Worldview
In the latest James Bond film, Sky-fall, the British agent operates a Cater-pillar excavator, but on a speeding train during an action-packed sequence.
It’s a pity every film made didn’t fea-ture various types of off-highway tech-nology. Perhaps then the industry would be ending the year on a happier note.
Cameron Diaz filmed onboard a skid steer loader may have made a positive contribution, Dustin Hoffman with a tun-nel boring machine, or how about Mick-ey Rooney extolling the benefits of Se-lective Catalytic Reduction technology? Maybe Hulk Hogan discussing the mer-its of variable geometry turbochargers.
Such support from Tinseltown would sweep away the blues.
It’s easy to generalize, but 2012 has probably been slightly worse than an-ticipated for most of the construction/agricultural equipment manufacturers and engine makers.
This has been the result of a cocktail with nasty ingredients. There are weak economies pretty much everywhere, not least in Europe, where the end of the financial difficulties seems very dis-tant; prospects in the Middle East are fragile and even in once-supercharged China the economy has cooled. There does, though, seem to be demand from Russia (With Love).
Even in Brazil, a star-performing country recently, one truck maker high-lighted that the market has been at a lower level in 2012 compared to the pre-vious 12 months because of the transi-tion to Euro 5 and a flatter economy.
Adding to the woes is that in many parts of the world, manufacturers’ costs have been rising steadily.
No one seems to be expecting a sudden, rapid upturn in fortunes, but the grim prospect of another reces-sion is (hopefully) slim. There’s plenty of hope for the future and, thankfully, there remains admirable resilience as we end 2012.
As they enter 2013, executives will be feeling shaken, not stirred. dpi
While it might reflect a level of personal naiveté, I believe most reg-ulatory bodies have noble intentions when it comes to the standards they establish. The problem most often seems to be that regulators don’t really grasp how things work in the real world.
The latest example involves E15, the fuel blend of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline (petrol) that has been ap-proved by the Environmental Protec-tion Agency and is just beginning to be sold in the U.S.A. E15 contains 5% more ethanol than the E10 blend that has been sold for more than a decade.
When used in model year 2001 or newer motor vehicles, E15 is fine. When it’s used in anything else — particularly the millions of small en-gine products used around the coun-try — it’s actually illegal and will result in significant engine damage.
So what’s going to prevent people from buying the wrong fuel? Accord-ing to the EPA, a warning label on the fuel dispensing pumps ought to do it. The agency has also proposed mini-mum E15 fuel purchases of 15 L at a single transaction — the logic be-ing that such a restriction will prevent people from filling the smaller contain-ers that are typically used to refuel small equipment.
Seeing as E15 is also generally less expensive than E10 or other blends, it’s likely that the price is going to distract a lot of people from seeing any label. And as it’s the first time ever that they can’t use the same fuel in their small engines that they use in their car, people are go-ing to make mistakes.
Which leaves the small engine and equipment manufacturers in a tough spot. Do they take a hard line against misfueling, thereby gaining the enmity of their customers? Or do they eat the costs, shrinking their bottom lines?
No one has any answers yet. dpi

Volvo Buses has restructured its European production to its main plant in Wroclaw, Poland. Production at Volvo Buses
plant in Säffle, Sweden will stop at the end of June 2013, provided the nec-essary union negotiations are com-pleted. About 330 permanent employ-ees and about 60 consultants will be affected by the closure.
Volvo Buses will retain its aftermar-ket function and technical support in Säffle, securing support for the com-pany’s Nordic customers and offering local employment. The operation will be developed to cover about 50 jobs.
“The demand for new buses in Eu-rope has dropped steadily over the past few years, paralleled by consid-erable pressure on prices, particularly
in the Nordic markets,” said Håkan Karlsson, president, Volvo Bus Corp. “By concentrating the production of complete buses in one single plant, we can reduce our costs and thus re-verse our negative profitability trend.”
Volvo Buses has reported it has considerable excess capacity in its European complete bus plants, even though its market position has improved over the past year. The company expects volume growth in Europe to remain low in the coming years and that price pressure will con-tinue. By focusing all its production in the much larger plant in Poland, Volvo Buses said it expects to achieve the economies of scale essential to tackle the increasingly tough competition in the market. The plant in Poland has

As the demand for new buses in Europe has dropped steadi-ly over the past few years, Volvo Buses has concentrated its production to one plant in Poland to reduce costs.
four times the capacity of the one in Sweden.
“Together with the staff in Säffle and Poland we have invested in new city bus models and improved efficiency, but unfortunately the negative devel-opment of the European market none-theless forces us to take this decision regarding our employees in Säffle,” Karlsson said.
Volvo Buses in Säffle will now be-gin trade union negotiations on the relocation of production. “At the same time we will examine opportunities for finding similar employment within the Volvo Group,” Karlsson said. dpi

A CleAnLondon SceneEminox SCRT system developed to reduce NO2 and NOx, take Euro 2 buses to Euro 5 emissions levels
By Ian Cameron
The latest development from emissions control manufac-turer Eminox, allows its SCRT (selective catalytic reduction
plus continuously regenerating trap) retrofit system to take Euro 2 and 3 buses to emissions levels beyond Euro 5. The company, based in Gains-borough, England, has introduced a new variant of the SCRT technology, developed as part of a pilot project run by Transport for London (TfL).
TfL is the local government body re-sponsible for aspects of the transport system in Greater London. Through the project, the Eminox SCRT system demonstrated it can reduce a range of pollutants even when operating in ur-ban environments. According to Emi-nox, independent tests carried out on a cycle simulating London operating conditions showed reductions of 88% of NOx and 55% of NO2.
In addition to the test data, NOx reduction was also measured during normal operation by fitting sensors to a Euro 3 London bus to monitor real-time performance. Average NOx reduction results took place over a pe-riod of one month, showing an 87% decrease, which Eminox said was equivalent to an annual NOx reduction of more than 700 kg per bus.
“This demonstrates without a doubt that SCR-based systems can work ef-fectively in urban environments,” said Kathye Henderson, marketing man-ager at Eminox. “It also shows how older vehicles can be upgraded and used long into the future, as the need to reduce emissions, particularly from transport, increases.”
The SCRT system combines a diesel particulate filter and SCR technology. It is designed to retrofit heavy-duty vehicles and is currently
ment of a new generation of SCRT technology. The new SCRT system re-quired new catalyst formulations along with extensive system calibration.
While Eminox stressed there is ad-ditional work to be done to ensure that these types of reductions can be achieved on other vehicles, it said the results show a breakthrough in emis-sions technology. The company said this offers hope that older vehicles can be upgraded and used long into the future, as the need to reduce emissions, particularly from transport, increases. dpi
being used to reduce NOx and PM in cleanup programs in Spain, Belgium and England.
Making the new SCRT system dif-ferent to the previous generation system is its ability to reduce NO2 by more than 50% in addition to its im-proved NOx reduction, Eminox said. The new SCRT system operates on the same principles as its predeces-sor, but uses a different type of SCR catalyst and different calibrations in the control system.
The requirements for the London project presented new challenges, as it was required to specifically target NO2 reduction as well as maintaining other emissions levels. This, Eminox said, was key to driving the develop-

Growth in China continues to drive demand for lubricants, with industry related projects such as mining, construction
and steel production fueling the boom.According to industry estimates,
the Asia Pacific region is pushing global growth in lubricant demand. It is forecast that by 2020, the re-gion will represent more than 50% of all demand.
Almost half of that growth is projected to come from China, which is expected to overtake the United States as the largest market for lubricants by 2015.
One of the latest additions to the lubricants sector in China came from Shell, which recently announced plans to build a new lubricants blend-ing plant in Tianjin. The plant will sup-ply a range of products to northern China, supplementing Shell’s six ex-isting plants on the Chinese mainland.
supplying a range of consumer, in-dustrial, marine and transport lubri-cants. The company also has blending plants in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and has established one of its three global storage hubs in Hong Kong to serve the adjacent blending plants.
Shell said it expects mining and construction to spearhead industry de-mand as a fifth of all construction proj-ects globally are soon expected to be in China. In addition, consumer demand will be driven by the number of Chinese vehicles, which is likely to triple in the next 10 years, Shell said. dpi
The plant will have capacity for 300 million L per year initially, with the po-tential to expand to 500 million L, the company said. Groundbreaking took place at the new site in Nangang, Tianjin, in August.
Shell has been active in China’s lubricants market, acquiring three blending plants in 2006 when it bought a 75% share in Beijing Ton-gyi Petroleum Chemical Co. Ltd. and Tongyi Petroleum Chemical Co. Ltd., which produce and market the Mon-arch brand of lubricants.
Shell has built blending plants in Tianjin, Zhapu (Zhejiang) and Zhuhai (Guangdong). It has also established a specialist lubricants technology fa-cility at the Zhuhai site, and recently announced another in Shanghai to be opened in 2013.

首 先 推 出 的 是 为 关 键 发 电 市场 节 点 设 计 的 新 式 1 6 0 0 系 列ElectropaK，Perkins表示这是为了填补公司现有的1300和2000系列产品之间的空白。1600系列产品围绕一系列全授权电子控制的涡轮增压式空-空进气冷却发动机构建，Perkins称其提供主要和备用动力，并特别强调改进了发电密度、可靠性和稳健性。六缸9.3升功率区在转速为1500转/分钟时主要功率输出可达300千伏安(240千瓦电)，备用功率输出可达330千伏安(264千瓦电)，公司计划今年晚些时候推出350千伏安(280千瓦电)备用功率型号。采用ElectropaK规格的发动机配有散热器、进气冷却器、空气滤清器、管路、外壳和安装座，提供设计完整的一站式套装，可直接集成到发电机组中。作为标准配置的热区散热器确保在最高的温度下仍有很高的环境净空，适合超音速座舱盖之类的应用。对于OEM和发电机组封装商，优势包括更高的发电密度和增负荷组合，公司称这意味着1600系列可获得通常与更大排量的发动机相关的输出，在安装过程中能够节省空间。据Perkins称，这种设备几乎或完全
没有额定功率下降，在世界上任何地点基本上都可产生最大输出。为无监管地区和EU 3a合规地区都推出了适用的型号。如今可切换型号也已推出，公司称其可减少零件库存，支持租赁市场的需求。燃油消耗数据大约为200克/千瓦时，保养周期为500小时。
Perkins还推出了400系列的新ElectropaKs，虽然已作为监管地区发电机组的动力源，但是新系列还可用于要求更低的地区和无监管地区。Perkins表示，开发400A系列是为提供经济实惠的动力，而403A-15G2作为满足15千伏安主动力节点要求的型号尤其重要。这种关键节点通常利用较大排量的发动机，但是提高发电密度–通过403A-15G2的机械控制实现–意味着使用较小的安装尺寸也可获得同样的性能。采用ElectropaK规格的新发动机有四种，提供直接集成到发电机组的一站式套装。403A-11G1在1500转/分钟的转速下提供9.2千伏安的主动力，403-15G1的额定主动力为13.2千伏安，略低于G2系列的同等产品，而该系列中更大排量的404A-22G1主动力为20.3千伏安。
Perkins为发电市场呈献新型1600系列electropaK产品，由一系列全授权电子控制涡轮增压式空-空进气冷却柴油发动机提供动力。
根据市场要求，还提供了一种装置，通过机械方式在50和60赫兹之间切换频率。该公司称，这样可减少同时向两个市场销售产品的OEM的库存种类。还可以选择延长保养周期（ESI）套装，保养周期增加一倍，达到1000小时。OEM和Perkins经销商可以采购所有独立部件，以构建符合Perkins推荐规格的机油补充包。在Perkins标准配置上安装该补充包后，所有保修都不受影响。400A系列在英国彼德伯勒、中国无锡、美国佐治亚州格里芬生产，Perkins称这样适合服务于中东、非洲、南美和亚太地区的电力市场。dpi
PErKInS通过推出两款产品提供无限动力 新1600系列填补了产品系列之间的空白；400系列包括50/60赫兹可切换型号

