DEUTZINSIDE 2 I 2014
Dear readers,
In this year DEUTZ is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Today
we can hardly imagine life today without the development of the
combustion engine. How significantly this invention has shaped
our lives, also became clear within the context of our anniversary ceremony, hosted in the Koelnmesse in May. 150 years of
DEUTZ stand for efficient, sustainable engine technology and
for the development of the four-stroke engine, which got motorisation in motion across the world. This special anniversary was
celebrated with DEUTZ customers, partners and suppliers, but also with high-ranking
politicians and business representatives, including the Prime Minister of North RhineWestphalia, Hannelore Kraft, and the Lord Mayor of Cologne, Jürgen Roters, who was
impressed by the eventful history of the company in his city (report and images as of p. 6).
We are particularly happy that, in addition to the fact that DEUTZ could build on the previous year's good development in the first quarter of 2014, this positive business development has continued within the course of the year. When compared with the previous
year, sales and turnover have increased significantly, and the operative result, before
taking account of one-time items, was virtually doubled. Regardless, with 746.8 million
euros, the incoming orders remained behind the record high of the previous year (H1
2013: 843.5 million euros). Following numerous quarters with particularly high incoming
orders, this has declined in the second quarter and amounted to 332.6 million euros, after
414.2 million euros in the previous quarter. In the period under review, sales increased
to 99.079 engines and thus, in comparison to the same period in the previous year, increased by 15.3 per cent (H1 2013: 85.907 engines). Especially in the second quarter of
2014, a considerable increase was noted: With 54,622 sold engines, the same quarter
of the previous year could be surpassed by 10.0 per cent and the previous quarter by
22.9 per cent. When compared with the previous year, turnover also increased by 13.8
per cent in the first six months of the current fiscal year, to 753.4 million euros (H1 2013:
662.1 million euros). In the process, revenues in all regions – EMEA (Europe, Middle East
and Africa), America and Asia/Pacific – could be extended.
These are the innovations that have always propelled DEUTZ. Recognising long-term
developments and reacting to them in an innovative manner is what characterises strong
companies. In this issue, we will be taking a closer look at these ‘Megatrends’, a phrase
that was first coined in 1982. It serves to describe changes in the economy and in society
such as, e.g. urbanisation. A growing population is to be provided with food, urbanisation
proceeds apace and global trade is increasing. These trends will not come to an end for
a very long time. They affect Europe in the same way as all regions of the world – and all
those who produce engines and work with them. (as of p. 10).
With regard to sustainability, efficiency and design, the ‘Lamborghini Trattori’ are sending
out strong signals (p. 20). The tractors with DEUTZ motorisation are perfection in shape
on four wheels, and they have won numerous awards. That DEUTZ encourages exceptional performance can be seen in an emotional contribution on p. 32. With his 80 years
of age, Winfried Langner, who goes on extended tours through Europe in memory of his
late wife, has in the meantime become a true celebrity. He was accompanied by many
journalists on the DEUTZ vintage car D15 and has touched the hearts of plenty of people.
DEUTZ INSIDE visited him at his home in Lower Saxonian Lauenförde, to find out more
about his experiences.
Be inspired by these and other stories. I wish you lots of fun with it.
Kind regards

Dr Margarete Haase, Member of the
Board of Directors at DEUTZ AG, has
been elected the new CEO by the
members’ meeting of the kölnmetall
Employers’ Association. Margarete
Haase, who has been on the board of

the office of CEO from the outgoing
CEO Felix Kirchgässler. Dr Margarete
Haase emphasises the importance of
the metal and electrical industry for
Cologne as a business location. ‘The
metal and electrical industry is an important driving force behind the Metropolitan region of Cologne. But without
viable concepts to ensure the supply
of skilled employees and the next
generation of specialists, its innovative
powers are threatened with becoming
lost,’ explains Haase. ‘It is therefore a
matter close to my heart that we must
continue to push forward with dual
training in the industrial-technical field,
as the metal and electrical industry is
an attractive employer with outstanding working conditions.’

‘Souvenirs, Souvenirs’ – a musical journey
back to the time of the economic miracle
Economic miracle – a federal German post-war phenomenon associated with petticoats, groovy rock ‘n’ roll rhythms and the long-awaited trip in the VW Beetle to
Italy. A time when everything seemed possible and the federal Republic was coming
back to life. All of Paris dreamt of love, it was supposed to rain red roses and many
a person met their great love, the ‘sugar doll from the belly dance troupe’. This lively
and at the same time melancholy time of ‘Souvenirs, Souvenirs’ was revived by the
DEUTZ Choir in Cologne in its large summer concert at the Cologne philharmonic.
Supported by high-profile guest stars, the Cologne choir transported its audience
on a musical journey back to the time of the economic miracle. Under the direction
of Heinz-Walter Florin, the soloists Freddy Albers, Christiane Florin, Nicole Mühe
and Claudia Engels sang popular hits of the time. It was just as important to include
numbers by Freddy Quinn and Hans Albers as the classics of Caterina Valente and
Hildegard Knef as well as Karl Berbuer und Gerhard Jussenhoven. The DEUTZ Choir
was also able to engage to popular artists of the time in Bill Ramsey and Angelina
Monti. With hits like ‘Ohne Krimi geht die Mimi nie ins Bett’, the ‘Zuckerpuppe aus
der Bauchtanztruppe’, ‘Brazil’ and ‘Quando, quando’ they sang – with the support
of the powerful voices of the DEUTZ Choir and the north-west German Philharmonic – popular catchy tunes
of the time, ensuring that
the Cologne Philharmonic
succumbed to the swinging charm of the 1950s.

DEUTZ AG announced
at the end of July that
it would be leaving the
replacement
engine
production location in
Übersee am Chiemsee.
Three months earlier,
the company had announced it was examining the possibility of
relocating the DEUTZ
Xchange works to Ulm.
After a thorough and comprehensive analysis, the management board at DEUTZ AG
has now decided to close the replacement engine production works in Übersee and
integrate the replacement engine production into the plant in Ulm. By concentrating
production at one site, it is possible to increase productivity and reduce the burden of
fixed costs. The synergies here result essentially from the use of the infrastructure of the
Ulm plant, as well as synergies in the overhead fields.
With the Korean tractor manufacturer
Tong Yang Moolsan (TYM), DEUTZ AG
has been able to acquire a new partner
for long-term collaboration in the field of
agricultural engineering. TYM is the first
tractor manufacturer to be supplied by
DEUTZ in Asia. The Korean company
recently received the new engines of
the TCD 2.9 series, which have been
specially further developed for agricultural technology. With the collaboration,
DEUTZ is successfully strengthening its
strategic position in Asia.
‘The decision to integrate our factory in Übersee into the plant in Ulm was not an easy
one for us to take. But with the concentration of replacement engines in Ulm we are
creating the basis for our growth strategy in the Xchange and service area. For this
reason this is the right decision for the company from the strategic prospective,’ explains DEUTZ CEO Dr Helmet Leube.
157 employees are affected by the closure of the site. The DEUTZ management board
and works council will be drawing up a reconciliation of interests and social compensation plan for the affected employees.
‘It is our objective to acquire as many employees as possible for a job in Ulm. For
this we are going to develop working time models which are tailored to the situation
together with the works council and offer financial compensation for second homes and
travel expenses, for example,’ says Dr Margarete Haase, Director of Finance, Human
Resources and Investor Relations.
DEUTZ expands its presence in Asia
The LACP jury reviews more than 4000 submitted
reports every year from up to 20 countries. These are assessed on the basis of different criteria, including the first visual impression, the cover picture, writing style, design and layout, as well as transparency
and expressiveness.

