Stage V successfully implemented
MTU Series 1000, 1100, 1300 and 1500 engines received their certificates of compliance with EU Stage V emission requirements in March 2018 and have been available as standard production engines since June 2018.
Based on Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle engines, these engines cover a power range of 115 to 480 kW. The new requirements are exceeded thanks to internal engine enhancements and the inclusion of an extra diesel particulate filter as well as an SCR system to reduce NOx emissions. At the same time, the engines' fuel consumption has been reduced by up to 3%, with CO2 emissions also down by around the same amount.
After nearly 110,000 hours of field testing, the first MTU Stage V engines have already been installed in a wide variety of vehicles built by manufacturers such as Claas, Agco Fendt, Same Deutz-Fahr, Grimme and Ponsse.
As well as their EU Stage V approvals, MTU engines are also certified to the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 'Tier 4 final' emissions requirements. This dual certification gives vehicle manufacturers full flexibility when selling into their markets.
