continues to producein Deutz today. Components are stillmanufactured mechanically here usingstate-of-the-art technology. They thengo to the assembly lines in Porz just-in-time and just-in-sequence. In thissuburb of Cologne, which is only a fewkilometres away, the heart of DEUTZbeats in its headquarters, which is not

only the registered office of the PLC,but also the central research and devel-opment site. And still in Cologne: In thesuburb of Kalk, DEUTZ operates its ul-tramodern logistics centre, from whereall customers and dealers are suppliedby the round-the-clock service.

of DEUTZ. The local team can draw ondecades of experience in the designand assembly of air and liquid-cooled

engines. The production of replacementengines, known under the brand nameof DEUTZ Xchange, will also be locatedin Ulm in the future.

Finally, with its location in Zafra, DEUTZhas its own production capacity inSpain. More specifically, this is theDEUTZ subsidiary of Diter S.A. As inHerschbach, this is a component plant.It is mainly connecting rods, cylinderheads and gears which are supplied di-rectly from Spain to the assembly linesin Cologne and Ulm.

European presence beyond manu-facturing

It is well known that DEUTZ is strong ininternational sales. DEUTZ distributingcompanies and sales offices are locat-ed in several of the largest economi es inEurope. DEUTZ has its own companiesin the shape of DEUTZ France S.A. inGennevilliers near Paris and DEUTZ

Diter-Niederlassung in Madrid. DEUTZhas sales offices in Moscow, Istanbuland Cannock, a town in the region of

Birmingham/UK. In addition, there arethree more sales offices in Germany.

These are in Col ogne and Ulm, wherethere are also production sites, as wellas in Wunstorf not far from Hanover.

It goes without saying that the sales andservices provided to DEUTZ customersare not restricted to those countriesin which the above-mentioned loca-tions are found. Instead, the situationall round the globe, and in Europe inparticular, is as follows: With a networkconsisting of 800 independent salesand service partners in more than 130countries, DEUTZ is always close to thecustomer.

IN CONVERSATIONIN CONVERSATION

DEUTZ INSIDE: Mr Diderich, youare Senior Vice President CorporateManagement at DEUTZ AG and alsothe President of EUROMOT, the Eu-ropean Association of Internal Com-bustion Engine Manufacturers. Onthe market, the member companiesare competitors. What are they ableto achieve by coming together in anassociation?

Georg Diderich: EUROMOT is a Euro-pean industry association with an inter-national orientation and membershipwhich deals primarily with environmentallegislation, i.e. with new exhaust emis-sion levels. We represent the interestsof approximately 40 manufacturers ofinternal combustion engines for indus-trial applications which are at home inEurope, the USA and Asia. By comingtogether in an association, we can de-velop joint technical positions and throwgreater weight into the discussions withthe legislators about new legislation andrequirements for future products thanwould be possible for individual compa-nies. As a European association, we are

an accredited discussion partner for theEuropean institutions, the Commission,the Parliament and the Council, but alsofor transnational legislators such as UN-

ECE (United Nations – Economic Com-mission for Europe) or UN-IMO (UnitedNations – International Maritime Organ-isation), whose jurisdiction goes wellbeyond the European region. Being ableto adopt a uniform industrial positionmeans that in the most favourable caseit is possible to pass legislation whichis the same all over the world, e.g. forlimits for nitrogen oxides or particulatematter. EUROMOT can also crediblyrepresent the subject of internationalharmonisation, as we can fall back onthe experience and the contacts of ournon-European members in their respec-tive home markets. If it comes to ques-tions of the interpretation or possiblefurther developments in the US environ-mental legislation, for example, we canapply this knowledge at an early stage inthe legislative processes in Europe. Wepursue these goals in close collabora-tion with our partner associations in theUSA, Japan, India and – more recently– also in China.

DEUTZ INSIDE: What are the benefitsof the work of EUROMOT for the cus-tomers of the member companies?