China
China is the largest growth
market in the Asian region for
DEUTZ. In Shanghai, which is
primarily a centre for the European and American customers of DEUTZ, the Colognebased company has now
opened a new sales office.
In the new office, sales employees as well as application and service engineers will be working to further expand
customer support.
In 2010, DEUTZ had already set up a sales and service company in addition to the existing representative office in Beijing in order to bundle its local activities. With the new
sales office in Shanghai, DEUTZ is strengthening its local market presence in Central
and South China, laying a further building block towards success in the world’s most
important growth market.
The focus of the large Seoul-based corporation is on the production of tractors
and rice-harvesting machines. Each year,
Tong Yang Moolsan produces about
10,000 tractors in the performance
range from 23 to 100 hp at its plant in the
Korean city of Busan. They are primarily
destined for the Asian
and North American
markets but are sold
in Europe as well.
The tractors of
the T604, T654,
T754 family will be
equipped onwards
with the DEUTZ
TCD 2.9 L4 developed specially for
use in agricultural technology. The water-cooled 4-cylinder inline engine impresses with its optimum
cold-start capability even under extreme
conditions. The super-compact engine
design as well as a customer-oriented
modular system of optional parts for
attachment reduces installation costs
while also increasing the number of applications.
The TCD 2.9 provides a modular exhaust
gas after-treatment system (EGR) attachable optionally to the engine, thereby facilitating a drop-in installation of the entire
system. The engine is available with and
without turbocharger as well as optionally
with or without charge air cooling.
‘We are pleased to have found a new
and reliable partner in the agricultural
equipment sector in Tong Yang Moolsan.
This collaboration allows us to expand
our presence in the Asian and North
American market’, says Michael Wellenzohn, DEUTZ AG Board of Management,
Sales/Service and Marketing.

150 years DEUTZ – The Origin of HighTech
It was in 1864 when Nicolaus August
Otto and Eugen Langen founded the
first engine factory in the world with
‘N.A. Otto & Cie.’ in Cologne. 150 years
later, on 9 May 2014, DEUTZ AG invited
guests to the solemn anniversary ceremony at Cologne Trade Fair in order to
celebrate the special birthday in an appropriate manner. In addition to DEUTZ
customers, partners and suppliers,
representatives of regional and national
politics and business attended the ceremony, including the Minister-President
of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia,
Hannelore Kraft, and the Mayor of Cologne, Jürgen Roters.
Countless metres of fabric coverings,

officially opening the celebrations for the
150th anniversary of the company.
The Cologne company received special
praise from the North Rhine-Westphalian Minister-President Hannelore Kraft.
She congratulated DEUTZ on the 150th

EUROPE,
the mega trendsetter
How to deal with long-term developments
in Europe and the world
A growing population has to be supplied with food, urbanisation continues to expand, world trade is growing and natural resources have to be strictly protected. These trends
are well known and they will not come to an end for a very
long time. But most of all: they affect Europe in the same
way as all regions of the world – and all those who produce
engines and work with them.
TITLE
Not without reason DEUTZ is convinced
that diesel engines will still be in demand
in the future. Irrespective of short-term
economic fluctuations or crises such as
that occurred in 2008, which hit the technology sector in Europe and worldwide
very hard, there are also so-called megatrends which over the long term ensure
growing demand for fuel-efficient, performance-optimised and low-emission
engines. Improvements in efficiency in
agriculture which are the precondition
for being able to supply a constantly
growing world population, can only be
achieved with corresponding machines.
Growing population figures are also
a major driver of the mega trend of
urbanisation: more
and more people
live in towns and
cities, need housing,
infrastructure
and
transport
routes.
One key function in
globalisation and the
associated growth
in streams of goods
and transport is
played by the logistics field. Without
trucks, trains, ships
and
aeroplanes,
logistics is unthinkable. And because
more of everything is being consumed,
but the resources are finite, the subject
of the environment is becoming increasingly important.
Europe in a global context
It has already been touched on: megatrends are a global issue. However, the
‘old’ Europe, from where the industrialisation of the entire world once started,
has a key role to play – and one that
displays several dimensions: On the one
hand, Europe will still be the driver of
such trends in the future. For example,
the awareness that the finite natural resources have to be sustainably managed arrived in the minds of the people
of the densely populated continent
earlier than elsewhere. It is therefore
no coincidence that the EU emission
standards have always been some of
the strictest in the world (for an article
on this, see page 14). On the other
hand, trends such as population growth
or urbanisation have now been mainly
transferred to the emerging countries
and developing regions. Seven of the
10 DEUTZINSIDE 2 I 2014
ten largest conurbations in the world
are located in Asia, with only three in
industrialised countries (Tokyo, New
York, Seoul) and not one in Europe.
And the fact that the most powerful,
economy in the EU – Germany – now
has negative population growth is also
symptomatic. However, in no way does
this make Europe an innocent bystand-
i
er of global development. The further
the megatrends progress, the greater
the interdependence between the world
regions. And one thing is beyond doubt:
A significant portion of the technology
comes from Europe which firstly drives
the global trends and secondly helps to
overcome their challenges – such as the
engines produced by DEUTZ.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
The term ‘megatrend’ is used to refer to changes in the economy and
society which are expected to last a long time and which either occur
and progress globally or within a geographically limited area. One of the
best-known examples: Urbanisation, the tendency that more and more
sections of the population either move to the town or city and/or that
areas which up to now have been rural take on urban structures. The
term ‘megatrends’ was coined by the American futurologist John Naisbitt
in his book published in 1982 Megatrends – 10 new directions transforming our lives.