SCR被纳入 Deere的Tier 4 Final/STage 4计划
新式集成排放控制系统的DEF消耗将仅为1-3%；率先认证9.0升
Mike OSenga撰写
John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) 已宣布其Tier 4 Final/Stage 4柴油排放策略。56千瓦及更大功率的柴油发动机将
分别从2014和2015年开始实施Tier 4 Final/Stage 4。
这 一 组 法 规 全 部 涉 及 N O x 减排。Tier 4 interim/Stage 3b的PM减排将后处理概念引入行业并发扬光大，但是现今NOx排放量需要减少80%才能达到Tier 4 Final法规的要求。
虽然不是令人震惊的新闻，但是JDPS已宣布其Stage 4策略中将包含使用选择性催化减排（SCR）技术帮助实现所需的NOx减排要求。
在T i e r 4 i n t e r i m 及之前的标准中，Deere笃定不移地坚持“单一流体”策略，同时又暗示SCR可作为Tier 4 Final/Stage 4计划的一部分。
“追溯到2007年，我们就一直强调SCR在适当的时候可成为有效的NOx
排放控制策略，”全球营销支持经理Geoff Stigler说道。“我们一贯声称
另一种变化是JDPS首次赋予其后处理系统品牌，称其Tier 4 Final/Stage 4方法为John Deere集成排放控制系统。
“这种构成方法形成了John Deere集成排放控制系统和一种优化的最终Tier 4/Stage 4技术解决方案，我们确信这样能够达到排放要求而不会牺牲功率、性能、操作方便性、流体效率、可靠性、耐用性或运行成本的经济性。”Piasecki说道。
特 别 是 ， 对 于 5 6 千 瓦 及 更 高 功率的发动机，集成排放控制系统将包 含 柴 油 氧 化 催 化 器 （ D O C ） 、柴油微粒过滤器（DPF）和SCR系统。Stigler说，DOC/DPF排气过滤器可降低PM，而冷却排气再循环（EGR）和优化的SCR系统可将NOx降低到Tier 4 Final/Stage 4规定的水平。
对于早在2012年即开始实施的适用于56千瓦以下发动机的Tier 4 Final/Stage 4法规，John Deere提供的
将会‘用心提供正确的技术’。SCR就是针对Tie r 4 F i na l的正确解决方案。”
“确实，我们借助interim Tier 4的单一流体解决方案奠定了稳固的地位。这种正确的解决方案允许客户从 Tier 3不露痕迹地转到interim Tier 4, 并保持出众的性能、燃油经济性、可靠性和耐用性水平。此外，这样做还为客户提供另外三年的单一流体解决方案。”
JDPS全球营销、销售和客户支持总监John Piasecki表示赞同:“从排放法规设立之时开始，John Deere就一直致力于使用正确的技术构件组合来满足越来越严苛的法规要求，同时保持或提高性能。”
“SCR是一种适合最终T i e r 4 /Stage 4的技术构件，如今在非公路应用中更加成熟，DEF（柴油排放处理液）供应链基础设施得到更好的发展，John Deere对SCR系统的性能进行了优化。”他说道。

集成排放控制系统包含无冷却EGR或SCR的排气过滤器。
从随附的表格中可找到独立的发动机型号、赛车型新命名和额定功率。
引入的第一款符合Tier 4 interim的发动机是PowerTech PSS 9.0升，额定功率为187至317千瓦。Stigler说，与Tier 4 interim相同，9.0升型将在2014年1月1日Tier 4 Final实施之前约9个月进行认证。预计在该法规实施前大约6个月开始生产。
PowerTech PSS 6.8升和13.5升以及PVS 6.8升将借助9.0升平台进入市场。
在所有这些中最有趣之处是，除了SCR系统要采用Tier 4 Final/Stage 4法规要求外，JDPS还表示在与冷却
EGR结合使用时，所需的DEF与此前相比显著降低；根据具体的应用，柴油消耗预计为1到3%。
Stigler提到，DEF消耗降低意味着DEF箱尺寸也可缩小，从而最大限度地降低对车辆应用的影响，同时延长DEF过滤器使用寿命，减少操作员干预。
SCR系统本身包括DEF箱、供液模块和过滤器、加热DEF供液管、DEF喷嘴和用量调节模块，以及SCR催化器/氨氧化催化器。
“由于DEF使用率降低，燃油输送压力升高，John Deere Tier 4 Final/Stage 4发动机的总体油液经济性将持平或高于Tier 4 interim/Stage 3b发动机型号。”Piasecki说道。
Tier 4 Final基本发动机变更的其他元素包括从4.5升平台至9.0升中使用的共轨系统，与Tier 4 interim相比压力升高20%。13.5升型号仍将采用电子单体喷油系统。
新式的独立发动机控制单元(ECU)同时控制发动机和整个集成排放控制系统。新式Tier 4 Final/Stage 4 ECU由John Deere电子解决方案业务部门Phoenix International生产，与Tier 4 interim/Stage 3b ECU相比编程内存增加一倍，处理速度提高两倍，能够以最佳的方式管理Tier 4 Final/Stage 4发动机和排放控制系统。dpi
John Deere的Tier 4 Final技术解决方案涉及采用选择性催化减排(SCR)技术，但柴油消耗只有1到3%。SCR系统本身包括柴油机排放处理液(DEF)箱、供液模块和过滤器、加热DEF供液管、DEF喷嘴和用量调节模块，以及SCR催化器/氨氧化催化器。

Caterpillar ShuffleS Top of The org CharT
Two new group presidents; new president of Perkins; Hong Kong office moves to Singapore
By Mike Osenga
Typically, Caterpillar makes its annual top-level personnel an-nouncements sometime in Oc-tober. This year was no different
as the Peoria, Illinois, U.S.A.-based manufacturer made an extensive series of personnel moves following the com-pany’s fall board meeting.
This time around the announce-ments included two new group presi-dents, including a new head of the en-gine and power systems group, a new president for Perkins, a raft of new vice presidents, and the shift of Cat’s office in Hong Kong to Singapore.
The last move first. Some analysts have already termed the move from Hong Kong, as a “retreat from” or “downsizing” in China.” Caterpillar said, “not so,” adding that the change was done both for cost reasons, as well as Singapore offering a more central, pan-Asian base of operations. Cater-pillar still has an office in Beijing as well as numerous facilities in China.
As for the personnel moves, at the top of org chart, group presidents Rich
the course of the next decade with So-lar, he held a number of engineering and sales positions including assign-ments in Singapore and Kuala Lum-pur, Malaysia.
In 1994, he became the director of power systems operations and facil-ity manager of Solar’s Kearny Mesa, California, U.S.A. gas turbine packag-ing facility. In 1997, he became a Solar vice president with responsibility for customer services and in 2000 was named Solar vice president for Tur-bomachinery Products.
In 2005, Umpleby assumed re-sponsibilities as a general manager for global services for Caterpillar, a Peoria-based assignment in Cater-pillar’s Product Support Division. He was named Solar’s vice president for oil and gas in 2007.
The rest of the moves shake out as follows:
Perkins: Gwenne Henricks, the cur-rent Perkins president, and Tana Utley, currently Caterpillar’s chief technol-ogy officer, will swap roles. Henricks
Lavin and Gerard Vittecoq are both retiring; Lavin as the group president for Construction Industries & Growth Markets and Vittecoq as group presi-dent for Energy & Power Systems.
Lavin will be replaced by current group president and chief financial of-ficer Ed Rapp in Hong Kong. Rapp will oversee the move to Singapore of the Construction Industries group, where Rapp will be based in his new role, ef-fective Jan. 1, 2013.
Meanwhile, Solar Turbines Presi-dent Jim Umpleby, who is also a Cat vice president, takes Vittecoq’s spot as group president for Energy & Power Systems. The Energy & Power Systems group includes Industrial Power Sys-tems & Growth Markets Division, Large Power Systems & Growth Markets Divi-sion, Marine & Petroleum Power Divi-sion, Electric Power Division, Progress Rail Division and Solar Division.
Umpleby was named a Caterpillar vice president and president of Solar Turbines in 2010. He joined Solar in 1980 as an associate engineer. Over

specialist ZF have established their second joint venture in China. ZF Liu-zhou Axle Co. Ltd. was formed to pro-duce wheel loader axles especially tailored for the requirements of the Chinese market.
“A team of engineers from ZF head-quarters, LiuGong and ZF China have been working together to upgrade the existing axle models for LiuGong wheel loaders since October 2011,” said Her-mann Beck, head of the ZF Business Unit Off-Highway Systems. “These joint efforts brought about a modular axle concept which, besides the stan-dard version with dry disc brake (Basic Line), offers the possibility to supply a new, even more sophisticated techni-
LiuGong and other third party cus-tomers with construction machinery transmissions and axles. ZF Liuzhou Axle Co. Ltd. has been launched in the same location.
“During the past years, China has experienced a rapid development of construction machinery”, said Dr. Ste-fan Sommer, CEO of ZF. “More than half of the worldwide wheel loaders are produced in China. A considerable amount of machines are also being exported abroad from there.”
“The new venture will benefit from the many successful years of coop-eration already between LiuGong and ZF and by further extending this ben-eficial cooperation, we will continue to set many things in motion on the fiercely competitive construction ma-chinery market,” said Wang Xiao Hua, chairman of LiuGong. dpi

ZF said the modular concept for the new axle range will greatly re-duce production costs, resulting in a technically reliable and favorably priced product.
In the long run, the new joint ven-ture company is expected to employ 190 people. Production is scheduled to reach 3300 axles by 2014 and in-crease to more than 30 000 units per year by 2018, the companies said. The joint venture will supply LiuGong and the open market.
Since 1995, ZF and LiuGong have been operating a joint venture compa-ny in Liuzhou, one of most important industrial cities in the south of China. The company employs 300 people and serves the joint venture partner

