LONDON, March 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- FPT
Industrial, the global powertrain business of CNH Industrial (NYSE:
CNHI /MI: CNHI), has signed a long term partnership with Liebherr
Machines Bulle SA to supply tailor-made engines for its
construction machinery portfolio. FPT Industrial was chosen for
both its high performing products and its ability to provide
Liebherr Machines Bulle with customized solutions.
The engine supply concerns the Tier 4 final / Stage IV compliant
version of the NEF series N45 engines equipped with HI-eSCR. This
specifically designed version of the N45 is a 4.5-liter,
four-cylinder in-line engine providing 130 kilowatts of power. It
features state-of-the-art technologies, such as the latest
generation Common Rail injection system, and is characterized by
high power and high torque, especially at low revolutions per
minute, ideal for increasing productivity in construction
applications.
To ensure compliance with Tier 4 final / Stage IV emissions
levels, the engine adopts FPT Industrial's patented High Efficiency
SCR (HI-eSCR) system, which reduces Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions
by more than 95% through the use of SCR only; with no need for
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or a diesel particulate filter
(DPF). For countries requiring the adoption of filters, a DPF can
be added to the HI-eSCR system, which makes the solution Stage V
ready.
Based on the requirements provided by Liebherr and FPT
Industrial's experience and know-how, the technical features make
the specifically-developed engine stand out for its efficiency,
robustness and quality, allowing it to achieve high performance in
terms of load response, maximum torque and power. Meanwhile, the
engine also delivers low fuel consumption and long maintenance
intervals to ensure low operating costs.
Founded in 1949, Liebherr is one of the world's largest
manufacturers of construction machinery and market leader in many
other industries such as mining, high-performance cranes, concrete
technology, machine tools and automation systems, aerospace and
transportation systems, domestic appliances, and hotels.