Population growth and urbanisation
A continually growing world population,
changing dietary habits and the decreasing size of agricultural land demand
huge improvements in efficiency in the
agricultural sector. One key to increased
productivity is powerful machines. As a
long-term partner of agricultural machinery manufacturers, DEUTZ offers a wide
range of engines which are both powerful and economical, from the 912 series
with 32 kW in the basic version to the
TCD 16.0 with up to 520 kW. This covers the entire spectrum, from the fuel-efficient small tractor to high-performance
harvesting machines and larch tractors.
All over the world, more and more
people are living in towns and cities. In
the heartland of the EU, with Germany,
France and the Benelux countries, the
level of urbanisation is over 70%. This is
shown by figures published by the CIA,
which – contrary to popular opinion – is
not only responsible for intelligence activities, but also collects, evaluates and
publishes worldwide statistical data.
While urbanisation will very probably
not continue to increase at the heart of
Europe, its trend in the emerging countries and developing regions continues
unabated. Traffic routes and other forms
of infrastructure are being built there on
a large scale. In contrast, in the densely
populated, highly developed countries
of Europe, it is the maintenance and ex12DEUTZINSIDE 2 I 2014
pansion of roads, energy supply facilities
etc which are the driving force behind
the construction industry. The demand
for all types of construction equipment is
growing accordingly. As one of the largest independent engine manufacturers,
DEUTZ develops and builds diesel engines for a wide range of applications
in the construction sector. These are
powerful, economical and robust even
under difficult conditions, as well as
being quiet, low-emission and compact.
Growing world trade plus resource
efficiency
The worldwide networking of economies, new growth markets and the
tendency to produce consumer goods
increasingly in countries with low wage
levels have resulted in a sharp rise in the
streams of goods and transport. Logistics therefore plays a key role in globalisation, not only on land, but also in the
air and by sea. DEUTZ supplies highperformance, low-emission engines for
trucks, but also for aircraft tractors, for
example, or power units for the ground
support of aircraft.
Apart from the streams of goods, environmental awareness is also growing,
not so much out of ecological idealism,
but more out of the necessity to manage the resources. In view of climate
change and the ever-increasing global
energy consumption, reductions in con-
sumption and emissions are essential.
As an alternative to fossil resources,
regenerative sources of energy continue to be developed more and more.
With the development of fuel-efficient,
low-emission engines, hybrid concepts
and engines which can be operated with
fuels that are renewable, DEUTZ is making a significant contribution to environmental protection. Furthermore: Both
the company and its customers benefit
as market participants from the resulting
introduction of new engine types. Additional growth stimuli are resulting from
new emission technologies which lead
to integrated and more complex drive
systems.
Conclusion
The megatrends dealt with here present
challenges to the manufacturers and
users of diesel engines. Above all, however, they are opening up new opportunities. DEUTZ is ideally equipped with
a broad product portfolio of engines
which covers many industries – from
the tractor, through the truck to the construction machine, from the railway drive
unit, through energy generating sets to
the underground drill. And last but not
least, DEUTZ is very well positioned with
its worldwide service network. These
are the preconditions, thanks to which
the customers of DEUTZ can also successfully address the megatrends.
DEUTZ engines are at home
throughout the world. And with
them also DEUTZ AG and its sales
and service partners. But Europe –
and Germany at its heart – is simply
something special. Because it is
from here that the triumphal march
of the technology started which is
still associated today with the name
of the company founder Nicolaus
August Otto.
Deutz and DEUTZ belong together –
not only in name. In Deutz, a suburb of
Cologne, Nicolaus August Otto began
to build engines after the square in
Cologne city centre had become too
small for the up-and-coming company.
And DEUTZ AG continues to produce
in Deutz today. Components are still
manufactured mechanically here using
state-of-the-art technology. They then
go to the assembly lines in Porz justin-time and just-in-sequence. In this
suburb of Cologne, which is only a few
kilometres away, the heart of DEUTZ
beats in its headquarters, which is not
only the registered office of the PLC,
but also the central research and development site. And still in Cologne: In the
suburb of Kalk, DEUTZ operates its ultramodern logistics centre, from where
all customers and dealers are supplied
by the round-the-clock service.
Between the south of Cologne and
south Spain
South of Cologne is the village of Herschbach with a component plant of
DEUTZ. Here, the main products are
engine assemblies for the assembly
plants in Cologne and Ulm. The latter
city, Ulm, also has a place in the history
world
of DEUTZ. The local team can draw on
decades of experience in the design
and assembly of air and liquid-cooled
engines. The production of replacement
engines, known under the brand name
of DEUTZ Xchange, will also be located
in Ulm in the future.
Finally, with its location in Zafra, DEUTZ
has its own production capacity in
Spain. More specifically, this is the
DEUTZ subsidiary of Diter S.A. As in
Herschbach, this is a component plant.
It is mainly connecting rods, cylinder
heads and gears which are supplied directly from Spain to the assembly lines
in Cologne and Ulm.
European presence beyond manufacturing
It is well known that DEUTZ is strong in
international sales. DEUTZ distributing
companies and sales offices are located in several of the largest economies in
Europe. DEUTZ has its own companies