Georg Diderich: Work on new legis-lation is always carried out in close con-sultation with the European associationof machinery manufacturers. The cus-tomers of our member firms are there-fore also an active part of the legislativedevelopment process.Through inter-nationally harmonised legislation it ispossible to introduce new emission-re-ducing technologies and products intothe global markets more quickly andsmoothly than would be possible by

Interview with Georg Diderich, President of EUROMOT

Partner of the legislators

The graduate economist Georg Diderich has been employed at DEUTZ in a number of different management positionssince 1991. He has been managing the corporate management division since 2009. In addition to this, the 49-year-oldhas been the president of EUROMOT, the European Association of Internal Combustion Engine Manufacturers since2013, of which he has been a member since 2002. During an interview with DEUTZ INSIDE, he explains to which extentthe customers of the member firms can influence the legislative development process

means of individual national regulations. The positive effect is a further increase inair quality wherever internal combustionengines are used. It is our duty as an as-

sociation to develop common positionsin a way that connects what is techni-cally feasible to what is economicallymeaningful and compatible with the en-vironment. For the companies involved,looking into the future enables better re-source planning, lower service and de-velopment expenses and the possibilityof correcting developments which arenot technically or economically accept-able when legislation is passed.

DEUTZ INSIDE: EUROMOT has beenin existence since 1991, so thatcompared to the corporate history ofDEUTZ, this is a comparatively youngorganisation. What would you con-sider to be the greatest achievementof EUROMOT since 1991?

Georg Diderich: EUROMOT wasfounded in 1991 with the aim of beingable to incorporate and shape industrialpositions for the European emissionslegislation for diesel engines, whichwas under development at the time.One of the important achievements wascertainly bringing together the group ofcompanies located in Europe, whichwas fairly small at the time, into a pres-tigious association of industrial enginemanufacturers, in which more and morecompanies gradually placed their trust,including those from the USA and Asia.

Today, our member companies rep-resent approximately 95% of the manu-facturers of industrial engines operatingin Europe. As a visible outward result ofthis long-standing trust and constructivecooperation, EUROMOT has been is-sued with accreditation at UN-ECE andUN-IMO, with the latter even recognising

EUROMOT as the only representative ofthe motor industry worldwide. We are ofcourse very proud of this. Of course itwill also be important for us in the futureto continue to reflect the breadth and di-versity of the companies. The increasinginternationalisation and the emergenceof new large economies on the worldmarket is therefore taken into accountby us with a greater presence in non-European discussions in order to pre-vent new legislative proposals contra-dicting the international harmonisationidea with requirements which are tooindividual and locally orientated.

DEUTZ INSIDE: The list of EUROMOTmembers reads like the Who’s Whoof the world market leaders. They alloperate globally. What are the spe-cific features of the European market

in particular, and how do you handlethese features?

Georg Diderich: The European treatiesenable the free movement of goods andservices within the Common EconomicSpace of the 28 EU Member States.

This means that the directives and reg-ulations adopted by the Parliament andCouncil are applied uniformly in all ofthe Member States and therefore createlegal certainty for companies withinthe EU internal space. Due to the factthat the Member States are howeverallowed to issue tighter national or evenregional regulations, for example the es-tablishment of environmental zones in

Germany, this means that for our field ofwork there is always the risk of a ‘regu-latory patchwork ’. These special region-al or municipal regulations run contraryto the actual idea of a uniform internalmarket and mean that companies haveto carry out complex and expensivetechnical adaptationsto their products forvery small marketsegments. In orderto prevent this trend,we at EUROMOT andthe national partner associations are in-volved in intensive discussions with thecorresponding ministries, public author-ities and municipalities in the membercountries. We try above all to point outthe various advantages of standardisedEuropean legislation, for example thefaster penetration of the internal marketwith new, more efficient and more envi-ronmentally compatible technology.

DEUTZ INSIDE: If one takes a lookat worldwide developments, one hasthe impression that single – at leastin terms of quantity – Europe is re-ceding more and more into the back-ground compared to other regions.Why does Europe remain so impor-tant for engine manufacturers?

Georg Diderich: I think this is a ques-tion that would certainly be answeredin a very individual way by our membercompanies, as traditional market sharesor orientations, and the development in

the sales of certain machines or appli-cations play a major role here. With theenvironmental legislation, both the EUMember States and the European in-stitutions are eager to adopt a pioneer-ing technological and environmentalpolicy role worldwide. This is shown, for

example, in the cur-rent discussions onthe next EU exhaustemissions standardfor mobile machines,which are aimed at

introducing the world’s lowest emissionlimits for industrial engines within thenext five years. While this developmentwould only have been possible in thelast few years in conjunction with sim-ilar efforts, at least in the USA, this timethe route of a special role for Europehas consciously been taken, also thehope that other regions will follow suit.

