John Deere leads Stage V transition with depth of DPF experience

Expertise with DPF technology and innovations in aftertreatment design deliver smaller and lighter solutions

MUNICH, Germany (April 11, 2016) — John Deere Power Systems is prepared today to lead

OEMs through the transition from Stage IV to anticipated Stage V regulations with proven

experience and expertise.

The John Deere modular building block approach to emission control is proven and has led

to a DPF solution that is capable of complying with the requirements indicated in the EU

Commission’s proposal COM (2014)581 concerning Stage V emissions. One of the

significant impacts expected of Stage V will be the introduction of a particle number (PN)

limit for engines in the 19 kW to 560 kW power band, which will necessitate use of DPF

(diesel particulate filter) technology by OEMs. John Deere has been employing DPF

technology since Interim Tier 4/Stage III B, with more than 150 million DPF hours logged in

the field.

John Deere is leveraging new catalyst technologies and emissions control calibrations to

enable downsizing of their aftertreatment. OEMs benefit by retaining the same engine

performance in a reduced package size. The next generation aftertreatment solutions from

John Deere will deliver greater package flexibility and offer easier installation while

providing up to a 20 percent reduction in size and up to 40 percent reduction in weight.

“John Deere adopted DPF technology as part of an integrated emission control system

because it is the best solution for most applications. By treating NOx and PM downstream of

the engine, John Deere engines with DPF are optimized for increased torque response, lowspeed

torque, and fluid efficiency; and provide responsive power at higher altitudes,” said

John Piasecki, director of marketing, sales and customer support for John Deere Power

Systems.

John Deere Power Systems has extensive experience with the development and integration

of DPF technology in both John Deere and OEM equipment through Stage III B and Stage IV

implementation. This experience continues to lead to enhancements in efficiency and

optimization of aftertreatment solutions that strengthen application flexibility for OEM

customers.

“This depth of diverse application experience extends throughout our distributor network

and with all John Deere service dealers; they have a comfort level with DPF technology

because John Deere has been using it for years,” Piasecki said.

Piasecki said John Deere recognizes as Stage V approaches, OEMs new to DPF technology

may be worried it will add installation complexity or impact operational performance. “We

are committed to helping OEMs through every step of the application process to make it as

seamless as possible,” Piasecki said. “We are well positioned to transfer our experience level

directly to our customers, giving them peace of mind and a distinct advantage in the

process. John Deere has expertise in integrating the engine and drivetrain into the rest of

the vehicle for optimized performance, operator convenience, fluid economy and overall

value.”

John Deere is prepared for the growing complexity in world emissions standards; by 2022,

there may be at least five different levels of emissions standards globally. “We are fully

committed to supporting our customers around the world with solutions to meet their

unique application needs,” said Geoff Stigler, director – sales, marketing and customer

support – EAME, ASIA and AU for John Deere Power Systems. “OEMs, regardless of location,

are best served through timely and strategic preparation, and John Deere is ready to help

them identify and implement the best solutions for their business. Our modular building

block approach offers greater application flexibility to help OEMs meet increasingly

challenging machine design goals.”