Taking a More Global View
Some of China’s largest equipment manufacturers are targeting sales growth outside of home market
By Ian Cameron
Several major Chinese con-struction equipment makers are hastening the pace of their overseas expansions
and partnerships, lured by the need to capture enhanced technology and to escape the worst effects of home market economic headaches.
Within China, the downward eco-nomic trend, partly fueled by the tightening of credit availability and re-duced infrastructure investment, has prompted companies to ramp up their presence outside of China through acquisitions and investments.
The results for some Chinese construction companies have been greatly increased by overseas sales, access to more sophisticated tech-nology and the expansion of their off-shore service and dealer networks.
Typifying the trend is Chinese con-struction equipment manufacturer Zoomlion. It recently announced that in the first half of 2012 it recorded “rapid growth” in overseas sales, rep-resenting a rise of 27.31% compared to the same period last year.
The company said its core seg-
arm and Zoomlion claims it is the world’s longest track-mounted crane with five axles. The company also said the ZE1250E large-tonnage crawler excavator was approved by relevant authorities in China and is in use.
However, it is not all positive news from Zoomlion. Examining the opera-tional risks for the second half of 2012, the company said the weak global economic recovery, the slowdown of domestic growth and overcapacity of construction machinery manufactur-ing will lead to intensified competition and may affect company sales volume and profitability.
It also noted credit risks, saying that due to its large customer base, the credit status of different customers could affect business expansion and the future recovery of debt.
Further evidence of the Chinese willingness to partner with outside companies to enhance their techno-logical credentials is the recent an-nouncement of a deal between Chi-na’s automotive and equipment maker Weichai Power Co., Ltd. and Germa-ny’s forklift, warehouse equipment and industrial trucks manufacturer Kion Group GmbH, whose brands in-clude Linde, Still, Fenwick, OM Still, Baoli and Voltas.
“This partnership is an important step in our five-year strategy to global-ize and expand our business activities into new markets and products,” said Tan Xuguang, chairman and chief ex-ecutive officer of Weichai Power. “With this partnership, we will leverage Ki-on’s strong position and utilize growth opportunities for Kion and Weichai Power to further enhance the compet-itive edge of both companies.”
ments achieved breakthroughs in products and sales, notably for its truck-mounted concrete pumps, which successfully entered the German mar-ket. It added that the export of Zoom-lion’s 800-tonne crawler cranes to Iran also set the record for the larg-est tonnage crawler crane exported from China.
However, Zoomlion has been also keen to emphasize the technological and research & development advanc-es it said it had made recently. In the first half of 2012, the company said its patent applications grew by 248% compared to the same period last year.
It cited a technology linkup with Ger-man crane maker Jost, saying that since the start of the agreement, all of Zoomlion’s “technical performance in-dicators have reached international ad-vanced levels.” Its newly developed flat top tower crane, the T320-16, was also allowed to enter the Singapore market.
Focusing on other research and de-velopment efforts, Zoomlion launched a new generation of truck-mounted pumps. The new pump incorporates six fold-arm technology with a 63 m

The companies said the core of the partnership is a close cooperation in the field of material handling and hy-draulic drive technology. Under the agreement — which is estimated to be the largest Chinese direct investment in Germany — Weichai Power will ac-quire a 25% stake in Kion and a 70% majority in Kion’s hydraulics business. Hydraulics will be operated and man-aged as an independent company named Linde Hydraulics, with Kion retaining a stake.
Linde’s hydraulics products will con-tinue to be branded under the Linde Hydraulics trademark. The business plan for Linde Hydraulics includes relocating the existing hydraulics ac-tivities in Nilkheim, Aschaffenburg, to a new hydraulics plant nearby and in-creasing capacity at other hydraulics production sites.
LiuGong, one of China’s most ambi-tious construction equipment compa-nies, has also continued to grow its in-ternational links. In September, it said the company and ZF agreed a joint venture to produce wheel loader ax-les tailored for the requirements of the Chinese market. More information is available elsewhere in this issue. dpi
Chinese engine and equipment maker Weichai Power Co., Ltd. and German forklift, warehouse equipment and industrial truck manufacturer Kion Group GmbH, have made a deal in which Weichai has acquired a significant stake in Kion, whose products include Bailo forklift trucks sold in China, Eastern Europe, and Central and South America.

Vehicles with combustion en-gines combined with electric drives are more and more com-mon these days, and the future
seems to aim to fully electrically driven transport equipment. But what is the situation in other sectors of machin-ery, such as agricultural, earth moving, construction, or industrial? Are high-efficiency electric motors with inverter controls able to replace traditional mechanical or hydraulic transmissions even in these sectors?
Nearly every day it is possible to see new machines with electric drives. At the recent GaLaBau exhibi-tion in Nuremberg, Germany, a new slope mower was shown that had an electric transmission in place of the more conventional hydrostatic drive. If this will be a success remains to be seen. There is no perceivable benefit in terms of weight or space because the batteries have very similar dimen-sions as the hydraulic tank, combus-tion engine and hydraulic pump. The battery capacity is relatively limited and does not provide a full day of work in a professional setting.
Perhaps most significantly, there is no real benefit in terms energy sav-ing. Electric motors in this type of ap-plication need a high-speed reduction in order to efficiently. Speed reduction is possible with worm angle gears, which are the best solution for rea-sons of space and cost. But the result is an efficiency loss of more than 30%.
Another new field of application for electric drive systems is fruit harvest-ing machines and elevators. These machines are equipped with low-loss 48 V tubular batteries, which because of their infinitely variable speed regu-lation and automatic interval control,
assure long running time for the two- or four-wheel drives. Here the electric drive and control systems are truly innovative and offer real benefits of energy efficiency. The ac electric mo-tors are operated through commonly available controls, which come at a reasonable cost. The motors are built on high efficiency planetary wheel drive gearboxes, which allow high ra-dial loads — an important factor when the machine is operating on a slope.
Over the last several years, forklift trucks and other material handling/logistics machines have demonstrat-
ed their capability to operate profit-ably using ac-driven wheel drives in place of hydraulic drive systems or dc electric motors. While dc motors offer very good efficiency, they are some-what more expensive because of the precision required in their machining and assembly. On the other hand, ac motors are much more simple, need less maintenance, and offer the same benefits as dc motors when it comes to torque, speed control, efficiency and electric or inverter control. Other advantages of ac motors are their re-duced consumption of power during

ElEctric Over Hydraulic?
Hybrid electric drive systems may be the future, but combining electric and hydraulic technologies already providing benefits
An example of an electric drive system can be seen on fruit harvesting equipment. The machines are equip- ped with low-loss 48 V tubu-lar batteries that because of their infinitely variable speed regulation and automatic in-terval control provide long running time of the two- or four-wheel drives.

alternating working cycles, as well as the nearly unlimited time of duty.
Big logistic transporters and auto-matic guided vehicles (AGV) used in the assembly, painting and maintenance of aircrafts, large trucks, railway trains, wind power nacelles and others, are operating with high efficient ac drives combined with special planetary wheel drive gearboxes, such as seen on the wheel assemblies of 72.6 tonne ca-pacity transporters. The multiple wheel drives offer a maximum of precision in directional drive as well as positioning.
In industrial applications, hydraulics nearly disappeared on machine tools, woodworking machines, plastic injec-tion machinery and others. As in cer-tain vehicle drive systems, the electric motors and controls offer efficiency advantage over hydraulic systems.
But how is the situation when we come to heavy-duty machinery, such as large excavators, marine cranes, presses and recycling shredders? In these applications, the demand is for high power, which means high oil flow and oil pressure for actuators, a situa-tion where no electric motor could be in-stalled or would be technically suitable.
Even in these applications, however, there has been some technical move-ment with the development of new electrohydraulic hybrid systems. In an electrohydraulic hybrid system, an electric motor drives a hydraulic pump, which is operated by a controller simi-lar to those used in the previous appli-
An accompanying illustration shows a closed circuit with the speed control system of a large mining reclaimer. The hybrid system with inverter control of the electric motor improves the repeat-ability and low-speed precision control of the excavator’s rotary shovel. In this example, the electric motor has a pow-er of 55 kW and the fixed displacement hydraulic pump has a nominal flow of 280 L/min and a working pressure of 210 bar. With the inverter control, there is an energy saving of up to 40% com-pared to a conventional system and this means a reduction of approximately 24.5 tonnes of CO
2 emissions annually.The other circuit illustration shows an
open circuit of a speed control of a pro-cessing machine. The pump is run as long as necessary and the inverter con-trol contributes to improve operability, as well as controllability at lower speed. With a variable displacement pump there is an energy saving of up to 60% compared to a traditional system.
It seems likely that electric drives will gain greater application in lieu of tradi-tional hydraulics — assuming electric motors and actuators continue in their development of higher efficiency, less weight, smaller dimensions and lower costs. But in the interim, hydraulic drives and systems, when combined with advanced electric controls and other components, already offer sig-nificant advantages over traditional hydraulic solutions. dpi

cations. This controls the speed of the electric motor in accordance with the power requirement in order to control the discharge flow from the hydraulic pump. This configuration helps to mini-mize power consumption as hydraulic pressure is retained while the actua-tors are at a standstill. The result is significant energy savings achieved, because the machine can operate ef-fectively with a minimum necessary power consumption, as well as through reduction of pressure on the hydraulic circuit. It even allows, in conjunction with a power regenerative system, to reuse the braking energy from a load side. In addition, the fluid temperature is reduced, which leads to improved re-peatability. The loss in the pressure on the hydraulic circuit is also decreased, so a higher hydraulic output is obtained from a given input power.
The electrohydraulic hybrid system includes, principally, a standard pump intended for open circuits, while spe-cial pumps (with suction valves) are available also for closed circuits. This allows the hybrid system to be applied to a broad range of hydraulic circuits. The pumps can be of fixed or variable displacement — such as with two dis-placement settings — so the necessary drive torque can be lower and the nec-essary electric motor can be smaller.

For many manufacturers of construction equipment, their market is essentially the world. Sales into other
regions have been the hallmark of some of the largest manufacturers for decades. For medium-sized and smaller machine producers, export sales allowed them to survive the worst of the recession.
With that in mind, here’s a brief over-view of some of the key global markets.
In Europe, the modest recovery of 2010 picked up its pace in 2011, with the market growing by a respect-able 23% to nearly 125 000 units. Yet from the beginning of 2012, caution was being urged with regards to the likely sustainability of this return to growth. In Off-Highway Research’s last Annual Review, published in April, a decline of 1% was forecast. Now the outlook has become a little more pessimistic.
After detailed interviews with lead-ing European manufacturers and key country dealers, Off-Highway Re-search has revised its 2012 forecast to a decline in sales of 3%. Further-more, the forecast for 2013 has also been revised downward. It is now an-
ticipated there will be a further 5% de-cline in sales to a market of 113,589 units, eroding more than 40% of the gains made in 2011.
This is in spite of the fact the to-
tal market is still significantly below the long-term average. Over the past five years, including only one “peak year” in 2007 and the sub-sequent sharp drop in sales, the

average European market has been 137 161 units. The 10-year average, which shows the effects of the current crisis mitigated by previous buoyancy, is higher still at 146 267 units. Nevertheless, the likelihood of the improve-ment to date becoming a complete recovery by returning to these levels now seems to have faded once more into the distance.
The reasons for this pessimism are depressingly fa-miliar. They include continued uncertainty caused by the sovereign debt crises of various European nations, fears for the fate of the Eurozone itself, the subsequent fra-gility of the continent’s leading financial institutions and the continued absence of credit. To these must be added the unwillingness or inability of governments to embrace infrastructure investment as a catalyst for economic growth, depressed housing markets and the resultant free fall in consumer and business confidence.
In the off-highway equipment sector, last year’s re-placement of rental equipment and the subsequent re-duction in workloads, combined with still fresh memories of the consequences of overstocked fleets in 2008, have encouraged purchasers to once again postpone invest-ment decisions. Having had to offload surplus machinery once already in order to generate the cash flow needed to survive, there is little desire to repeat the procedure.