You can see from this example that thisdevelopment is forcing companies todevelop new technologies for a limitedmarket, albeit without the prospect ini-tially of being able to spread this tech-nology over larger international markets.From the point of view of the legislator,however, this pressure to adapt is pro-moting the continuous development ofEuropean technologies and is thereforea guarantee for its pioneering role inworldwide markets.

‘The customers of our memberfirms are also an active

part of the legislative

development process.’

Conserving natural resources, reducingexhaust emissions – this is one of themegatrends which are furthering thedevelopment of engines (cf. Article onpage 10). In order to be able to provideengine users worldwide with future-proof products, the engines producedby DEUTZ always fulfil the strictest emis-

sion standards. These standards comein part from North America, where Tier4 final represents the current status oflegislation for non-road applications(e.g. construction machines). They alsocome from Europe, where EU level IV forengines from 56 to 560 kW, which cor-responds to the US Tier 4, is currently inforce. Level V is already in preparation.

The current state of legislation

Laws or their amendments on exhaustemissions in the EU are not only the con-cern of politicians and officials. Instead,they arise out of a process of decision-making and participation. For the EU V

Decision-makingand participation

processThe EU emissions legislation continues to progress

The improvement in environmental and health protection resulting from

the reduction in exhaust emissions has become an important driver for the

development of new generations of internal combustion engines. This is

a dynamic process, of which there is no end in sight. For engines in mo-

bile machines, the EU’s emissions standard V is currently i n the process of

passing into legislation. With this new standard, Europe has taken on the

role of global pioneer.

standard, this began specifically in Jan-uary 2013 with a so-called Public Stake-holder Consultation. This means nothingmore than the fact that the EU Commis-sion has published a paper in which theideas relating to the Law Amendment aresketched out and with which the stake-holders – for example environmental or-ganisations, producer associations suchas EUROMOT and representatives ofthe EU Member States – were invited tosubmit their comments and input. Withrespect to the V standard, the Commis-sion received almost 70 written replies.On the basis of this Public StakeholderConsultation process, the draft law wascreated, which will probably be adoptedby the Commission in the autumn of2014 and submitted to the EuropeanParliament. Theoretically, the process

envisaged for the work of the Parlia-ment is comparatively complex, withup to three readings in the EuropeanParliament and the European Council,as well as the possible convening of aConciliation Committee. However, fromthe perspective of the manufacturers,the adoption of the new Directive onthe EU V standard for mobile machineswould be desirable after the first readingin order to have planning certainty at anearly stage and be able to set bindingdevelopment targets.

The EU as a pioneer

Making engines with the latest tech-nology ready for production is the taskat DEUTZ of the R&D Division headedby Dr Ralf Marquard. Dr Markus Müller,who within R&D manages the systemintegration application and certification,explains the importance of the forth-coming EU V standard: ‘With thisstandard, Europe will adopt a pio-

neering role in the future. Among theUS authorities CARB and EPA, onthe other hand, there are currently novisible steps towards the introductionof a Tier 5.’ As soon as the EU Vstandard has been put into force, thiswill probably result in new momentumin North America for the introduction ofa new Tier V emission standard in themedium term. Of course the enginemanufacturers are always interested inthe greatest possible degree of harmo-nisation of the legislation in the variousregions in order to be able to offer themarket inexpensive technologies. It is ofcourse true that for Europe, the require-ments which the engine manufacturers

have had to fulfil in the period from theintroduction of the EU I/II standards tothe upcoming V standard have con-tinued to increase. The IV standard willalso be considered a milestone in emis-sions reduction in the future, as upon itcoming into force there was a reductionof approximately 95% for both nitrogenoxides and particulate emissions (com-pared to the I standard). With the intro-duction of new EU standards, existinglimits have been tightened gradually, butabove all new requirements have beenconstantly added. A new feature of the Vstandard will be, amongst other things,a particle number limit for engines upto 560 kW – that is the power range inwhich DEUTZ engines are produced.

The limit is to be 1x1012 particles/kWh.

DEUTZ getting ready for the V standard

As a further innovation, the EU V stand-ard will provide for a reporting systemon the measurement of the actual emis-sions in the field (‘In-Service Conform-ity’). Knut Feisel, who closely followsall developments in emissions legis-lation on behalf of DEUTZ, explains:‘With respect to in-service conformity,

as a manufacturer we will be requiredto carry out corresponding tests anddetermine a so-called conformity factorfor each engine family. The results of thein-service conformity tests will probablybe collated in a database and thereforemade transparent. However, a limitingvalue for the conformity factor has notyet been defined. If necessary, after theintroduction of the V emission standard,the law will probably specify a bindingvalue that takes into account the datacollected.’

