Deutz AG has announced that it will unveil its new TCD 2.2 diesel and gas engine as well as the new gas variant of TCD 2.9. This year, at a stand occupying 400 square metres, DEUTZ will be giving the new TCD 2.2 its premiere. This 2.2-litre engine, a three-cylinder variant of the successful TCD 2.9 four-cylinder engine, will expand the independent engine manufacturer's offering in the lower power output range. The TCD 2.2, with a rating of up to 55kW, will be particularly suitable for applications in material handling and compact construction equipment.

What's special about the engine is that it will be available in both a diesel and a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) variant. The gas variant will produce up to 42kW and is a genuine first within DEUTZ's otherwise diesel-only product range. The TCD 2.2 will go into series production in 2019 when the EU Stage V emissions standard comes into force.

And because all TCD 2.2 and 2.9 variants are based on the same engine platform, customers will benefit from extensive synergies when it comes to integration, for example with regard to connections and spare parts. This will save on costs and development work. DEUTZ will also be presenting an LPG variant of its successful TCD 2.9 engine at bauma.

The engine will produce up to 55kW and have a similar size and configuration to its diesel equivalent. Here too, customers will benefit from the use of the same engine platform when it comes to integrating the engines into existing applications. The new gas variants - called G 2.2 and G 2.9 - mark DEUTZ's entry into a line of business that offers significant future potential, with LPG engines offering a number of advantages.