This growth trend continued through 2011 as sales peaked at 72 162 units, a rise of 22%. But signs of economic mismanagement and political indecisions on major policy matters have become more visible in all sectors of the economy and it seems unlikely a similar rise will be seen again in the near term.
For the first half of this year, the total market declined by nearly 4% compared to the same period in 2011. Current trends indicate a mar-ginal decline in the industry and de-mand is likely to decrease by about 1% for the year.
The structure of the market re-mained largely unchanged with backhoe loaders, crawler excavators and mobile cranes continuing as the leading volume products in the first six months of 2012, accounting for 84% of the market. That compares to 83% in the corresponding period of 2011.
The construction equipment mar-ket in India will be driven largely by the planned development of in-frastructure under the ongoing 12th Five Year Plan (April 2012 to March 2017). The Indian government has broadly planned for an investment of nearly $1 trillion on infrastructure. This investment is the highest ever for any Five Year Plan and should have a very positive impact on the construction equipment industry.
However, the construction equip-ment industry is feeling the effects of what is now popularly being termed as “policy paralysis” in the union government. For over two years, the ruling coalition has been mired in po-litical and financial controversies that have visibly slowed the economy and retarded progress on several infra-structure projects. The efforts of many state governments that are pursuing their growth plans resolutely have of-fered some respite.
Despite the near-term challenges, Off-Highway Research remains bull-ish about the long-term prospects of

problem is that most of these coun-tries are looking at single-digit expan-sion from an exceptionally low base. Even the anticipated 5% growth in Ire-land amounts to only an additional 26 units in the total market.
There should also be special men-tion of Italy, which is set to have the dubious distinction of five consecu-tive years of decline. The regular refrain that the bottom must by now have been reached will be tested again in 2013.
Following two years of consecutive decline after the global economic crisis of 2008, the construction equipment industry in India made a sharp recov-ery in 2010, spurred by the strong do-mestic demand generated by ongoing infrastructure development projects. Construction equipment sales were
Yet the picture is not universally bleak. Norway, and to a lesser ex-tent Denmark, are on their way to-ward considerable expansion in 2012. Three other countries, in-cluding France — which accounts for more than 20% of total sales — are forecast to see an increase in demand. From a European per-spective, however, this is more than offset by the fact that the remaining countries are set to see no growth or a decline. This includes a 3% decline forecast for both Germany and the U.K., which between them account for nearly 50% of total de-mand and continue to set the tone for the market as a whole.
Looking to 2013, nine of the 16 countries covered by Off-Highway Research are forecast to expand. The

the construction equipment market in India. It forecasts sales of construction equipment will reach 71 255 units this year, which is likely to rise to 114 165 units by the end of 2016.
India’s neighbor, China, suffered through a severe downturn in demand for the first six months of this year. There had been some corrections in previous years, but the record year-on-year fall of 37% in the first half repre-sents real depression and has put great pressure on the industry as whole.
With the enormous expansion experienced over the last decade, the industry has invested massively in the expansion of production capacity and the promotion of sales, but now every company that has done so desper-ately needs to earn a rapid return on investment simply to survive.
Following stagnation in market demand since the second quarter of 2011, the industry at the beginning of this year had confidently expected a return to nor-mality, even though there was also fear of a continued downturn. Nobody, however, had expected to see such a reversal in market fortunes, the most severe in history. If 2011 was seen as a correction in demand following unsustainable growth, the market now seems to have gone into free fall.
A tightening of the monetary policy that has been in place since 2010 has had a direct bearing on this unfore-seen outcome. After the earlier substantial fiscal stimulus had come to an end, the central government turned to tighten the money supply to control inflation. While the industry expected this would have run its course by the middle of 2011, fiscal tightening actually continued into the first half of 2012. The result was that it blunted the risk of inflation, but it also had a negative impact on the economy as a whole and the construction equipment in-dustry has been very badly affected.
The government realized the overheated level of in-vestment needed to be regulated so as to reduce the ex-cessive production capacity that had been built up. There was also a need for a change in the structure of those industries that could not sustain their long-term devel-opment. The high growth rate of the Chinese economy over the last decade, which essentially had been charac-terized by heavy investment and foreign trade, has now come to an end. The investment boom has cooled over the last two years, and the number of new projects has been limited.
As a result, demand for construction equipment, which had reached an all-time high because of the large number of new projects that had been suddenly initiated in 2009, has dropped to much lower levels.
On the supply side, the manufacturing industry had been encouraged by the ever-growing market to increase its production capacity, which now far outstrips demand.

To win customers, extremely easy financing terms were offered. The lean profit margins that were being earned did not allow much room for lowering prices. Many customers, in particular those new entrants to the construction market, were blinded by the aggressive promotional activities of suppliers or they just overlooked the risks involved.
While the industry continued to pro-mote sales in such a cavalier fashion, the slowdown in demand and the lack of new work resulted in a huge num-ber of machines lying idle and enor-mous levels of stock remained unsold at the end of 2011. As the expecta-tion for a quick return on investment in machine purchases has now evapo-rated, market confidence has been seriously eroded.
Therefore, it is the slowing of in-vestment activity that has brought about this unprecedented fall in the market. Promotional activities to gen-erate additional sales are not having their desired effect. Instead, distribu-tors have become reluctant to offer finance-based promotions that may further increase their exposure and manufacturers are now prioritizing fi-
nancial stability rather than continued headlong growth.
All companies are short of work-ing capital, and it will be a difficult time before there is a return to what the industry would classify as nor-mality. The major manufacturers, some of which began to reduce the number of employees at the end of 2011, have been trying to raise capi-tal from the stock markets, but the gloomy economic outlook makes it almost impossible to success-fully launch new issues. Among the smaller companies and the newer market entrants, some have had to leave the sector altogether.
There remains some good news. In the year to date, exports have con-tinued to show strong growth of 15 to 30%, depending on the product sec-tor, which to some extent has offset the decline in the domestic market. Yet manufacturers still cannot pin too much hope on their overseas sales. In the domestic market, investment input showed signs of recovery in the sec-ond quarter in the context of the new policy to sustain economic growth. This may help improve buyers’ con-fidence, but the market itself is un-
likely to undergo any form of strong recovery in the short term given the enormous volume of machines, all of which are chasing too little work.
In the year to date, the market has been much weaker than had been forecast, although investment activi-ties have shown signs of recovery in the second quarter. This may help improve the industry’s confidence for the future, but it would be too op-timistic to anticipate a quick recov-ery in equipment demand, as there are such large numbers of machines already in the market.
The priority of the industry is now to minimize the risk of bad debts that are arising because of the growing number of customer defaults. The large volumes of used equipment that were taken in the previous year by distributors still need to be sold, and this could well have an adverse impact on sales of new machines. On a year-on-year basis, sales are expected be stable in the second half and for the full year may fall by 30% over 2011.
Future market demand will largely depend on economic policy, which is challenged by the potential risk of in-flation and the need to sustain growth at a certain level, so there is an un-certain outlook for the medium term. The prevailing current view is that the market will recover in 2013 from the current depressed levels, with contin-ued investment input. However, one cannot expect another major fiscal stimulus package that may result in renewed inflation.
Therefore, the expected growth next year may be seen as a correc-tion after the current deep downturn, while there are different views as to whether or not growth will accelerate in 2014. Modest growth may continue in the longer term, stimulated by new investment and the need to replace existing machine fleets. However, without the stimulus of major invest-ment growth, it is unlikely the market could ever return to the heights of de-mand experienced in 2011 in the next five years. dpi

The Brazilian economy has been suffering from the glob-al economic crisis, which has been affecting the demand
for Brazilian goods, especially mineral commodities. Also, a series of internal shortcomings, including a lack of in-dustrial competitiveness, weak infra-structure and lack of investment, has diminished growth, principally within the industrial sector.
A concerned Brazilian government has been seeking to revive the econ-omy with measures such as lower interest rates, currency devaluation, tax incentives and investments in in-frastructure. Nevertheless, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to increase only 1.3% in 2012, a very low level given the country’s stan-dards and needs.
Still, while specific and limited, the measures taken by the Brazilian gov-ernment should have some effect and a growth rate of around 3% in 2013 is expected, with a stronger revival only in 2014, global economy permitting.
The highlight in this scenario is the agricultural sector, due to its excel-
lent prospects for 2013. The crisis in the world grain supply, caused by the drought in the U.S. and some regions in Europe and Russia, has created a good market opportunity for the Brazilian agricultural sector. The U.S. is the world’s largest corn
producer, with a total production of around 40% of the global harvest. It is estimated that this year’s shortfall is 99.8 to 108.9 million tonnes and, consequently, the initial estimate by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture of 344.7

million tonnes has plummeted 30% to somewhere between 236 and 245 million tonnes. In the case of soy, the situation is slightly more comfortable because while the U.S. is the world’s largest single producer and is very important, South American produc-tion (Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay) is a very large contributor. Should the harvest be a good one (which is ex-pected), South America is in position to make up for the large part of the North American production shortfall.
With the price increase of agricul-tural commodities, especially corn and soy on the international market, Brazilian farmers are glimpsing at the possibility of obtaining high profit levels in the next grain harvest that is now being planted.
Despite the weaker soy harvest due to the drought that has devas-tated South Brazil this year and was considerably damaging to the re-gional economy, in general the 2012
harvest was quite favorable in the rest of the country. This permitted significant gains for farmers, mainly in the central region, where in addi-tion to a good soy crop, the favor-able rainfall distribution provided a record second corn harvest. This is being reflected in the inputs markets as well. Fertilizer sales are up 4.8% this year compared to last year’s re-cord sales. In addition to investment in technology, Brazilian farmers are also investing in improving and ex-panding farm machinery. There was a 0.5% rise in the number of farm tractors by August, while harvesters showed a 7.7% increase.
If we look more closely at the fig-ures, we see that sales are rising more in recent months. Tractor sales figures in August were 9.8% higher than in the same month of 2011 and harvesters are 17.9% ahead of the same period last year.
This growth shows signs of what
Brazilian farmers are expecting in the future. The crops being planted in Brazil now will be potentially the larg-est ever, with a record planted area and an estimated growth of 1.1 million hectares for the first harvest of soy, corn and cotton.
Moreover, meteorologists forecast the climate phenomenon El Niño is looming, and while it is expected to be short and not especially intense, it should still benefit growing conditions, especially in South Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.
The increased planted area, higher technology/mechanization levels and favorable climatic conditions are set-ting up to make the soy harvest the biggest ever and Brazil the world’s largest soy producer. Also, high in-ternational prices and more favorable exchange rates maintained by the government will cause prices to be fairly high. These factors should re-sult in income growth and should en-courage farmers to increase the crop area next year, especially since the downturns in the northern hemisphere yields should keep the world’s agricul-tural commodity stocks low. This will keep prices at high levels, resulting in good profits for the sector.
Sugarcane is another important crop in the region. This sector is on its way to recovery after two poor harvests brought about by climate problems and low investment. It is ex-pected that we will see a 10% rise in sugarcane production.
Should this scenario be confirmed and the global conditions not dete-riorate significantly, the combination of these factors will lead to growing sales of farm machinery. We estimate that tractor sales should be 5 to 7% higher and harvester sales to grow between 14 and 18%. This will also bring economic benefits beyond the agricultural sector, such as increased sales of trucks and other logistical products and services.
The agricultural sector will con-tinue to play an extremely important role in the economic recovery of Brazil in 2013. dpi