DEUTZ has been closely following andprovided advice on the road to introduc-ing the V standard. The new requirementto count the particles in particular doesnot represent a problem for the compa-ny or its customers. The reason for this i s

that the DEUTZ engines already include– especially in the medium displacementrange – the relevant technology for thisin the form of enclosed particle filters.One challenge at a later time – not onlyfor DEUTZ, but for all manufacturers –will on the other hand be the in-serviceconformity, since its specific form – asalready mentioned – remains to be seen.

In the last few years, numerous lightrailcars have appeared on the market,which have been further developedto be customer and environmentally-friendly. One of the most successfulvehicles is the articulated GTW railcar ofthe firm Stadler Rail AG, whose head-quarters are in Bussnang, Switzerland.Stadler is a manufacturer of rail vehicleswhich was founded in 1942 and whosemain focus is on regional rail car trainsets, trams and customised one-off pro-ductions. The first GTW, which had beendeveloped as a modular rail vehicle,was produced in the 1990s. During thecourse of the following years, the mod-ular vehicle concept would prove to bea guarantee of success, as it was pos-sible to cover the various requirements

The low floor area, whichis tailored to the height of the platforms,is more than 75%. Based on a definedstandard, the basic equipment can beindividually supplemented and adapted.

DMU-GTW with the powerful DEUTZTCD 16.0 V8 engine

A further development are the 33 GTW,which were handed over approximately2 years ago by Stadler to Arriva in theNetherlands: 24 of the diesel-electric ar-ticulated railcars (DMU-GTW) are usedin Acherhoek-Rivierenland (operatedby Arriva) and nine for SAN Konzession

in Arnhem (operated by Connexxion).Compared to the GTW vehicles of Arrivawhich were already in use, the vehicleshave been converted in various areas.For example, these vehicles have amodern environmentally-friendly drivesystem, amongst other things. The newtrains have the environmentally-friendly

TCD 16.0 V8 DEUTZ engine which fulfilsthe level 3B emissions standard.

The powerful TCD 16.0 V8 engine is awater-cooled 8-cylinder engine whichproduces 350 to 520 kW for the 3B / Tier4 interim emission standard. Equippedwith a turbocharger and charge aircooling and wet cylinder liners, the

TCD 16.0 produces a maximum torqueof 2890 Nm at a speed of 1400 rpm,impressing with its optimum machine

performance. The modern electroniccommon rail injection system with 2000bar reduces the emission of pollutants incombination with an SCR exhaust aftertreatment system. Due to the compactconstruction of the V engine, the cus-tomer makes considerable savings interms of the installation space, therebyreducing the installation costs.

However, the DMU-GTW engines im-press not only from the economic andenvironmental aspects - they are meansof transport which are very passenger-

friendly. The trains are air-conditionedand feature a low-floor area of 75%. Thedistance between the seats in all com-partments is very generous. Up to fourtrains can operate together under multi-ple-unit control. Furthermore, the trainshave been designed in accordance withthe TSI technical standard for disabled

access – in short: everything imaginablehas been made possible here for thepassenger.

We successfully cover urbantransport with the two vehicle families of the Variobahn and Tango.

Railcars and articulated railcars are driven railway vehicles which also offer spacefor passengers and freight. In contrast, locomotives which are used for the transport ofcoupled wagons do not offer such separate space for transportation, with the exceptionof locomotives with luggage compartments. As long ago as 1854, a steam trolley witha passenger compartment was used on the Berlin-Hamburg Railway. This was thefirst steam-powered railcar. Subsequently, railcars were first used for tram operations;after the disappearance of the horse-drawn tram, they were used as the virtually ex-clusive means of transport, to which additional motor less cars were soon coupled. An

articulated railcar consists of several articulated box elements which are saddled in thesame way as the Stadler GTW. In 1997, t he first Stadler GTW was put into operation inthe Swiss Canton of Berne.

Schäffer Maschinenfabrik from Erwitte isone of the most important and success-ful suppliers of yard, wheel and tele wheel

loaders. The Schäffer loaders are worldleaders, especially for applications in thefields of agriculture and biogas. The corecompetence of the company includes ar-ticulated loaders of between 20 and 210hp. Overall, Schäffer offers 80 modelsand has so far sold 65,000 loaders. Theimage of a robust, solid machine enjoyedby the loaders is attributable not least totheir powerful engines. For a good 20years, Schäffer has been using DEUTZengines for its engines of more than 100hp, as well as HENKELHAUSEN as asupplier and service partner.