Interview with Georg Diderich, President of EUROMOT
The graduate economist Georg Diderich has been employed at DEUTZ in a number of different management positions
since 1991. He has been managing the corporate management division since 2009. In addition to this, the 49-year-old
has been the president of EUROMOT, the European Association of Internal Combustion Engine Manufacturers since
2013, of which he has been a member since 2002. During an interview with DEUTZ INSIDE, he explains to which extent
the customers of the member firms can influence the legislative development process
DEUTZ INSIDE: Mr Diderich, you
are Senior Vice President Corporate
Management at DEUTZ AG and also
the President of EUROMOT, the European Association of Internal Combustion Engine Manufacturers. On
the market, the member companies
are competitors. What are they able
to achieve by coming together in an
association?
Georg Diderich: EUROMOT is a European industry association with an international orientation and membership
which deals primarily with environmental
legislation, i.e. with new exhaust emission levels. We represent the interests
of approximately 40 manufacturers of
internal combustion engines for industrial applications which are at home in
Europe, the USA and Asia. By coming
together in an association, we can develop joint technical positions and throw
greater weight into the discussions with
the legislators about new legislation and
requirements for future products than
would be possible for individual companies. As a European association, we are
an accredited discussion partner for the
European institutions, the Commission,
the Parliament and the Council, but also
for transnational legislators such as UNECE (United Nations – Economic Commission for Europe) or UN-IMO (United
Nations – International Maritime Organisation), whose jurisdiction goes well
beyond the European region. Being able
to adopt a uniform industrial position
means that in the most favourable case
it is possible to pass legislation which
is the same all over the world, e.g. for
limits for nitrogen oxides or particulate
matter. EUROMOT can also credibly
represent the subject of international
harmonisation, as we can fall back on
the experience and the contacts of our
non-European members in their respective home markets. If it comes to questions of the interpretation or possible
further developments in the US environmental legislation, for example, we can
apply this knowledge at an early stage in
the legislative processes in Europe. We
pursue these goals in close collaboration with our partner associations in the
USA, Japan, India and – more recently
– also in China.
DEUTZ INSIDE: What are the benefits
of the work of EUROMOT for the customers of the member companies?
Georg Diderich: Work on new legislation is always carried out in close consultation with the European association
of machinery manufacturers. The customers of our member firms are therefore also an active part of the legislative
development process.Through internationally harmonised legislation it is
possible to introduce new emission-reducing technologies and products into
the global markets more quickly and
smoothly than would be possible by
means of individual national regulations.
The positive effect is a further increase in
air quality wherever internal combustion
engines are used. It is our duty as an association to develop common positions
in a way that connects what is technically feasible to what is economically
meaningful and compatible with the environment. For the companies involved,
looking into the future enables better resource planning, lower service and development expenses and the possibility
of correcting developments which are
not technically or economically acceptable when legislation is passed.
DEUTZ INSIDE: EUROMOT has been
in existence since 1991, so that
compared to the corporate history of
DEUTZ, this is a comparatively young
organisation. What would you consider to be the greatest achievement
of EUROMOT since 1991?
Georg Diderich: EUROMOT was
founded in 1991 with the aim of being
able to incorporate and shape industrial
positions for the European emissions
legislation for diesel engines, which
was under development at the time.
One of the important achievements was
certainly bringing together the group of
companies located in Europe, which
was fairly small at the time, into a prestigious association of industrial engine
manufacturers, in which more and more
companies gradually placed their trust,
including those from the USA and Asia.
Today, our member companies represent approximately 95% of the manufacturers of industrial engines operating
in Europe. As a visible outward result of
this long-standing trust and constructive
cooperation, EUROMOT has been issued with accreditation at UN-ECE and
UN-IMO, with the latter even recognising
EUROMOT as the only representative of
the motor industry worldwide. We are of
course very proud of this. Of course it
will also be important for us in the future
to continue to reflect the breadth and diversity of the companies. The increasing
internationalisation and the emergence
of new large economies on the world
market is therefore taken into account
by us with a greater presence in nonEuropean discussions in order to prevent new legislative proposals contradicting the international harmonisation
idea with requirements which are too
individual and locally orientated.
DEUTZ INSIDE: The list of EUROMOT
members reads like the Who’s Who
of the world market leaders. They all
operate globally. What are the specific features of the European market
in particular, and how do you handle
these features?
Georg Diderich: The European treaties
enable the free movement of goods and
services within the Common Economic
Space of the 28 EU Member States.
This means that the directives and regulations adopted by the Parliament and
Council are applied uniformly in all of
the Member States and therefore create
legal certainty for companies within
the EU internal space. Due to the fact
that the Member States are however
allowed to issue tighter national or even
regional regulations, for example the establishment of environmental zones in
Germany, this means that for our field of

Decision-making
and participation
process
The EU emissions legislation continues to progress
The improvement in environmental and health protection resulting from
the reduction in exhaust emissions has become an important driver for the
development of new generations of internal combustion engines. This is
a dynamic process, of which there is no end in sight. For engines in mobile machines, the EU’s emissions standard V is currently in the process of
passing into legislation. With this new standard, Europe has taken on the
role of global pioneer.
Conserving natural resources, reducing
exhaust emissions – this is one of the
megatrends which are furthering the
development of engines (cf. Article on
page 10). In order to be able to provide
engine users worldwide with futureproof products, the engines produced
by DEUTZ always fulfil the strictest emission standards. These standards come
in part from North America, where Tier
4 final represents the current status of
legislation for non-road applications
(e.g. construction machines). They also
come from Europe, where EU level IV for
engines from 56 to 560 kW, which corresponds to the US Tier 4, is currently in
force. Level V is already in preparation.
The current state of legislation
Laws or their amendments on exhaust
emissions in the EU are not only the concern of politicians and officials. Instead,
they arise out of a process of decisionmaking and participation. For the EU V
standard, this began specifically in January 2013 with a so-called Public Stakeholder Consultation. This means nothing
more than the fact that the EU Commission has published a paper in which the
ideas relating to the Law Amendment are
sketched out and with which the stakeholders – for example environmental organisations, producer associations such
as EUROMOT and representatives of
the EU Member States – were invited to
submit their comments and input. With
respect to the V standard, the Commission received almost 70 written replies.
On the basis of this Public Stakeholder
Consultation process, the draft law was
created, which will probably be adopted
by the Commission in the autumn of
2014 and submitted to the European
Parliament. Theoretically, the process
envisaged for the work of the Parliament is comparatively complex, with
up to three readings in the European
Parliament and the European Council,
as well as the possible convening of a
Conciliation Committee. However, from
the perspective of the manufacturers,
the adoption of the new Directive on
the EU V standard for mobile machines

early stage and be able to set binding
development targets.
have had to fulfil in the period from the
introduction of the EU I/II standards to
the upcoming V standard have continued to increase. The IV standard will
also be considered a milestone in emissions reduction in the future, as upon it
coming into force there was a reduction
of approximately 95% for both nitrogen
oxides and particulate emissions (compared to the I standard). With the introduction of new EU standards, existing
limits have been tightened gradually, but
above all new requirements have been
constantly added. A new feature of the V
standard will be, amongst other things,
a particle number limit for engines up
to 560 kW – that is the power range in
which DEUTZ engines are produced.
The limit is to be 1x1012 particles/kWh.
DEUTZ getting ready for the V standard
As a further innovation, the EU V standard will provide for a reporting system
on the measurement of the actual emissions in the field (‘In-Service Conformity’). Knut Feisel, who closely follows
all developments in emissions legislation on behalf of DEUTZ, explains:
‘With respect to in-service conformity,
as a manufacturer we will be required
to carry out corresponding tests and
determine a so-called conformity factor
for each engine family. The results of the
in-service conformity tests will probably
be collated in a database and therefore
made transparent. However, a limiting
value for the conformity factor has not
yet been defined. If necessary, after the
introduction of the V emission standard,
the law will probably specify a binding
value that takes into account the data
collected.’
DEUTZ has been closely following and
provided advice on the road to introducing the V standard. The new requirement
to count the particles in particular does
not represent a problem for the company or its customers. The reason for this is
that the DEUTZ engines already include
– especially in the medium displacement
range – the relevant technology for this
in the form of enclosed particle filters.
One challenge at a later time – not only
for DEUTZ, but for all manufacturers –
will on the other hand be the in-service
conformity, since its specific form – as
already mentioned – remains to be seen.
The EU as a pioneer
Making engines with the latest technology ready for production is the task
at DEUTZ of the R&D Division headed
by Dr Ralf Marquard. Dr Markus Müller,
who within R&D manages the system
integration application and certification,
explains the importance of the forthcoming EU V standard: ‘With this
standard, Europe will adopt a pioneering role in the future. Among the
US authorities CARB and EPA, on
the other hand, there are currently no
visible steps towards the introduction
of a Tier 5.’ As soon as the EU V
standard has been put into force, this
will probably result in new momentum
in North America for the introduction of
a new Tier V emission standard in the
medium term. Of course the engine
manufacturers are always interested in
the greatest possible degree of harmonisation of the legislation in the various
regions in order to be able to offer the
market inexpensive technologies. It is of
course true that for Europe, the requirements which the engine manufacturers