Growth on An Uneven PAce Between MAtUre, DeveloPinG AnD eMerGinG MArketsBy Kamini Patel
Although the world markets are still bathed in doom and gloom, manufacturers remain cautiously optimis-
tic about the future. This year the road has remained rocky, but most customers, suppliers and other mar-ket participants have survived and are driving their businesses forward despite these uncertain conditions.
After a fairly strong 2010 (GDP growth of 5.1%), the global market has been growing more slowly with GDP forecasts predicting a decline to 3.3% by the end of 2012. The latest econom-ic forecast from IHS Global Insight and the International Monetary Fund predict continuing lack luster global growth of 3.6% in 2013. So, we are now in the eighth quarter after the Great Reces-sion of 2009 and the Power Systems Research teams are restating our pre-diction from last year that we all get
used to working in an environment of slow growth and more frequent minire-cessions in the developed world.
The political and economic tensions within the Eurozone are expected to remain high until at least mid-2013 as governments continue to address their debt challenges by making deep austerity cuts, cutting stimulus spend-ing and generating income by raising taxes. Additionally, inflation and high unemployment have driven down de-mand. Delving deeper, we see the pace of economic growth will con-tinue to remain uneven between the mature (1.9%), developing (4.8%) and emerging markets (6.1%). This growth in the emerging markets was lower than originally expected and is due to downward revisions in India and China. This will have a significant negative impact on world trade and in particular imports and exports leading
to considerable spare capacity in the supply chain.
However, companies that have survived the Great Recession have adapted to the “new normal”. They have healthy balance sheets and a la-ser sharp focus on maintaining profit-ability and cash flow. If investing at all, companies are making low risk, low cost, cautious investments. These in-clude taking existing products to new markets and channels, increasing exports, improving aftermarket cov-erage, new research and develop-ment partnerships and more intimate collaborations with competitors. As examples of these trends, Mercedes-Benz is manufacturing cars at the Nis-san facility in Mexico and Cummins is now supplying its own engines for Navistar trucks in North America.
Competitive rivalry is expected to increase in line with the slowdown in

quotas. For example, DAF will be manufacturing trucks in Brazil with 60% local content or MTU manufac-turing in Brazil with 50% local content. As partnerships and alliances form across regions, the challenge of com-bining two diverse organizational cul-tures is becoming an important factor slowing effective decision making.
Let’s look at the numbers to make sense of these challenges and market trends. Power Systems Research has tracked clients, who have repeatedly subscribed to our market information databases and services over many years and we see that they consis-tently outperform the Dow Jones in-dex. In our opinion, companies that base their investment decisions and strategic growth plans on factual data have been more sure footed in exe-cuting their strategies for growth.
For engines greater than 2 L, the global market growth rate remains rel-atively flat over the next five years. The segments with the best expectation of growth are light commercial vehicles, medium and heavy trucks, industrial, construction and power generation.
On the brighter side, production fore-casts for diesel engines greater than 2 L remains strong at a five-year compound-ed growth rate of 7%. The highest growth is expected in the on-highway market with more modest growth expected in construction, power generation, agri-culture and the marine segments. En-gine horsepower per unit is also grow-ing at a higher rate across the world especially in the BRIC and emerg- ing countries.
The off-highway segments — con-struction, power generation and agri-culture are all affected by a shift from diesel to alternative fuels and power sources (electric, hybrid and natural gas engines). The lower growth in the marine segment is due to overcapac-ity in the commercial marine propul-sion mainly in China.
When we consider region of manu-facture of diesel engines, production continues to shift toward the emerging markets. Asia Pacific represented 30% of the total diesel market in 2000 and is
market growth as everyone fights for the same slice of the pie. There are already many innovative marketing programs introduced to maintain mar-ket share and to tie in end customers. These include providing credit facili-ties to purchase their products and developing aftersales services and tools. Most manufacturers are brand-ing and bundling products with serv-ice packages to lower the total cost of ownership through fuel economy, ex-tended service intervals and reduced down time. Designing products to im-
prove fuel economy and lower CO2
output is driving every engine, equip-ment and component manufacturer’s product plan.
The other key challenge as com-petitors’ “glocalize” is the impact of regulation — whether it’s emissions, financial or related to regional exports and duties. Products are designed with common components, and may be assembled in several different fa-cilities for a diverse global customer base. These need to pass the hurdles of local certification and satisfy local

close to 50% today. No surprises here.Today, most global producers are
building products for both the highly regulated and unregulated markets. These engines are designed to incor-porate local content to reduce excise duty and taxes. Currently, the engines produced in the unregulated markets cannot be sold into the regulated mar-
kets. However the gap will narrow in the next five years as standards har-monize across the markets. Global customers can thus leverage their technology know how to extend the reach of their products.
The top producing countries by fuel type for engines greater than 2 L displacement are shown in the ac-
companying table. The United States remains the global leader in engine production in this size range. How- ever, a high proportion of products are built in Asia — China, India and Japan by both local and global producers.
The trend toward production of nat-ural gas powered engines is increas-ing, but volumes are still low. The United States also leads natural gas engine production followed closely by China and India. Most of these prod-ucts are manufactured for domestic market consumption.
Here is some more good news: Each of the top 10 global manufactur-ers of diesel engines have survived the Great Recession of 2009. We are not expecting too many changes to this mix. However, we do expect some positional shifts as aggressive marketing strategies are implemented and stronger collaborations form with respect to research and development, branding and manufacturing.

In the off-highway market, Caterpil-lar maintains the No. 1 position, but Cummins, China Yitou Group, Deere and Weichai are close contenders for the top position.
A similar picture is observed in the global on-highway market for diesel engines greater than 2 L displace-ment (excluding passenger cars). The top three players are expected to
maintain their global position — Cum-mins, Ford and Isuzu.
In summary, the outlook for global engine production remains stable. We expect higher growth in the emerging markets versus the developed and mature markets. The survivors of the Great Recession have adapted to face the challenges of the uncertain future. They are holding on to their cash and
making low risk investment decisions. We are expecting the rocky road to continue for the rest of 2012 and first part of 2013. So get ready for another safari as companies collaborate and huddle together for protection.
To survive these changing market conditions, it makes sense to look at the numbers to find opportunities for growth. dpi

Bosch Rexroth opened a new plant in Wujin, China, employing approximately 1200 workers and pro-ducing hydraulic components and systems, linear motion technology and pneumatic components.
Along with the plant, Bosch Rexroth said that local devel-opment activities would be bundled in an internal R&D cen-ter starting in 2013. Overall, the company said it will invest €83 million into the expansion of its presence in the region.
“Our ‘local for local’ strategy will help us tap additional mar-ket segments that could not be reached from Germany,” said Dr. Bertram Hoffmann, member of the board of Bosch Rexroth AG. “In the long run, this will also ensure higher utilization at the German plants.”
Bosch Rexroth has been present in China for more than 30 years and has sought to continuously expand the local value creation. Last year, the company made almost €1 billion in sales in China and has more than quadrupled its business volume since 2005.
The company employs about 3900 workers in China. Most of the components and systems from the new plant with a total area of about 70,000 m2 are supplied to the largest global mar-ket for all types of machines and equipment.
The plant in Wujin is part of Bosch Rexroth’s global growth strategy, the company said. Over the past years, the company has also expanded its capacities in North and South America, Eastern Europe and India. dpi

The Cooling Of China
Slower growth affected companies and economies around the world, with significant relief yet to come
By Mike Brezonick
The “butterfly effect” — that facet of chaos theory which posits that a butterfly flapping its wings in China can result in hurricanes in North Ameri-ca — has never seemed so apt.
Because the effects of the dramatic economic slow-down that has occurred in China this year turned out to be one of the most significant — and reoccurring — stories of the last 12 months. So much so that it over-shadowed just about everything else that happened in the opinion of the editorial board of Diesel Progress and has been named as Diesel Progress International 2012 Newsmaker Of The Year.
To review, the Newsmaker of the Year can be any-thing — a person, a company, a technology, a trend — that was the most significant and created the most news throughout the year. The short version is, what are people talking about?
In this case, what we found when we looked through the coverage in our magazines, on our websites and in other venues — especially information put out by the companies in our industry — that concerns with the

state of affairs in China was among the most frequently mentioned subjects.
As Off-Highway Research’s David Phillips reported in a recent Global Trends column in Diesel Progress International, while there have been some corrections in previous years, “the record year-on-year fall of 37% in the first half (of 2012) represents real depression and has put great pres-sure on the industry as a whole.”
That pressure is being felt by the manufacturers of engines and equip-ment around the world, many of whom relied on the Chinese market to remain profitable during the Great Recession of 2008-2009. It’s also been reflected by the comments from Caterpillar and Cummins in recent public statements where each altered their previous fi-nancial forecasts for this year and 2013, in large measure because of what’s been occurring in China.
In its most recent financial report, Caterpillar said it had seen “lower than expected” growth in China, adding “while we have reduced production in China substantially, we have not seen an improvement in sales yet, and, as a result, the inventory reduction in China is slower than we had expected.”
Cat also said that while it remained very positive about China for the long term, “our plans for the remainder of 2012 reflect a continued orderly ramp down of production that considers our entire supply chain in China. Given
the current low rate of sales and the produc-tion ramp down, it will likely take the rest of 2012 and continu-ing into 2013 to reduce inventory to levels more in line with sales.”
Engine and component manufacturer Cummins also sounded the alarm, not-ing “demand in China has weakened in most end markets,” while Hitachi Con-struction Machinery Co. shut down its Hefei, China, excavator plant for two weeks a month for three months be-cause of slumping machine sales.
It’s interesting to note that unlike many regions of the world, China’s economy was statistically positive, re-cording a 2012 GDP that is likely to fin-ish between +7.6 and +8% — results that would be cause for wild celebra-tion in most places. But if the slump in China has seemed more severe, it’s because the country had been seeing mostly double-digit growth for nearly a decade, with the machinery industry going along for the ride.
But that ride has slowed significant-ly and isn’t likely to change directions any time soon, despite the govern-ment’s efforts to jump-start the econ-omy with a €123 billion investment in 60 infrastructure projects, including roads, ports and airports announced in September. A combination of fac-tors, including too much production capacity built up over the last decade, too much machinery in the pipeline
and too many financially stressed suppliers remain major headwinds.
“Future market demand will largely depend on economic policy, which is challenged by the potential risk of in-flation and the need to sustain growth at a certain level, so there is an un-certain outlook for the medium term,” Phillips said. “Currently, the prevailing view is that the market will recover in 2013 from the current depressed lev-els, with continued investment input. However, one cannot expect another major fiscal stimulus package that may result in renewed inflation.”
While the economic conditions gener-ated the most interest, it wasn’t the only news out of China this year. Most sig-nificant were a pair of acquisitions that marry Western technological prowess with Chinese manufacturing capabili-ties. In late September, Austrian diesel engine specialist Steyr Motors GmbH was purchased by Chinese investment group Phoenix Tree HSC Investment (Wuhan) Co Ltd (PTC). More informa-tion about that deal can be found else-where in this issue.

