John Deere announces lineup of Stage V ready engines

OEM customers benefit from proven integration experience and expertise for Stage V transition

WATERLOO, Iowa (December 8, 2016) — John Deere Power Systems announces its lineup

of Stage V ready engines to meet the recently implemented European Union (EU) Stage V

emissions regulations. Leveraging new catalyst technologies, emissions control calibrations

and next generation aftertreatment solutions, John Deere PowerTech™ engines will deliver

greater package flexibility and offer easier installation over previous John Deere engines.

The John Deere lineup of Stage V ready engines is optimized for increased torque response,

low-speed torque, fluid efficiency, and provides responsive power at higher altitudes. The

lineup of Stage V ready engines from John Deere includes engine displacements of 2.9L,

4.5L, 6.8L, 9.0L and 13.5L with ratings of 36 – 448 kW (48 – 600 hp).

“John Deere is committed to helping OEMs through every step of the application process,”

said Martin Ryley, manager, marketing services and sales engineering Europe, Africa and

Middle East and John Deere Power Systems. “We are well positioned to transfer our

experience from various applications and operating conditions directly to our customers,

giving them peace of mind. OEMs, regardless of location, are best served through timely

2

and strategic preparation, and John Deere is ready to help them identify and implement the

best solutions for their business.”

OEMs will benefit from the continual product improvements and advancements John Deere

is making by retaining the same engine performance in a reduced package size. John Deere

achieved reduced package sizes with next generation aftertreatment solutions that provide

up to a 39 percent reduction in size and 57 percent reduction in weight.

Ryley added that to achieve Stage V emissions levels for engines in the 19 kW to 560 kW

power band, manufacturers will have to use DPF technology. “John Deere has been

employing DPF technology since Interim Tier 4/Stage III B, resulting in more than 425

million hours of field experience,” Ryley said. “We have demonstrated and proven the use of

DPF technology in our engines for many internal and external off-highway applications, and

will continually refine our system to make enhancements that strengthen application

flexibility for OEM customers.”

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

of DPF technology in both John Deere and OEM equipment through Interim Tier 4/Stage III

B and Final Tier 4/Stage IV implementation. OEMs new to the technology will be able to

leverage the John Deere experience as they transition to Stage V.

“Our experience with DPF technology clearly sets a benchmark in the industry that positions

John Deere as a leader capable of helping customers seamlessly transition to Stage V,”

Ryley said. “That depth of experience extends throughout our distributor network and with

all John Deere service dealers, giving us a distinct advantage.”

Moving forward, John Deere will look for additional opportunities to make improvements to

existing technology. This will lead to the development of new engine offerings that will

continue to meet emissions regulations, while providing the reliable, durable products

customers have come to expect from John Deere.

For OEM customers developing applications not impacted by Stage V regulations, John

Deere continues to offer its Integrated Emissions Control system in various configurations.

“The modular building block approach offered by the John Deere Integrated Emissions

Control system offers greater application flexibility to help OEMs meet increasingly

challenging machine design goals necessitated by the growing complexity in world

emissions standards,” added Ryley.