in Arnhem (operated by Connexxion).
Compared to the GTW vehicles of Arriva
which were already in use, the vehicles
have been converted in various areas.
For example, these vehicles have a
modern environmentally-friendly drive
system, amongst other things. The new
trains have the environmentally-friendly
TCD 16.0 V8 DEUTZ engine which fulfils
the level 3B emissions standard.
Everything for the
passenger
In the last few years, numerous light
railcars have appeared on the market,
which have been further developed
to be customer and environmentallyfriendly. One of the most successful
vehicles is the articulated GTW railcar of
the firm Stadler Rail AG, whose headquarters are in Bussnang, Switzerland.
Stadler is a manufacturer of rail vehicles
which was founded in 1942 and whose
main focus is on regional rail car train
sets, trams and customised one-off productions. The first GTW, which had been
developed as a modular rail vehicle,
was produced in the 1990s. During the
course of the following years, the modular vehicle concept would prove to be
a guarantee of success, as it was possible to cover the various requirements
with respect to the track gauge, loading
gauge and transport capacity in an ideal
manner. Thanks to the modular design,
the GTW articulated railcar is available in
both an electric version with all standard
voltages and as a diesel-electric version.
A typical feature is the power module
located in the middle of the vehicle, in
which the entire drive system is housed.
The power module has a corridor for
the passengers. All systems and components are accessible from outside for
the performance of maintenance work.
This design requires virtually no investments for the workshop and makes it
possible to keep the service and maintenance times short. As there are no
heavy drive components housed in the
two end cars, these can be of a light-
The powerful TCD 16.0 V8 engine is a
water-cooled 8-cylinder engine which
produces 350 to 520 kW for the 3B / Tier
4 interim emission standard. Equipped
with a turbocharger and charge air
cooling and wet cylinder liners, the
TCD 16.0 produces a maximum torque
of 2890 Nm at a speed of 1400 rpm,
impressing with its optimum machine
performance. The modern electronic
common rail injection system with 2000
bar reduces the emission of pollutants in
combination with an SCR exhaust after
treatment system. Due to the compact
construction of the V engine, the customer makes considerable savings in
terms of the installation space, thereby
reducing the installation costs.
However, the DMU-GTW engines impress not only from the economic and
environmental aspects - they are means

Arriva PLC is a British subsidiary of the German railway company Deutsche Bahn
which has brought together its European regional services under the DB Arriva brand
name. Arriva operates as a bus and train service provider in 14 European countries.
Stadler Rail AG was founded in 1942 in Bussnang, Switzerland. The corporate group
employs almost 6000 people in over a dozen countries. In the standard gauge railway
field, Stadler Rail focuses on the market segments of regional and suburban railway
transport, as well as new Interregio and Intercity traffic. We successfully cover urban
transport with the two vehicle families of the Variobahn and Tango.
Railcars and articulated railcars are driven railway vehicles which also offer space
for passengers and freight. In contrast, locomotives which are used for the transport of
coupled wagons do not offer such separate space for transportation, with the exception
of locomotives with luggage compartments. As long ago as 1854, a steam trolley with
a passenger compartment was used on the Berlin-Hamburg Railway. This was the
first steam-powered railcar. Subsequently, railcars were first used for tram operations;
after the disappearance of the horse-drawn tram, they were used as the virtually exclusive means of transport, to which additional motor less cars were soon coupled. An
articulated railcar consists of several articulated box elements which are saddled in the
same way as the Stadler GTW. In 1997, the first Stadler GTW was put into operation in
the Swiss Canton of Berne.

In addition to the success factors of
product design, dynamism, commitment to research and development,
there is one more essential point which
is important for Lamborghini Trattori:
the powerful engines, such as the
DEUTZ Tier 4i with four cylinders, which
guarantee high performance with minimum consumption. The engines are the
guarantee of consistently high efficiency levels. With a displacement of 3620
cm³, common rail injection and turbocharger with charge air cooling, the
drives provide maximum performance.
Depending on the stress and load, the
fuel supply is controlled electronically
in order to optimise consumption. The
combination of EGR – exhaust gas recovery – and a DOC catalyst ensures
the drastic reduction in nitrogen oxides.

which is successful in every respect and
which combines a clear profile, strong

year which will continue to promote its
successful path.
Schäffer Maschinenfabrik from Erwitte is
one of the most important and successful suppliers of yard, wheel and tele wheel
loaders. The Schäffer loaders are world
leaders, especially for applications in the
fields of agriculture and biogas. The core
competence of the company includes articulated loaders of between 20 and 210
hp. Overall, Schäffer offers 80 models
and has so far sold 65,000 loaders. The
image of a robust, solid machine enjoyed
by the loaders is attributable not least to
their powerful engines. For a good 20
years, Schäffer has been using DEUTZ
engines for its engines of more than 100
hp, as well as HENKELHAUSEN as a
supplier and service partner.
‘What we appreciate about the DEUTZ
engines is their reliability and long service
life. For our agricultural clientele, their low
consumption and simple maintenance is
an important argument,’ explains Sales
Manager Richard Bremenkamp, adding:
‘In addition, DEUTZ engines are very well
prepared for certain options on the loader,
such as the air brake or air conditioning.’
Compact design with cleaner performance
HENKELHAUSEN attributes the significant consolidation of the business relationship to the Tier 4 final emissions
standard, which comes into force in
October 2014. With immediate effect,
Schäffer will be using a new DEUTZ
engine: the TCD 3.6 L4. From Tier 4

increase the throughput. A measure which will benefit customers
in the form of prompt delivery.
From a business point of view, this is
exceptionally good news: The demand
for DEUTZ engines is increasing. This
applies, amongst other things, to the two
newest engines in the range, the TCD
2.9 and TCD 3.6 series. However, when
demand increases within a short time,
this brings with it a challenge or two.
Specifically, the R&D and Production Divisions at DEUTZ are currently analysing
how to increase the engine throughput
in the test field in hall 40 at the parent
plant in the Cologne suburb of Porz.
This recently reached its capacity limit.
In other words: It was becoming increasingly difficult for DEUTZ to guarantee its