‘What we appreciate about the DEUTZengines is their reliability and long servicelife. For our agricultural clientele, their lowconsumption and simple maintenance isan important argument,’ explains SalesManager Richard Bremenkamp, adding:‘In addition, DEUTZ engines are very wellprepared for certain options on the loader,such as the air brake or air conditioning.’

Compact design with cleaner per-formance

HENKELHAUSEN attributes the signif-icant consolidation of the business re-lationship to the Tier 4 final emissionsstandard, which comes into force inOctober 2014. With immediate effect,Schäffer will be using a new DEUTZengine: the TCD 3.6 L4. From Tier 4final, a power increase of 8% to 97 kWis possible.

From a business point of view, this isexceptionally good news: The demandfor DEUTZ engines is increasing. Thisapplies, amongst other things, to the twonewest engines in the range, the TCD2.9 and TCD 3.6 series. However, when

demand increases within a short time,this brings with it a challenge or two.

Specifically, the R&D and Production Di-visions at DEUTZ are currently analysinghow to increase the engine throughputin the test field in hall 40 at the parentplant in the Cologne suburb of Porz.

This recently reached its capacity li mit.

In other words: It was becoming i ncreas-ingly difficult for DEUTZ to guarantee its

c on s t r u c t i onprogramme. Inorder to remedythe situation, amajor projectwas started inNovember 2013under the aus-pices of DivisionManager DrRalf Marquard(Development)and WilfriedRiemann (Pro-duction), the

implementation of which will last until2015. This provides for six steps, someof which run simultaneously: optimisingthe running in programme for the en-gines, partially equipping the test bedswith modern measuring equipment, en-suring the permanent supply of enginesto the test beds through the driverlesstransport vehicles, set-optimisationthrough re-timing, reduction of checksand – the quintessence of the whole, soto speak – improving the availability ofthe system.

The opportunity to gain more timeand capacity

In the meantime the cross-division-al team has been very successful incompleting the ‘engine running in pro-gramme’ project. This started with theanalysis of the current situation. Up tonow, the project has been conductedas follows: In accordance with a spec-ified acceptance test instruction, everyDEUTZ engine is tested ‘hot’ in the testfield. The cycle for this takes five min-utes. The test essentially consists of twosteps: In the first two minutes the en-gine is preconditioned to its subsequent

wear behaviour. This is carried out bymeans of phases of the run at idlingspeed which are very precisely definedin terms of time, then at a nominal speedwhich is 2600 rpm for the TCD 2.9 and

TCD 3.6, as well as a phase under a fullload at 1200 rpm. In the subsequentsecond step, which takes three minutes,the engine is warmed up at a constantnominal speed. As a result, at the endof the running in programme and be-ginning of the documentation cycle itis in a hot condition. ‘In the area of thenominal power point, i.e. in the last t hreeminutes of the running in programme,we have seen potential to save time inthe cycle,’ explains Dr Jörg Thiemann,Head of the Basic Engine Mechanicsin the R&D Division at DEUTZ. Anotheremployee in the R&D Division is his col-

league Thomas Pickenhan, who was incharge of preparing and implementingthis step. Other colleagues who wereinvolved were from the three specialistdevelopment areas of thermodynamics,series design and quality. The Produc-tion Department supported the TestField Manager Alfred Jaeger in the formof Jürgen Schmidt, Christian Wilbert,Helge Herbst and Patrick Kohlweg.

Quality assurance always to the fore

For their investigations into the pos-sibility of shortening the running-in pro-gramme, the DEUTZ experts used threetypes of engines from the TCD 2.9 and

TCD 3.6 ranges: Firstly, those which hadundergone the entire conventional testprogram of five minutes. Secondly, anengine which had been subjected to acycle shortened to two minutes in thetest field. And finally – as an extremetest, so to speak – ‘green’ engines takendirectly from the assembly department

without any running in programme. Witheach of them the employees carried outoil consumption runs, then measuredthe nominal power and performed a fullacceptance cycle. This procedure wasrepeated twice in order to determine theeffects of the changed acceptance con-ditions. The conclusion: The shorteningof the running-in programme and re-stricting the documentation cycle to thenominal power and low idle speed doesnot result in any increase in oil consump-tion. The differences observed are withinthe measurement tolerance range. Evenif the running-in process was completelyomitted, there was no discernible neg-ative influence on the power output of

the engine. Although the oil consump-tion increased in this trial, it remainedbelow the permitted limit stated in theelectronic logbook for the engine con-figuration ( ELTAB).