In January, Chinese construction and farming equip-ment giant Shandong Heavy Indus-try Group — Weichai Group also an-nounced it had reached agreements with the major creditors of the Italian luxury yacht maker Ferretti Group to acquire a controlling interest in the company.
While China generated the most news overall, there was also no shortage of activity by other companies. Recently Doosan announced it was developing its own Tier 4/EU Stage 3b engine for its iconic Bobcat branded machinery. The new engines will be used in spe-cific machine lines beginning in 2014 and more information is again available elsewhere in this issue.
There was also plenty of news on the engine side, with Cummins unveiling its smallest electronically con-trolled off-highway diesel, the 2.8 L QSF2.8 engine rated 37 to 55 kW. Meanwhile, MTU made news on the other end of the engine spectrum by unveiling the newest generations of its Series 2000 and Series 4000 diesels that the company said will meet EU and EPA emissions levels without the use of aftertreatment.
This year, JCB also had its single-biggest product launch with more than two dozen new machines, in-cluding new excavators that are for the first time pow-ered by the company’s own Dieselmax engines. And in autumn, Volvo Trucks announced the development of its first Euro 6 engine, the 338 kW, 13 L, six-cylinder D13 diesel that will be launched in the newest generation of its FH series trucks. dpi

Mixing To Meet 2014
Proventia introduces SuperTornado AdBlue/DEF mixing unit to reduce NOx for Tier 4 final/Stage 4 emissions requirements
By Bo SvenSSon
With the Tier 4 final emis-sions regulations coming into force in 2014, NOx
emissions levels will have to be reduced even further. This is a challenging target for manufacturers of components making up a com-plete emissions reduction device. Proventia is introducing its AdBlue/DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) mixing
the emission reduction target is over 95%,” said Arno Amberla, vice presi-dent, Technology at Proventia. “Effi-cient mixing of the DEF is essential, in particular at low gas temperatures, in order to reach the target. At low tem-peratures, evaporation and hydrolysis of the DEF play a major role in order to achieve even NOx reactions over the SCR catalyst.”
unit SuperTornado, which provides an efficient and optimal mixing of the AdBlue/DEF in order to reach the re-quired NOx target. Proventia’s new unit has been developed especially for Tier 4 final/Stage 4 requirements.
“With the SCR (selective catalytic re-duction) technology the challenge lays in an optimal injecting of the AdBlue/DEF into exhaust gas, as in practice

Proventia’s SuperTornado AdBlue/DEF (diesel ex-haust fluid) mixing unit is shown integrated with its diesel oxidation catalyst. The mixing unit provides the optimal injection of DEF into the exhaust gas to re-duce NOx in Tier 4 final/Stage 4 application.
These are the flow trajecto-ries in the exhaust pipe. After a typical mixing length of 1 m, the flow uniformity index and NH3 uniformity index are designed to be almost equal.
DPI486.indd 1 11/7/12 12:29 PM
Diesel Progress international 53
The new SuperTornado follows Proventia’s previous ver-sion, the Tornado AdBlue/DEF mixing unit, which was devel-oped for Tier 4 interim applications.
In the SuperTornado, there are two swirl flows creat-ing a shear force on AdBlue droplets. Injection is in the middle flow. As evaporation proceeds, mixing takes place in the region between the inner and outer flow. After a typical mixing length of 1 m, the flow uniformity index and NH3 uniformity index are almost equal. With the Super-Tornado mixing is up to 0.99 NH3 uniformity index. This will allow a higher NOx reduction by getting the most out of the SCR catalyst chemistry. The Proventia mixer also makes it possible to inject more AdBlue/ DEF into the exhaust gas.
“When an SCR process uses airless dosing of DEF/Ad-Blue, it can lead to mixing issues, especially in nonroad ap-plications,” Amberla said. “With airless dosers, DEF spray droplets are larger in diameter and the mixing to the exhaust gas can be incomplete, which means that the required NOx
reduction target cannot be reached. Also an even wall film formation or urea deposits are a potential risk. With our mixing unit injection of more DEF in lower temperatures over minimal pipe lengths can be done without compromis-ing the mixing efficiency.”
Proventia spends much effort in tailoring and integrating emissions control systems to OEM engines and applica-tions. For medium-volume OEM off-road manufacturers and engine manufacturers, Proventia offers complete solutions.
A number of requirements are put on a mixing unit. It is important to deliver an even distribution of the ammonia. It should also help water evaporation from the DEF and ensure optimal reactions with ammonia without unwant-ed side effects. It is also important that a compact size and design of the mixer make it fit easily to most engines and applications. Proventia said its DEF mixing unit can be tailored to various applications, engine sizes and op-erating environments.
“We provide full-scale emission control knowledge by integrating expertise and design to engineer the exhaust aftertreatment systems in close cooperation with engine manufacturers. Here their own emission control concepts and certified components can be used,” Amberla said. “The systems are individually customized to fit the machine man-ufacturer’s applications and operating conditions.”
Proventia tests its mixing units at its engine and emis-sions laboratory, which is equipped with the latest emis-sions measurement equipment. It has two test cells with Horiba test benches for diesel engines up to 470 kW. For emissions measurement a range of analyzers are installed, including Horiba, AVL and Dekati. dpi

The Tier 4 TumulT Continues
Bobcat’s plan to use new Doosan-built, no-DPF diesel just the latest change wrought by engine emissions standards
By Mike Brezonick
There were those who suggest-ed that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Tier 4 die-sel engine emissions regula-
tions would be just another set of standards and that their implementa-tion would be a relatively minor blip in terms of the overall engine-powered equipment industry.
The reality however has been that Tier 4 is subtly changing not only the technology, but also the landscape for many engine-powered equipment manufacturers and their suppliers.
The latest case in point is Bobcat Co., which in October announced the path it will take to meet the Tier 4 final standards, a decision that will affect the power for much of its machine line beginning in 2014.
That path will include an entirely new engine developed by its parent company, Korea’s Doosan Infracore,
broad range of applications, includ-ing automotive, industrial, generator sets, stationary power systems and marine propulsion.
What is known is that the new Doo-san-built engines will not require a diesel particulate filter, which was ap-parently a key aspect of the decision to develop its own engine rather than continue to exclusively use engines from its longtime supplier, Kubota. “With these additional engines, Bob-cat will be a market leader in non-DPF Tier 4 technology,” Goldsbury said. “Our customers and dealers prefer it, and it minimizes long-term Tier 4 parts and maintenance expenses.”
In response to inquiries, Bobcat said the non-DPF solution is part of its Tier 4 strategy.
“Having a non-DPF solution mini-mizes long-term Tier 4 parts and maintenance expenses and reduces
and a group of global engineering consultancies, including Ricardo and FEV.
“These new Tier 4 solutions combine Doosan’s 50 years of engine-building experience with Bobcat’s 50 years of compact equipment leadership,” said Rich Goldsbury, Bobcat president. “Add to that the combined experience of our other partners and you have more than 200 years of experience in engine design and development, and compact equipment expertise.”
There are few details available on the new Doosan engine, which the company said will be manufactured at a new compact engine factory in Incheon, Korea, situated near the company’s existing engine building operations. Doosan has built engines since the late 1950s and currently manufactures diesel and gaseous fueled engines up to 844 kW for a

Starting in 2014, Bobcat skid-steer loaders such as this S650 will be powered by a Doosan-built engine that does not require a diesel particulate filter.

daily maintenance requirements and complexity,” the company said. “In dis-cussions with Kubota, they could not offer this option.”
What seems also to have played a role was the fact Kubota, which has been a major supplier of diesels for many types of compact equipment over the years, began supplying en-gines to Caterpillar for 11 models in its Building Construction Products Division (BCP) product range earlier this year. Cat-branded Kubota en-gines are being used in Cat’s D se-ries skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders and E series excava-tors, along with the 906H, 907H and 908H wheel loaders.
“As more manufacturers align with engine manufacturers or become direct competitors, it made sense for Bobcat to find a partner that isn’t a competitor but rather part of the same organization to ensure supply capac-ity and responsiveness,” Bobcat said. “Doosan can provide the non-DPF so-lution Bobcat wants for Tier 4.”
However, Bobcat also said it would continue to use Kubota engines in some of its equipment. “We have a good working relationship with them and will continue to use their engines in select machines,” the company said.
The first new 2014 machines to use the new Doosan engines will be the Bobcat 500 and 600 series skid-steer and compact track load-ers. The company said some mini- excavator models will have the Doo-san engines in early 2014 as well, while the 700 and 800 series skid-steer and compact track loaders would transition to the Doosan engine “at a later date, when final Tier 4 re-quirements affect the engine sizes used in these machines.”
Over the next 18 months, Bobcat said it plans to release more details on the Bobcat Tier 4 machines and their engines.
Bobcat’s announcement was just the latest in a series of events that in-dicate just how much Tier 4 is driving change throughout nearly every level
of the engine and equipment industry. As a result of Tier 4 standards, we’ve seen manufacturers such as Terex rationalize and streamline equipment lines; several engine manufacturers (JCB, Cummins, Kohler) unveil diesels with no DPFs, while others embrace selective catalytic reduction with and without DPFs; and we’ve seen new
OEM-supplier arrangements (Cat and Kubota, Toro and Yanmar). And at times the pace and scope of change has been stunning.
And as Tier 4 final phase-ins occur in each of the next two years for dif-ferent diesel horsepower categories, it seems likely we’ll see even more in the months ahead. Stay tuned. dpi