wear behaviour. This is carried out by
means of phases of the run at idling
speed which are very precisely defined
in terms of time, then at a nominal speed
which is 2600 rpm for the TCD 2.9 and
TCD 3.6, as well as a phase under a full
load at 1200 rpm. In the subsequent
second step, which takes three minutes,
the engine is warmed up at a constant
nominal speed. As a result, at the end
of the running in programme and beginning of the documentation cycle it
is in a hot condition. ‘In the area of the
nominal power point, i.e. in the last three
minutes of the running in programme,
we have seen potential to save time in
the cycle,’ explains Dr Jörg Thiemann,
Head of the Basic Engine Mechanics
in the R&D Division at DEUTZ. Another
employee in the R&D Division is his colleague Thomas Pickenhan, who was in
charge of preparing and implementing
this step. Other colleagues who were
involved were from the three specialist
development areas of thermodynamics,
series design and quality. The Production Department supported the Test
Field Manager Alfred Jaeger in the form
of Jürgen Schmidt, Christian Wilbert,
Helge Herbst and Patrick Kohlweg.
Quality assurance always to the fore
implementation of which will last until
2015. This provides for six steps, some
of which run simultaneously: optimising
the running in programme for the engines, partially equipping the test beds
with modern measuring equipment, ensuring the permanent supply of engines
to the test beds through the driverless
transport vehicles, set-optimisation
through re-timing, reduction of checks
and – the quintessence of the whole, so
to speak – improving the availability of
the system.
The opportunity to gain more time
and capacity
In the meantime the cross-divisional team has been very successful in
completing the ‘engine running in programme’ project. This started with the
analysis of the current situation. Up to
now, the project has been conducted
as follows: In accordance with a specified acceptance test instruction, every
DEUTZ engine is tested ‘hot’ in the test
field. The cycle for this takes five minutes. The test essentially consists of two
steps: In the first two minutes the engine is preconditioned to its subsequent
For their investigations into the possibility of shortening the running-in programme, the DEUTZ experts used three
types of engines from the TCD 2.9 and
TCD 3.6 ranges: Firstly, those which had
undergone the entire conventional test
program of five minutes. Secondly, an
engine which had been subjected to a
cycle shortened to two minutes in the
test field. And finally – as an extreme
test, so to speak – ‘green’ engines taken
directly from the assembly department
without any running in programme. With
each of them the employees carried out
oil consumption runs, then measured
the nominal power and performed a full
acceptance cycle. This procedure was
repeated twice in order to determine the
effects of the changed acceptance conditions. The conclusion: The shortening
of the running-in programme and restricting the documentation cycle to the
nominal power and low idle speed does
not result in any increase in oil consumption. The differences observed are within
the measurement tolerance range. Even
if the running-in process was completely
omitted, there was no discernible negative influence on the power output of
the engine. Although the oil consumption increased in this trial, it remained
below the permitted limit stated in the
electronic logbook for the engine configuration (ELTAB).
With the shortening of the overall cycle
from 5 to 2 minutes, which has been implemented in the meantime for the entire range of engines, DEUTZ has once
more followed its motto of: trusting in
the quality and consistency of one’s
own products is good, but control is
better. A 10/90 arrangement has therefore been introduced: 10% of the engines continued to be subjected to the
conventional acceptance cycle, as an
ongoing random sample so to speak. If
discrepancies are found, the employees
can react immediately.
Figures that speak for themselves
Alfred Jaeger, the Head of the DEUTZ
test field, is very satisfied with the project
and has the statistics at hand which
prove its success: ‘Up to now we have
had a capacity of 21 engines an hour on
our test beds. Simply by reducing the
running in period, we have been able to
increase this number to 25. If in the next
part of the project we modernise our
stock of driverless engine transporters,
which will probably take place in the
first quarter of 2015, we can achieve a
capacity of 31 engines an hour.’ If one
takes 240 working days a year as the
basis for three-shift operations, DEUTZ
has the possibility of reducing the acceptance time and thereby testing more
than 7200 additional engines per annum
in its test field. The expected value in
terms of resource savings is also impressive. Alfred Jaeger: On the basis of
70,000 tested engines every year, we
can expect to save around 50,000 L of
diesel.’ Above, however, the important
aspect is: The company saves in the
right area. Customers can continue to
rely on the tried and tested DEUTZ quality and on the fact that each individual
project is carefully tested, accepted and
documented. With the shortening of the
running-in cycle, DEUTZ has taken an
important step to continue supplying
its customers punctually in spite of the
increasing demand.

