BAUMA 2019 SPEZIAL

10 DEUTZ IS REPOSITIONING ITS DRIVE SYSTEM PORTFOLIO AND WILL BE OFFERING A MODULAR RANGE OF DIFFERENT TECHNOL- OGIES IN THE FUTURE. THE NEW MODULAR PRODUCT KIT MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR DIESEL, GAS, HYBRID AND ELECTRIC DRIVE SYS- TEMS TO BE INDIVIDUALLY CON- FIGURED AND FITTED PRECISELY. KOBELCO IS AMONG THE FIRST CUSTOMERS AND HAS SELECTED AN E-DEUTZ DRIVE SYSTEM. The goal of the modular product strategy by DEUTZ is to be able to react more flexibly and faster to technological developments. The benefit of modularization is reflected in a reduction of design and development expenditures while ensuring a shorter “time to market”. In a modular world, only the relevant components or modules that are subject to technological advancement are adjusted – not the entire system. Marco Herre, Head of Global Product Management & Business Development at DEUTZ, explains: “Our approach can also be transferred to the demands of our customers. The drive system is part of, or rather a module of the overall system of the customer applica- tion. With the modular product kit, we offer the required flexibility that is necessary to be able to respond quickly to changing market requirements for drive systems.” DEUTZ INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES MODULAR PRODUCT KIT PRINCIPLE