Volvo CEO Olof Persson an-nounced that Volvo will invest R$1 billion (US$500 million) in Brazil over the next three
years in an effort to expand the com-pany’s business in the South Ameri-can region.
The investments include improve-ments at Volvo’s industrial park in Curitiba, Paraná State, the introduc-tion of a new truck brand, the debut of the new FH truck line in Brazil and Volvo’s entry into the light and medi-um vehicle segment. Currently Volvo manufactures primarily F and VM se-ries heavy-duty trucks in Brazil. The company began production in Curitiba in 1980.
“Brazil’s Volvo is today an important part of the industry of commercial ve-hicles in the country,” said Roger Alm, Volvo’s president in Latin America.
“We manufacture in Curitiba the same models manufactured in Sweden, bringing the latest technologies to the Brazilian transport segment, export-ing and generating foreign exchange to the country.”
At Curitiba, Volvo manufactures cabs, engines, trucks, bus chassis and transmissions. The site also en-compasses the headquarters for Volvo Construction Equipment Latin Ameri-ca, Volvo Financial Services Latin America and Volvo Penta Brasil. Volvo also has a plant in Pederneiras city, São Paulo State, where it manufac-tures loaders, articulated trucks, grad-ers, excavators and soil compactors.
New Holland Launches Grape Harvester
The production of Brazilian wine is on the rise, with 77 000 hectares filled with vineyards and bottles export-ed to 22 other nations, such as the United States, Germany, England and Czech Republic.
Capitalizing on this growth, New Holland announced, during the 35th Expointer Fair in Esteio, Rio Grande do Sul State, a new machine for the region: a combine for viticulture. The New Holland Braud harvester will be imported from France in time for the next grape season.
The machine is already in more than 36 countries and can also be used for the harvesting of coffee and olives. The company said the Braud replaces the workforce of 70 people during the grape harvest.
The focus in Rio Grande do Sul State will be in the city of Santana do Livramento. Northeast Brazil is a target as well because it’s a region where there is a high production of grape juice.
The VX7090 model, which is arriv-ing in Brazil, is equipped with a Fiat Powertrain Technologies engine rated between 113 and 131 kW, with six cyl-inders and common rail injection. The

new engine allows fuel economy of up to 35% thanks to its Intelligent System Management, the company said. The IntelliView III screen manages all the machine’s functions and is designed to consume just the necessary power to each operation.
“Besides having the ability of har-vesting, it can be converted for spray-ing. It’s the only such machine in Bra-zil, reducing costs for the producer because of its possibility of function-ality to work during 12 months of the year,” said Luiz Miotto, New Holland’s product expert.
The Braud has a bulk tank with a capacity of 4000 L. Its system of hori-zontal bats, which shakes the plant, is composed of flexible back fixations and a fast front coupling. Thus, the machine separates the fruit smoothly, allowing the calibration of intensity, what allows a selective or total har-vesting, respecting the plant.
São Paulo To Get High Capacity Monorail
São Paulo will be one of the first cit-ies in the world to have a high-capacity monorail. Each train in the project will have seven carriages and transport up to 1000 people. The line is expected to serve 500 000 people a day.
It is expected that the first track, which will link the Vila Prudente
neighborhood to the Pátio Oratório neighborhood, will be ready in 2013. When the line is finished, the route of 26 km between Vila Prudente and Cidade Tiradentes, which to-day takes around two hours, will be made in 50 minutes.
Many companies are working to make it happen. The logistics com-pany Guindastec, for example, has imported two Manitowoc cranes to do the job. According to Nilson Ro-cha, Guindastec’s trade manager, the Grove GMK 5220 all-terrain model is responsible for the lifting of beams. The cranes have a 68 m seven-sec-tion boom.
“Today this is our greatest project in São Paulo and the second biggest in financial terms,” Rocha said. The construction of the monorail started in January 2012. In the first stage, Manitowoc cranes have already laid 400 units of the track beams. In the second stage, the number could jump to 1600 beams.
The monorail project represents a major transportation investment by the São Paulo Metro and the government of São Paulo, along with the govern-ment of Brazil. It reflects the govern-ments’ push to utilize mass transpor-tation as a way to accommodate the country’s rapid population growth.
Guindastec has been in the crane
operation and rental market since 1979. Rocha said it was the first company in Brazil to use all-terrain cranes. The company has worked at several major job sites in Brazil in-cluding the 2016 Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Manitowoc’s general manager in Brazil, Mauro Nunes, said Guindastec is one of its biggest clients in the coun-try. “It’s an enormous and important investment for the city of São Paulo. We are participating on it through our clients, which rent the cranes to the construction companies,” he said.
Along with the Grove GMK5220 crane working on the monorail, Guin-dastec owns another GMK5220, a GMK4100L, a GMK6300, a GMK 5170 and a GMK 5200, all from the company’s all-terrain crane line. It also owns five National Crane 1400A boom trucks.
Nunes said the equipment used in the monorail construction was im-ported, although Manitowoc recently opened a plant in Passo Fundo. “Our production is developing,” Nunes said. “We might have a good production next year, which is going to be a ‘com-plete year’. It’s not going to be a learn-ing period anymore. We will begin the production of tower cranes in June. That’s a project we are working with the plants of Portugal and China.” It’s an expected investment of R$5.4 bil-lion (approximately US$2.7 billion) in the Brazilian monorail.
Marcopolo Announces Training Center
Brazil bus body builder Marcopolo has launched its new training center in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul State. The facility, which occupies 3300 m2, has received an investment of R$2 million (approximately US$1 million). The center has independent cells for each stage of the production process. Besides the administrative office, the site is also equipped with eight classrooms.
“Bus manufacturing demands an intensive workforce and needs a high

quality standard,” said Osmar Piola, Marcopolo’s human resources man-ager. “With more technology used in the products and processes, constant professional updating is required to keep the competitiveness.”
Piola said the investment would guarantee more quality, because the employees being trained will work in a scenario very similar to the real one. “With the new center, people that are being trained will finish the train-ing using the same templates used at the factory. Besides that, they will also learn to program and operate welding robots, identical to ones on the line.”
The company has also announced it is going to supply a social govern-mental educational program in Brazil, called Caminho da Escola, with 4100 school buses. Of this total, with de-livery expected in 2013, 1500 units will be manufactured by the compa-ny in its Volare facility, in Caxias do Sul, and the other 2600 units may be manufactured by its subsidiary Cif-eral Indústria de Ônibus in Duque de Caxias city, Rio de Janeiro State.
JCB Opens New Production Plant
JCB has invested US$100 million in Sorocaba, São Paulo State, to build a 3066 m2 plant where backhoe loaders and tracked excavators will be manufactured.
At full capacity, the new plant will have the capability to produce 10 000 machines a year. The new factory replaces two smaller plants in Soro-caba, the first of which JCB opened in 2001 to produce backhoe loaders — that was repaired and expanded — and the second in 2010 to produce
tracked excavators. At R$202 million (US$100 million), the new factory JCB said represents one of the biggest in-vestments in its 67-year history.
One of the greatest qualities of the plant, said the company, is its parts warehouse, which is three times bigger than the former one, located in Guarul-hos, 100 km from Sorocaba. dpi

Age No BArrier To Emissions REducTion
Next great emissions challenge likely to be retrofit of legacy fleets to reduce black carbon
By Ian Cameron
Huge investment and research activity by engine manufactur-ers and emissions specialists have made a great impact on
the air quality in many parts of the world. As more advanced emissions controls are developed newer commercial ve-hicles are contributing less and less pol-lution to the atmosphere.
That trend continues to shift the fo-
points out black carbon is “a major component of soot” and that “most U.S. emissions of BC come from mo-bile sources (52%), especially diesel engines and vehicles.”
However, Dr. Andy Walker, heavy-duty diesel global technology director at Johnson Matthey Catalysts, a man-ufacturer of vehicle and stationary exhaust emissions control technology
cus onto cleaning up legacy fleets of older vehicles and the specific danger some pose — the emissions of so-called black carbon (BC) created by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass.
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, while predicting such emis-sions in the United States are project-ed to decline substantially by 2030,
This is a view of heavy-duty diesel catalyst manufacturing at Johnson Matthey.

based in Royston, England, believes that as advanced emissions controls come into force around the world, newer vehicles will contribute less to the overall pollution emitted globally. This means more attention should be paid to retrofitting legacy fleets, espe-cially since he noted the emissions from older engines retrofitted with the right technology can have the same emissions levels as new engines.
Walker addressed the subject at the 2012 Society of Automotive En-gineers’ Heavy Duty Diesel Emission Control Symposium, which was spon-sored by Johnson Matthey and held recently in Gothenburg, Sweden.
“Cleaning up the legacy fleet really will have a very large effect on reduc-ing emissions, particularly as we look at some of the emissions that have not been the main focus in the past,” Walk-er said. “Traditionally, there has been a focus on tackling the emission of the criteria pollutants such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen ox-ides and sulphur oxides. But there is an increased focus on black carbon.
“New vehicles in Europe will soon have particulate filters fitted as they have for some years in the United States and Japan, and the black carbon emis-sions from these systems are extremely low. However, the legacy fleets can pro-duce significant black carbon emissions and one of the beauties of tackling such emissions, from a technology retrofit aspect, is that it has a very rapid impact on climate change because the lifetime of black carbon in the atmosphere is weeks rather than the decades associ-ated with say, carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere.”
Walker pointed out that there are challenges to overcome if retrofit pro-gram are to be implemented.
“There have been a lot of good and very successful retrofit program around the world and we have partici-pated in a lot of those,” he said. “But the key to driving them is an acknowl-edgement that there is a pollution problem and that is often driven by in-ner city air quality.
“Some of the major drives against
city pollution have been associated with big cities such as New York, Tokyo and London. An acknowledgement of the problem is required as well as the technology to resolve it.
“Another consideration, however, is that although the technology exists to reduce emissions, we do also need to ensure that the technologies are go-ing to be completely robust over the entire application cycle of a vehicle because with very cold duty cycles, it can be challenging to get completely robust filter regeneration. So part of the evaluation of the suitability of the fleet for retrofit involves temperature monitoring over a typical duty cycle to make sure we are confident the prod-ucts will work over those cycles.
“The other aspect which is critical is funding. Someone needs to pay for retrofit schemes. It generally does need local government funding as it tends to be something that is city-specific rather than countrywide when you look at targeting the urban emis-sions for example.”
Walker said there are “significant opportunities for retrofit in the BRIC markets (Brazil, Russia, India and China), where there are often high levels of pollution in urban areas along with large fleets of higher emission ve-hicles.” Yet to date, he said there has been little retrofit activity in those mar-kets. “The emerging markets for ret-rofit activity will be those areas which have not had significant retrofit activity to date such as Russia, India, China and Brazil,” he said.
Walker also said vehicles such as buses and trucks with retrofitted emis-sions technology can match the low emissions levels provided by new ve-hicles. “For example, take the retrofit scheme associated with the Transport for London initiative,” he said. “It required retrofit systems to provide very high lev-els of particulate matter reduction which is equivalent to any advanced new emissions legislation in the world.” dpi