SAFETY & QUALITY
This topic should be well known to
DEUTZ INSIDE readers from Germany
in particular: Here in Germany there is a
‘Law for the priority of renewable energies’, EEG for short, which regulates the
preferred supply of electricity from renewable sources into the grids and guarantees its generators fixed remuneration.
As a matter of principle, this is not only
a good thing, but also urgently needed:
First of all, the use of nuclear energy no
longer enjoys the necessary consensus
amongst politicians and society as a
whole. Secondly, fossil fuels are in short
supply, not to mention the high levels of
emissions that occur when natural resources are ‘converted into electricity’.
From the ecological aspect, there is no
way around the use of renewable energy
sources. In economic terms, on the other
hand, the EEG has become the subject of a heated debate. Since so-called
green electricity is relatively expensive to
produce, it is subsidised through the EEG
levy which – as a matter of principle – has
to be paid by all electricity consumers,
i.e. households and businesses. For
companies which use large amounts of
electricity, such as foundries, the German
legislature provides for a high degree of
exemption from the EEG levy in order
not to place these businesses at a disadvantage in the international competition
and secure jobs in Germany. There are
regular very critical reports in the media
about the fact that various companies
are attempting to be classified as ‘large
electricity users’ irrespective of the industrial sector to which they belong and their
business segment. DEUTZ consciously
refuses to take advantage of this loophole
and instead applies the principle of ‘Made
in Germany’, as well as responsibility for
society, the environment and jobs, without
demanding that Germany as a business
location should only provide economic
benefits.
DEUTZ AG with certified energy management system according to ISO 50001
Energy management
monitoring
Anyone who produces economically is not only acting in their own interests, but also
in the interests of their customers. Resource shortages and increasing environmental
requirements have made electrical energy a cost driver, amongst others. DEUTZ is
counteracting this with its energy management system.
As the DEUTZ locations are not classified
as being energy-intensive, the company
has been affected in recent years by the
constant rises in the EEG levy, which
today represents a large share of the electricity price. The route to cost reduction
can therefore only be achieved by saving
energy. And DEUTZ ensures this not in
some random manner, but in a structured, institutionalised and documented
way with its energy management system
and
energy
(EnMS) according to ISO 50001:2011.
DEUTZ AG was first certified according to
this standard in November 2013 for its site
in the Deutz suburb of Cologne. In April
2014 the ISO certificate was extended to
cover all German locations. After gaining
positive experience over several months
with the energy management system, Ulrike Fitz, EnMS Officer at DEUTZ, sums up
as follows: ‘Before certification, a systematic analysis was carried out of our energy
generators, consumers and supply structures. The core question: Who consumes
what when and what for? Similarly, action
plans were drawn up together with the
in-house energy management teams that
have been formed in order to achieve our
energy goals. An example: Level of energy efficiency will play a major role in specifying which machines and equipment are
to be procured.’ A key factor is: Energy
management does not end with the issue
of the certificate. Instead, DEUTZ has developed an energy monitoring system for
the continuous collection and analysis of
consumption. This happened, for example, through the installation of additional
electricity and heat meters.
The route to an integrated management system
Today, DEUTZ has three different ISO certificates. Apart from the EnMS, these are
the certification according to ISO 9001
for quality management and ISO 14,001
for environmental management. In 2011
the certification dates for ISO 9001 and
14001 were merged in order to reduce
the resources required in the audited
areas. Until then, certification had been
carried out on different dates every year.
This placed a double burden on managers
and employees. The harmonisation of the
regulations, such as the manuals and procedural instructions, was also taken into
account in this merger. When ISO 50001
for the EnMS was added in 2013, the idea
of an integrated management system
(IMS) received an additional boost. DEUTZ
bundles all of its certification requirements
under its roof. This means: There is one
standard, one common manual, one date
for certification and one certification company. The advantages are self-evident:
even the costs of certification itself can be
reduced with the help of the IMS, not to
mention the efficiency gains that arise as a
consequence. With the joint development
of an integrated management system, the
Corporate Quality Department under the
management of Bernd Kodinger and the
NEW: THE GREEN BUILDING MONITOR
Saving energy within the company – everybody’s business. And all employees
can contribute to this. In order to further increase our colleagues’ awareness
of this topic, the EnMS team at DEUTZ
has started the ‘Green Building Monitor’
(GBM) project. This computer-aided information system makes it possible to
communicate the latest energy data
and other information from the DEUTZ
energy monitoring system, which also
corresponds to a technical standard
requirement of ISO 50001. Implementation is as follows: In the future, employees can use the flat screen of the
GBM in the entrance area of the canteen
at the DEUTZ parent plant in Cologne in
the suburb of Porz to learn about the
latest energy consumption levels of the
company, amongst other things, as well
as receiving tips on how to save energy
in the workplace and learn about measures from the EnMS that have already
been implemented. This makes the
following clear: Energy saving at DEUTZ
works – and is worth while!
Facility Management Department under
Michael Biendara have initiated a process
in which further steps are pending: After
the existing certifications, OHSAS 18001
is to follow for safety at work.

Matthias Kesting works in the development test centre at DEUTZ
AG. Here he is also training as a
technician in electrical engineering, data processing and process
automation.
The main focus of his department is the
test bed service. Amongst other things,
fuel flow meters, or PLU for short, are
calibrated here at certain intervals. PLUs
are used on all development test beds in
order to measure continuous flow rates
of the diesel engines. Here it is important to obtain highly accurate data on
fuel consumption of an engine, as this
is a crucial aspect for the successful
development of a DEUTZ engine!
Matthias Kesting in the development test centre
Every drop counts
Development of an automatic PLU calibration system
In order to counteract unplanned downtimes, quality reductions and product
recalls as a result of inaccurate fuel consumption data, it is important to carry
out regular calibrations of the fuel flow
meters (PLUs) to sustainably ensure
better quality and customer satisfaction.
Many factors, for example the length
of use, the ambient conditions and
the load placed on the PLUs, result in
inaccuracies in the measurements over
the course of time. In order to carry out
more flexible and cost efficient calibrations, the company decided at an early
stage to develop its own calibration facility in the area of test field services for
the development of PLUs. As part of the
procurement process for new fuel flow
meters with an increased flow rate and
the time-consuming manual operation,
it was necessary to expand the existing
calibration unit. As the conversion of
the 15-year-old plant would have been
almost as expensive as the construction
of a new system, it was decided to purchase a new PLU calibration facility.
Brief summary of the operating principle:
The new PLU calibration facility is
housed in an enclosed system in order
to selectively extract fuel vapours and
heat by suction. In this system, both
manual and fully automatic operation are
possible. Programming was carried out
with a scientific graphical development
environment for measurement and control tasks. Through the use of this latest
technology and an optimised program
structure, it is possible to obtain even
more accurate measurement results. To
obtain highly consistent temperatures
with a deviation of 0°C during the measurement process, a temperature bath is
used which is connected to a fin cooler.
The constant temperature is
important,
as
the
density depends on
the temperature of
the fuel.
In contrast
to the density of water, the density of
fuel is much more temperature-dependent. Through a small centrifugal pump
the fuel is passed through the system.
A density meter continuously measures
the current density of the fuel. The fuel
quantities to be pumped are regulated
by two proportional valves that work together with the pump. In order to keep
the fuel temperature constant also before the inlet to the PLU, a double-walled
pipe has been developed. This is first
flowed through the external circuit of the
cooled fuel in order to keep the temperature of the fuel flowing to the PLU constant, which is significantly influenced
by proportional valves and the ambient
temperature. Via a lever arm specifically
developed for this task, which is connected to a solenoid, the medium is
dripped at the start of the measurement
into a vessel located on a high-precision
laboratory balance. The volume that is
now collected in the vessel is now calculated with the pulses added together
during the measurement. Furthermore,
the fuel temperature and density are
included in the calculation. The measurement results are automatically stored
in a program specifically developed for
this purpose.
During the calibration,
the
actual measured value is
then compared
with a predetermined reference value and
the result used
to adapt or
adjust the fuel
flow meter. The

MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE OF THE PLU
The measuring device (PLU) works
according to the measurement and operating principle of a servo-controlled
displacement meter. With the help of an
optical scanning system,
the
movement
and
position
of
a piston are
determined.
The
signal
from
the
light sensor
is converted
into a voltage, which in conjunction with the electronics regulates the speed of the servo
drive. At the same time, the speed of the
flow meter is regulated according to the
position of the piston in such a way that
the integral flow proportionately follows
the speed of the flow meter. The speed
is detected by the encoder and serves as
a signal for the flow rate.
devices calibrated in this way return to
the development test bed and ensure
the high quality of the fuel measurements.
Through the automatic PLU calibration
system it has been possible to significantly increase the calibration accuracy
thanks to improved measurement technology and a higher level of independence of the human factor. This is a
further contribution of the test centre to
increasing the quality and efficiency of
engine development at DEUTZ AG.

