hot newsbauma 2013: World's Most Advanced Diesel Power To Be Unveiled at Global Construction Expo in Munich.
Munich - As the world’s largest construction equipment exposition - bauma 2013 - gets underway this week in Munich, the most advanced innovations and achievements of clean diesel power for construction and mining equipment will be at the forefront.
“Construction equipment and industrial earth moving machines are at first glance breathtaking in just sheer size and scope,” said Allen Schaeffer, the Executive Director of the Diesel Technology Forum. “Once you get beyond that, what is truly amazing is what’s at the heart of these amazing machines – the diesel engine which enables these machines to meet the increasing demands of both established and developing economies around the world.
“What we’re seeing now is what sustainability for clean diesel power really means - meeting near-zero emissions requirements under U.S. EPA Tier 4 final and Stage IV European Union (EU) standards; using less fuel and having lower CO2 emissions; the addition of innovative strategies such as hybridization to achieve new levels of fuel savings; and greater possibilities for using renewable biodiesel fuels.
“It’s no surprise that the leaders in clean diesel engines and equipment - companies like Caterpillar, Cummins, Deere, Volvo, Tognum/MTU Onsite Energy, AGCO and Yanmar – are at the forefront of innovation. They are producing technologies that meet the growing demands of their customers and increasingly diverse societal demands for environmental performance.
“Diesel Is the Lifeblood of the Global Economy”
“It’s long been said that diesel is the lifeblood of the global economy,” Schaeffer said. “As countries look to access and harness new energy resources, generate electricity to power remote villages or enhance infrastructure, diesel generator engines have continuously evolved to meet these demands with products that use less fuel, do more work, and are increasingly sensitive to the environment.”
Schaeffer noted that as the global economy becomes more energy diverse, new efforts are emerging to expand the use of renewable biodiesel fuels for use in diesel generator engines that enhances the sustainability of diesel, which is among the key themes of the bauma 2013 global equipment gathering.
Clean Diesel Power Assists Global Climate Strategy: Global efforts to address climate change rely on fuel and technology solutions. Diesel generator engine efficiencies continue to improve and using less fuel results in fewer CO2 emissions. Incorporation of new hybrid technologies on excavators by companies like Caterpillar, Deere, Volvo and stop-start technologies of Volvo Penta further demonstrates the evolution of the diesel engine. Many of the new technologies are also capable of running on blends of high-quality renewable biodiesel fuels.
Meeting Global Clean Air Requirements: Achieving near-zero levels of emissions to meet EU requirements (Stage IV) or U.S. requirements (Tier 4 final) is at the forefront of clean diesel technology. Meeting this challenge has been accomplished by innovation in emissions control and engine management with the use of strategies including combinations of particulate filters, catalytic systems, and/or selective catalytic reduction technologies, advanced fuel injection and turbocharging. Companies at the forefront of this new technology that are participating in the bauma 2013 expo include Caterpillar, Cummins, Deere, Volvo, Tognum/MTU Onsite Energy, AGCO and Yanmar.