In a move which underpins its pres-ence in the country, Perkins will launch its first electronically con-trolled, Tier 3/Stage 3a compliant en-
gine for the Chinese market at this year’s bauma China trade show in Shanghai.
The unveiling of the 1106D-E70TA diesel is also something of a coup for the Perkins factory in Wuxi, China, as it is solely responsible for the engine’s design, engineering and manufacture.
The 1106D-E70TA, 7 L, six-cylinder diesel incorporates a Bosch high-pressure common rail fuel injection system, a single-stage turbocharger and is air-to-air charge air cooled. It can produce up to 205 kW at 2200 r/min with a maximum torque of 1050 Nm at 1400 r/min.
Perkins said the new engine of-fers OEMs a “seamless transition be-tween mechanical and electronic” as it shares a common platform with its six-cylinder mechanical counterpart, the
cylinder unit capable of producing 225 kW which, Perkins said, gives OEMs who may previously have chosen a larg-er engine, the choice of the same power from a smaller engine package.
The launch of the engine at bauma China is the latest development by Perkins in Asia. It follows the decision earlier this year by the company to begin manufacturing its 4000 Series engines in India.
Its new factory will be in the Shen-dra Industrial Area in Aurangabad with a completion date targeted for mid-2013. Initially it will have the capacity to produce around 3000 engines per year with the capability to increase to 5000. It is anticipated the workforce will grow from 60 em-ployees to approximately 450 when it opens next year. dpi
1106C-70TA diesel, which will also be on display at the bauma China show.
Alongside the new arrival, Perkins will also be exhibiting models from its 400, 850, 1100 and 1200 Series en-gine ranges.
Two versions of the 400 series will be shown — the Tier 4 interim 403D-15 and the Tier 4 final 404F-22, a four-cylinder, 2.2 L model that is naturally aspirated and produces 38 kW at 3000 r/min with 143 Nm of torque at 1800 r/min.
Perkins said the Tier 4 final 854F-E34T will be of interest for OEMs look-ing to downsize equipment while retain-ing peak performance of up to 55 kW. The engine has a Bosch common rail fuel injection system, wastegate turbo-charger and aftercooler, all regulated by full authority electronic controls.
At the top end Perkins is displaying its 1200 Series. The Tier 4 interim 1204E-E44TA will be exhibited together with the Tier 4 final 1206F-70TTA, a 7 L, six-

The Shape Of Things To Come?
Steyr’s acquisition by Chinese group seen as another example of takeovers merging Western technology
with low-cost production and new markets
By Ian Cameron
Stefan Hasper is a very busy man. He is a dealmaker and the managing director of GCI Management Consult-
ing GmbH — a company takeover, merger and financing consultancy based in Germany.
Hasper is currently handling sev-eral different Chinese investment groups that are looking for invest-ment opportunities in Europe. In one recent week, he had several meet-ings and site visits with different Chinese parties looking for takeover prospects in Germany.
His Munich-based company was also instrumental in advising on the takeover of Austria’s Steyr Motors by Chinese investment group Phoenix Tree HSC In-vestment (Wuhan) Co. Ltd. (PTC).
GCI specializes in offering con-sultancy advice and has established deep-rooted business contacts in the emerging markets, especially China and India. It was responsible for mak-ing the contact between Steyr Motors and PTC.
companies by buyers from emerg-ing markets in the near to medium term, Hasper was unequivocal. “Yes, because I am already in contact with other Chinese investors which like to invest in Western engineering compa-nies,” he said. “Engineering is the ba-sis for quality products with the new-est technologies.”
GCI had the role of the classical mergers and acquisitions adviser in the deal. “We initialized the transac-tion because we knew what the Chi-nese investor was looking for and screened the market for a right target,” Hasper said. “Then we managed the whole transaction from the first meet-ing until the closing and co-ordinated the legal advisors.
“Our task was to make the deal happen. This means we had to find a solution for all topics and challenges that were acceptable for both parties — and you can believe that a transac-tion between China and Austria has a lot of challenges.
“The positive response to this deal is already very high and I am sure we will get into contact with a lot of Euro-pean companies that are looking for a Chinese investor. Also the Chinese in-vestors that are expanding to Europe have a high inquiry for experienced mergers and acquisitions advisers that understand their needs.”
Hasper denied that the sale to PTC was a result of the increased pres-sures placed upon engine builders by more intense emissions regula-tions. “No it wasn’t,” he said. “But the more intense emissions regulation is a good chance for Steyr Motors to get new customers and new markets.”
So why did Steyr decide to sell?“On the one hand, the succession
of the main shareholders should be arranged, because there is no solu-tion in the family,” Hasper said. “On the other side, the shareholders wanted to improve the competitiveness of Steyr Motors. Therefore they searched for a strong partner to explore new markets.
“The big attraction for companies such as Phoenix Tree to buy compa-
And Hasper is convinced several more takeovers of highly engineered, high-tech manufacturers are in the pipeline as the deals offer a perfect opportunity to bring together Western technology and know-how with low-cost Chinese production and the huge sales potential for products in China.
“The highly increasing demand for low-emission diesel engines in China can currently not be covered by Chi-nese engine manufacturers,” Hasper said. “Steyr Motors develops engines at the highest technical level, but was so far mainly able to produce its en-gine range in small series.
“Through the partnership with the Chinese investor PTC the company now gets a direct market access to the Chinese market as well as modern lo-cal production sites for volume produc-tion. The Chinese investor mainly con-vinced the Austrian company through its strategic vision and detailed market knowledge.”
Asked if he anticipated similar acqui-sitions of Western engine/engineering

nies such as Steyr is the high quality of products, ex-cellent engineering and the fact that the diesel engine industry in China is a strong, growing market.”
The Steyr Motors agreement saw the shareholders of the Austrian company and PTC close a purchase deal involving Steyr Motors GmbH and subsidiaries, including Steyr Mo-tors North America Inc., Panama City, Fla.
Steyr Motors, whose major shareholder is Prof. Dr. Ru-dolf Streicher, specializes in the development and produc-tion of high-power diesel engines for a range of applications including light armored vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, hybrid trolley buses and marine pleasure craft and workboats.
Steyr said it has now set itself a new goal of expanding its engineering and production volume in Steyr, Austria, with the help of PTC. The two companies are also working to establish new business opportunities in China. To make that happen, the companies said it would be necessary to develop new en-gines, while “simultaneously extending the market activities in Asia by cooperation with local production facilities.”
The base in Austria will be expanded to become the worldwide engineering center for the new group with a fo-cus on developing new diesel engines for stationary and special vehicles as well as marine and general aviation ap-plications. Extra areas next to the production hall in Steyr have also been purchased.
“To be able to stay competitive we need new, potential distribution channels and markets providing fast and sus-tainable growth,” Dr. Streicher said. “Based on our experi-ence and due to intensive market research this is only possible together with a strong, local partner.
“We have now found this future oriented, strategic partner in Phoenix Tree HSC Investment (Wuhan) Co. Ltd. We are looking forward to become part of the next league of engine manufacturers and to the further development of the loca-tion in Steyr to a global engineering center.”
The two companies said Steyr, with its experience in en-gine and injection system development, will start working on the improvement of existing, currently produced Chinese diesel engines.
“As an investor from China, we will bring along a new de-velopment opportunity to Steyr, which is currently active in the high-tech niche markets,” said Xiaojiang Liu, a member of the board of directors of PTC. “This opportunity originates from the mass markets of diesel engines, the vast low cost manufacturing capacities and the abundant capital in China.
“We will develop Steyr Motors into a worldwide R&D center for a new generation of diesel engines, as well as the produc-tion base for customized high-power engine applications for the European and North American markets.
“In the future we will continuously inject R&D capital and low-cost quality components to Steyr Motors, to gradually ex-tend its existing R&D and production capacities at Steyr, in order to safeguard its current market position as a high-end

specialist and in parallel to grow it into a leading diesel engine manufacturer in the mass markets.”
The Steyr acquisition is the latest in a series of takeovers of European engineering companies by Chinese investors. Earlier this year, China’s Sany Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. an-nounced its acquisition of Germany’s Putzmeister, one of the world’s lead-ing concrete machinery manufactur-ers with Aichtal, Germany becoming Sany’s new headquarters for concrete machinery outside China.
In January, Chinese construction and farming equipment giant Shan-dong Heavy Industry Group – Wei-chai Group announced it had reached agreements with the major creditors of the Italian luxury yacht maker Fer-retti Group to acquire a controlling in-terest in the company.
“These countries have strong grow-ing markets, therefore they are looking for fitting technologies,” Hasper said. “If they do not want to be dependent on the Western world in the future, they have to get more engineering power. The fastest way to get it is to invest in companies that already have it.” dpi

Deutz AG, Robert Bosch GmbH and J. Eberspächer GmbH & Co. KG have restructured their diesel exhaust aftertreatment alliance. Deutz and Eb-erspächer will sell their shares in Bosch Emission Systems GmbH (BESG) to the majority shareholder Bosch. The purchase price has not been disclosed and the transaction is subject to approv-al from government authorities.
Deutz and Bosch then announced they would intensify their future collabo-ration as part of an innovation partner-ship in exhaust aftertreatment, diesel in-jection technology and electronics. The aim of this partnership is to integrate the drive technology systems for mo-bile machinery more tightly, the compa-nies said. BESG will continue to supply Deutz with aftertreatment systems.
BESG was established in 2010 in Germany and has supplied aftertreat-ment modules for construction equip-ment, agricultural machinery and commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses.
Volvo said it would invest $500 mil-lion in Brazil over the next three years. The investments include improve-ments at Volvo’s industrial park in Cu-ritiba, Paraná State, the introduction of a new truck brand, the debut of the new FH truck line in Brazil and Vol-vo’s entry into the light and medium vehicle segment. More information is available elsewhere in this issue.
JCB announced it has received a contract to supply its Tier 4 Ecomax diesel engines in an agreement initially worth almost US$4.8 million a year. The deal is with Johnston Sweep-ers, Dorking, England, which supplies equipment to the public sector, con-
tractors, the rental market and airports. The Ecomax engines will power a new range of truck mounted sweepers. Production of the engines for Johnston Sweepers starts in December. John-ston Sweepers will predominantly be supplied with JCB’s 4.4 L 55 kW Eco-max engine, which is Tier 4 final ready, without an SCR system.
Westport Innovations Inc., a sup-plier of natural gas engines and en-gine technology, has announced an agreement with India’s Tata Motors to develop an engine for light- and medi-um-duty trucks and buses. Details of the combustion technology are being withheld for competitive reasons. Upon successful completion of the develop-ment phase, commercialization is ex-pected to follow, with Westport supply-ing key natural gas engine components based on the proprietary technology being developed in this program.
Doosan Portable Power has opened a new manufacturing facility in Doddaballapur, India, about 40 km north of Bangalore, for the production of portable air compressors and light towers. The factory has capacity to produce 2000 portable air compres-sors and light towers annually.
The facility will also house all Doo-san India Operations, along with Doo-san Portable Power’s manufacturing. Additional plans will include opening a trading warehouse for other Doosan brands, including Doosan excavators, Bobcat machines and Montabert hy-draulic breakers.
The Liebherr Group said it has acquired concrete pump manufactur-er Waitzinger, Neu-Ulm, Germany. Waitzinger Baumaschinen GmbH em-
ploys about 60 people and specializes in truck-mounted concrete pumps, trailer concrete pumps and truck mix-er concrete pumps.
The company, based in Bad Schus-senried, has developed and produced mobile and stationary mixing plants, as well as truck mixers and conveyor belts for truck mixers.
JCB also announced that it would establish a factory in India at the Ma-hindra Lifespace Developers’ Mahin-dra World City (MWC) in Jaipur. This is the fourth JCB plant in India. The 70 acres of the MWC will be used to set up a manufacturing plant for JCB India. The company would not confirm which products would be built at the new factory.