With the shortening of the overall cyclefrom 5 to 2 minutes, which has been im-plemented in the meantime for the en-tire range of engines, DEUTZ has oncemore followed its motto of: trusting inthe quality and consistency of one’sown products is good, but control isbetter. A 10/90 arrangement has there-fore been introduced: 10% of the en-gines continued to be subjected to theconventional acceptance cycle, as anongoing random sample so to speak. Ifdiscrepancies are found, the employeescan react immediately.

Figures that speak for themselves

Alfred Jaeg er, the Head of t he DEUTZtest field, is very satisfied with t he projectand has the statistics at hand whichprove its success: ‘Up to now we havehad a capacity of 21 engi nes an hour onour test beds. Simply by reducing therunning in period, we have been able toincrease this number to 25. If i n the nextpart of the project we modernise ourstock of driverless engine transporters,which will probably take place in thefirst quarter of 2015, we can achieve acapacity of 31 engines an hour.’ If onetakes 240 working days a year as thebasis for three-shift operations, DEUTZhas the possibility of reducing the ac-ceptance time and thereby testing morethan 7200 additional engines per annumin its test field. The expected value interms of resource savings is also im-pressive. Alfred Jaeger: On the basis of70,000 tested engines every year, we

can expect to save around 50,000 L ofdiesel.’ Above, however, the importantaspect is: The company saves in theright area. Customers can continue torely on the tried and tested DEUTZ qual-ity and on the fact that each individualproject is carefully tested, accepted anddocumented. With the shortening of therunning-in cycle, DEUTZ has taken animportant step to continue supplyingits customers punctually in spite of theincreasing demand.

Every engine that leaves theDEUTZ plant is subjected toa hot test, with its parametersbeing documented. Nothing haschanged. However, the expertsfrom the Production and Devel-opment Divisions took advantageof the opportunity to optimisethe acceptance runs of the newTCD 2.9 and TCD 3.6 engineseries in the test field in termsof the time required and therebyincrease the throughput. A meas-ure which will benefit customersin the form of prompt delivery.

Anyone who produces economically is not only acting in their own interests, but alsoin the interests of their customers. Resource shortages and increasing environmentalrequirements have made electrical energy a cost driver, amongst others. DEUTZ iscounteracting this with its energy management system.

This topic should be well known toDEUTZ INSIDE readers from Germanyin particular: Here in Germany there is a‘Law for the priority of renewable ener-gies’, EEG for short, which regulates thepreferred supply of electricity from renew-able sources into the grids and guaran-tees its generators fixed remuneration.

As a matter of principle, this is not onlya good thing, but also urgently needed:First of all, the use of nuclear energy nolonger enjoys the necessary consensusamongst politicians and society as awhole. Secondly, fossil fuels are in shortsupply, not to mention the high levels ofemissions that occur when natural re-sources are ‘converted into electricity’.From the ecological aspect, there is noway around the use of renewable energysources. In economic terms, on the other

hand, the EEG has become the subject of a heated debate. Since so-calledgreen electricity is relatively expensive toproduce, it is subsidised through the EEGlevy which – as a matter of principle – hasto be paid by all electricity consumers,i.e. households and businesses. Forcompanies which use large amounts ofelectricity, such as foundries, the Germanlegislature provides for a high degree ofexemption from the EEG levy in ordernot to place these businesses at a dis-advantage in the international competitionand secure jobs in Germany. There areregular very critical reports in the mediaabout the fact that various companiesare attempting to be classified as ‘largeelectricity users’ irrespective of the indus-trial sector to which they belong and theirbusiness segment. DEUTZ consciouslyrefuses to take advantage of this loopholeand instead applies the principle of ‘Madein Germany’, as well as responsibility forsociety, the environment and jobs, withoutdemanding that Germany as a business

location should only provide economicbenefits.

