Claas will fit the new MTU Series 1000 to 1500 engines to its Lexion and Tucano combine-harvesters, its Jaguar forage harvesters and its 4×4 high-horsepower Xerion tractors.
These engines, based on Daimler commercial vehicle engines, cover a broad power range from 134hp to 643hp. The engines will comply with the EU’s Stage V emissions standard, due to come into force in 2019. “With an eye on, among other things, the EU Stage V emissions directive, we’ve decided in favour of these tried-and-trusted engines from MTU to power a large proportion of our vehicles,” said Bernd Kleffmann, head of systems engineering development at Claas. “We already have more than 10 field-trial vehicles fitted with EU Stage V MTU engines and are very satisfied with them.”
Bernd Krüper, vice-president of industrial business at MTU, said: “We’re delighted at winning one of the most renowned agricultural machinery manufacturers for the EU Stage V engines we’ve introduced. This is a continuation of our success story with Claas.”