Winfried Langner from the Lower Saxony town of Lauenförde has become famous as ‘DEUTZ Willi’. Numerous
television stations have reported on the pensioner, tinkerer and jet setter. He has already been on the Günther
Jauch show. DEUTZ INSIDE visited him at home to share his enthusiasm for travel.
‘This is how you do it!’
Inside it looks like a local history museum. Display cases, cabinets, shelves
are overflowing with model vehicles
and miniature figures. Each object is
carefully and tidily positioned in its own
place. A precisely timed view of a life full
of adventure. But the show does not
take place inside the manor-like farm-
stead. A lot of noise and diesel fumes
make us go outside. And here they
are, the old man and Robert. Winfried
Langner lovingly strokes the curves of
the DEUTZ D15 tractor called Robert,
closely inspecting the vehicle with the
attractive design in detail. Everything
simply has to be in the right place and
work, as Langner and Robert are often
out and about. Langer, who is almost
80 years old, has already been to the
Grossglockner, France, Spain and – in
2014 – in Bavaria with his over 50-yearold tractor. For 2015 a tour to the North
Cape is planned.
ABOUT THE DEUTZ D15
‘The fully-fledged
single tractor for
smaller agricultural businesses.
A simple and robust design, outstanding quality,
maximum cost
effectiveness due
to the tried and
tested
DEUTZ
four-stroke diesel
engine,’ is how
the D15 was advertised in the brochures more than 50 years ago. The last single-cylinder tractor
which DEUTZ build was the D15 with 14 hp. It was built from 1959 to 1964 and
had a ZF transmission with 6 forward gears and 2 reverse gears.
Engine type: F1 L 712
Cooling: Air
Cylinders: 1
Displacement: 850 cm³
Power: 14 hp at 2400 rpm
Borehole: 95 mm
Stroke: 120 mm
Own weight: 920 kg
‘It’s quite simple: passion and love’
How did all of this come about? Where
does a pensioner from the quiet town of
Lauenförde in the District of Holzminden
in the South of Lower Saxony get the
idea of travelling these long distances on
a veteran agricultural machine?
‘It’s quite simple: passion and love’,
explains Langner in conversation with
DEUTZ INSIDE. ‘As a construction machine mechanic I was always travelling,
and have been everywhere. That was
my mission in life. Whether excavators or
trucks, I have serviced, maintained and
repaired everything. As a pensioner I carried on and bought myself the old tractor.
That was a hard job!’, explains Langner.
In 2006 the job was done: the machine
was ready to use and Winfried Langner
was christened ‘DEUTZ Willi’.
His wife Annemarie Langner also enjoyed
travelling, especially to the south, to their
favourite island of Mallorca. In 2012 she
died after falling ill two years previously.
Annemarie and Winfried were married
for over 50 years. After his beloved wife
had died, he decided to visit her favourite place. Together with the tractor fan
Erwin Stahlmann from Hildesheim, he
set off on his journey. Several camera
crews and even more spectators were
there to see the two men off. The MDR
television company considered the trip
to be worthy of a report. The Spiegel
Magazine was informed by Langner that
‘grandma was flying along up there as
well’. A woman who is camping asks him
about the journey: ‘Now you are doing
this for your wife’s sake.’ Langner cries
and replies: ‘yes’.
At first Spain, then Bavaria and in
2015 the North Cape.
In spite of an injury in Spain, he completed the journey with the help of his daughter Sabine. When at home, he needed
some time to recover. Fortunately, he has
his children and numerous grandchildren
around him, explains Langner.
In 2014 the longest trip took him to Bavaria, ‘only’ slightly more than 1200 km
there and back. Next year it will be a lot
more kilometres, as Langner wants to
travel to the far north: to the North Cape.
‘This is my life, I have to do it. Together
with my machine.’ Langner is very proud
of his ‘Robert’. ‘This is something special! He does not need any anti freeze, he
is air-cooled and there for me in both the
summer and winter. The machine is simply
always there!’ Enthusiastically he explains
the advantages of the D15, above all the
modular system impresses him and then
he enthuses in the most beautiful German
Platt ‘If something breaks down, it is no
problem to replace it. This is how you do it!’

IN BRIEF
Did you know that...
… there is still one Bugatti automobile which was manufactured at
DEUTZ in Cologne?
DEUTZ – or more precisely the Gasmotoren-Fabrik Deutz – was also once a car manufacturer, even though compared to the 150 years of the company’s history this was
only a short episode. Around 60 vehicles were built between 1907 and 1912 before
the business segment was abandoned because it was not profitable. Only one of these
automobile survived, albeit just about: It suddenly appeared some time in a Belgian
junkyard but escaped its planned fate, was restored and is now ready to drive in the
hands of the United States private citizen.
The background: When DEUTZ planned to enter the field of automotive construction,
this industry was almost still in its infancy. It was planned to convert the Berlin branch
factory to the new production field. The chassis were supposed to be constructed
there, while the engines were to be supplied from Cologne. The highly talented young
Milanese Ettore Bugatti was brought to the cathedral city on the River Rhine in 1907
as a designer and manager. And he soon made a name for himself: For DEUTZ he
developed a four-cylinder four-stroke engine with an overhead camshaft driven by an
upright shaft and overhead valves. This meant that the Cologne engine builders were
well ahead of their time and the construction of the first automobiles under the direction
of Ettore Bugatti started off as very promising.
However, then the eccentric engineer left the company in 1909 after disagreements
with the management. Bugatti then went to Molsheim in Elsass where he set himself up
as a manufacturer of racing, sports and luxury cars. He then simply adapted the oval
badge of the DEUTZ automobiles for his own firm by replacing the word ‘DEUTZ’ with
‘BUGATTI’ and adding his initials ‘EB’.

Special exhibition at the
Cologne Odysseum on the
occasion of the 150th anniversary of DEUTZ in July 2014
In 1867 Nicolaus August Otto presented a
new engine design at the World Exhibition
in Paris: the atmospheric gas-powered
engine. Due to the sensationally low operating costs, the machine was awarded
a gold medal and the atmospheric gaspowered engine became the first internal
combustion engine of the world that was
sold in significant quantities. A turning
moment which would bring about a major
change to social and economic life.
Each machine is only as good as its engine. Therefore, leading machine manufacturers
have chosen the latest cutting-edge technology from DEUTZ, be it in mobile machines,
agricultural equipment, ships propulsion or commercial vehicles applications.

mobile machines worldwide per year and one out of two pieces of airport equipment are
installed with DEUTZ engines and one out of three hectares of farm land in Germany is
cultivated with DEUTZ powered machines.