Energy management and energymonitoring

As the DEUTZ locations are not classifiedas being energy-intensive, the companyhas been affected in recent years by theconstant rises in the EEG levy, whichtoday represents a large share of the elec-tricity price. The route to cost reductioncan therefore only be achieved by savingenergy. And DEUTZ ensures this not insome random manner, but in a struc-tured, institutionalised and documentedway with its energy management system

(EnMS) according to ISO 50001:2011.DEUTZ AG was first certified according tothis standard in November 2013 for its sitein the Deutz suburb of Cologne. In April2014 the ISO certificate was extended tocover all German locations. After gainingpositive experience over several monthswith the energy management system, Ul-rike Fitz, EnMS Officer at DEUTZ, sums upas follows: ‘Before certification, a system-atic analysis was carried out of our energygenerators, consumers and supply struc-tures. The core question: Who consumeswhat when and what for? Similarly, actionplans were drawn up together with thein-house energy management teams thathave been formed in order to achieve ourenergy goals. An example: Level of ener-gy efficiency will play a major role in spec-ifying which machines and equipment are

to be procured.’ A key factor is: Energymanagement does not end with the issueof the certificate. Instead, DEUTZ has de-veloped an energy monitoring system forthe continuous collection and analysis ofconsumption. This happened, for exam-ple, through the installation of additionalelectricity and heat meters.

The route to an integrated manage-ment system

Today, DEUTZ has three different ISO cer-tificates. Apart from the EnMS, these arethe certification according to ISO 9001for quality management and ISO 14,001for environmental management. In 2011the certification dates for ISO 9001 and14001 were merged in order to reducethe resources required in the auditedareas. Until then, certification had beencarried out on different dates every year.

This placed a double burden on managersand employees. The harmonisation of theregulations, such as the manuals and pro-

cedural instructions, was also taken intoaccount in this merger. When ISO 50001for the EnMS was added in 2013, the ideaof an integrated management system(IMS) received an additional boost. DEUTZbundles all of its certification requirementsunder its roof. This means: There is onestandard, one common manual, one datefor certification and one certification com-pany. The advantages are self-evident:even the costs of certification itself can bereduced with the help of the IMS, not tomention the efficiency gains that arise as aconsequence. With the joint developmentof an integrated management system, theCorporate Quality Department under themanagement of Bernd Kodinger and the

Facility Management Department underMichael Biendara have initiated a processin which further steps are pending: Afterthe existing certifications, OHSAS 18001is to follow for safety at work.

Ecological and economicaction in harmony

DEUTZ AG with certified energy management system according to ISO 50001

Saving energy within the company – ev-erybody’s business. And all employeescan contribute to this. In order to fur-ther increase our colleagues’ awarenessof this topic, the EnMS team at DEUTZhas started the ‘Green Building Monitor’(GBM) project. This computer-aided in-formation system makes it possible tocommunicate the latest energy dataand other information from the DEUTZenergy monitoring system, which alsocorresponds to a technical standardrequirement of ISO 50001. Implemen-tation is as follows: In the future, em-ployees can use the flat screen of theGBM in the entrance area of the canteenat the DEUTZ parent plant in Cologne in

the suburb of Porz to learn about thelatest energy consumption levels of thecompany, amongst other things, as wellas receiving tips on how to save energyin the workplace and learn about meas-ures from the EnMS that have alreadybeen implemented. This makes thefollowing clear: Energy saving at DEUTZworks – and is worth while!

Matthias Kesting works in the de-velopment test centre at DEUTZ

AG. Here he is also training as atechnician in electrical engineer-ing, data processing and processautomation.

The main focus of his department is thetest bed service. Amongst other things,fuel flow meters, or PLU for short, arecalibrated here at certain intervals. PLUsare used on all development test beds inorder to measure continuous flow ratesof the diesel engines. Here it is impor-tant to obtain highly accurate data onfuel consumption of an engine, as thisis a crucial aspect for the successful

development of a DEUTZ engine!

In order to counteract unplanned down-times, quality reductions and productrecalls as a result of inaccurate fuel con-sumption data, it is important to carryout regular calibrations of the fuel flowmeters (PLUs) to sustainably ensurebetter quality and customer satisfaction.Many factors, for example the lengthof use, the ambient conditions andthe load placed on the PLUs, result ininaccuracies in the measurements overthe course of time. In order to carry outmore flexible and cost efficient calibra-tions, the company decided at an earlystage to develop its own calibration fa-cility in the area of test field services forthe development of PLUs. As part of theprocurement process for new fuel flowmeters with an increased flow rate andthe time-consuming manual operation,it was necessary to expand the existingcalibration unit. As the conversion ofthe 15-year-old plant would have been

almost as expensive as the constructionof a new system, it was decided to pur-chase a new PLU calibration facility.

