DEUTZWorld - Edition 3 - 2017

2 DEUTZ WORLD 3 I 2017 3 EDITORIAL CONTENTS Dear readers, We recently told you about our acquisition of Torqeedo GmbH, the pioneering global market leader in the field of marine elec- tromobility. This acquisition allows DEUTZ to leverage the op- portunities arising from the rapid developments in the market for alternative drives. Our existing range of innovative drive systems will be supplemented by the E-DEUTZ strategy, which focuses on the development and production of hybrid and electrified drives for off-highway applications. In our feature article starting on page 6, Dr Frank Hiller (CEO of DEUTZ) and Dr Christoph Ballin (CEO of Torqeedo) discuss DEUTZ’ future position as a market leader for innovative drive systems in the off-highway segment and grant an insight into the pioneering solutions the company is developing already. DEUTZ is taking a first step towards partial electrification with its mild-hybrid drive system based on a compact diesel engine. The goal behind this 48-volt hybrid model is to downsize the diesel engine by adding a supporting e-machine. Turn to page 10 to find out what benefits our customers derive from this inno- vative system – saving fuel is just one of them. You can also get an idea of our E-DEUTZ strategy for electric drive solutions in person: between 12 and 18 November, DEUTZ will be operating a booth at Agritechnica in Hanover, the world’s largest agricul- tural exhibition. Visitors to our booth will get an exclusive look at our Stage-V-certified engine range, which has been awarded the world’s first Stage-V certificate by the Federal Motor Vehicle Transport Authority (page 14), and our new in-line engines with a cubic capacity of 9–18 litres, which will expand the output range of our engines to 620 kW (page 16). This issue of DEUTZWorld also focuses on: “DEUTZ Connect” – the new app for mobile engine diagnostics. Our report on page 18 will tell you all about the benefits our versatile service tool offers our customers. We care about our customers. The increasing technical com- plexity of the engine business requires us to stay in ever closer contact with them, so we have carried out another strategic acquisition. By acquiring our long-standing Italian sales and service partner IML Motori, we have invested in our international growth and the expansion of the profitable service business. Read our article on page 20 to find out about the favourable synergies generated by the close partnership of DEUTZ and its Italian subsidiary. DEUTZ is a reliable partner to its customers – the global popu- larity of our engines proves it. When the Indonesian government decided to expand its existing electricity network, they soon found an excellent partner in DEUTZ. Turn to page 22 for an ex- citing story about newly built bridges, coconut trees and tricky transport routes for our units. We hope you enjoy reading this issue!