Brief summary of the operating prin-ciple:

The new PLU calibration facility ishoused in an enclosed system in orderto selectively extract fuel vapours andheat by suction. In this system, bothmanual and fully automatic operation arepossible. Programming was carried outwith a scientific graphical developmentenvironment for measurement and con-trol tasks. Through the use of this latesttechnology and an optimised program

structure, it is possible to obtain evenmore accurate measurement results. Toobtain highly consistent temperatureswith a deviation of 0°C during the meas-urement process, a temperature bath isused which is connected to a fin cooler.

The con-stant tem-perature isimportant,as thedensity de-pends onthe tem-perature ofthe fuel.

In contrastto the density of water, the density offuel is much more temperature-depend-

ent. Through a small centrifugal pumpthe fuel is passed through the system.

A density meter continuously measuresthe current density of the fuel. The fuelquantities to be pumped are regulatedby two proportional valves that work to-gether with the pump. In order to keepthe fuel temperature constant also be-fore the inlet to the PLU, a double-walledpipe has been developed. This is firstflowed through the external circuit of t hecooled fuel in order to keep the temper-ature of the fuel flowing to the PLU con-stant, which is significantly influencedby proportional valves and the ambienttemperature. Via a lever arm specificallydeveloped for this task, which is con-nected to a solenoid, the medium isdripped at the start of the measurementinto a vessel located on a high-precisionlaboratory balance. The volume that isnow collected in the vessel is now cal-culated with the pulses added togetherduring the measurement. Furthermore,the fuel temperature and density are

included in the calculation. The meas-urement results are automatically storedin a program specifically developed forthis purpose.During the cal-ibration, theactual meas-ured value isthen comparedwith a prede-termined refer-ence value andthe result usedto adapt oradjust the fuelflow meter. Themeasurement

devices calibrated in this way return tothe development test bed and ensurethe high quality of the fuel measure-ments.

Through the automatic PLU calibrati onsystem it has been possible to signifi-cantly increase the calibration accuracythanks to improved measurement tech-nology and a higher level of indepen-dence of the human factor. This is afurther contribution of the test centre toincreasing the quality and efficiency ofengine development at DEUTZ AG.

Every drop countsDevelopment of an automatic PLU calibration system

The measuring device (PLU) worksaccording to the measurement and op-erating principle of a servo-controlleddisplacement meter. With the help of an

optical scan-ning system,the move-ment andposition ofa piston aredetermined.

The signalfrom thelight sensoris convertedinto a volt-

age, which in conjunction with the elec-tronics regulates the speed of the servo

drive. At the same time, the speed of theflow meter is regulated according to theposition of the piston in such a way thatthe integral flow proportionately followsthe speed of the flow meter. The speedis detected by the encoder and serves asa signal for the flow rate.

Winfried Langner from the Lower Saxony town of Lauenförde has become famous as ‘DEUTZ Willi’. Numeroustelevision stations have reported on the pensioner, tinkerer and jet setter. He has already been on the GüntherJauch show. DEUTZ INSIDE visited him at home to share his enthusiasm for travel.

2014 – in Bavaria with his over 50-year-old tractor. For 2015 a tour to the NorthCape is planned.

‘It’s quite simple: passion and love’

How did all of this come about? Wheredoes a pensioner from the quiet town ofLauenförde in the District of Holzmindenin the South of Lower Saxony get theidea of travelling these long distances ona veteran agricultural machine?

‘It’s quite simple: passion and love’,explains Langner in conversation withDEUTZ INSIDE. ‘As a construction ma-chine mechanic I was always travelling,and have been everywhere. That wasmy mission in life. Whether excavators ortrucks, I have serviced, maintained andrepaired everything. As a pensioner I car-ried on and bought myself the old tractor.

That was a hard job!’, explains Langner.In 2006 the job was done: the machinewas ready to use and Winfried Langnerwas christened ‘DEUTZ Willi’.

His wife Annemarie Langner also enjoyedtravelling, especially to the south, to theirfavourite island of Mallorca. In 2012 shedied after falling ill two years previously.

Annemarie and Winfried were marriedfor over 50 years. After his beloved wifehad died, he decided to visit her favou-rite place. Together with the tractor fanErwin Stahlmann from Hildesheim, heset off on his journey. Several cameracrews and even more spectators werethere to see the two men off. The MDRtelevision company considered the trip
