Engine manufacturer Perkins unveiled its new 854-E34TA engine at Bauma. The Stage IV/Tier 4 final unit is designed to meet standards above 56 kW (75 hp). It will go into production next year.

The 4-cylinder, 3.4 liter engine uses selective catalytic reduction technology packaged separately from the diesel oxidation catalyst module which makes the engine compact and absent of a diesel particulate filter. It can be mounted horizontally or vertical which allows OEMs installation flexibility, said Allister Dennis, marketing manager for Perkins Engines.

鈥淧erformance from the 854F-E34TA has been boosted to 90 kW (121 hp) with a maximum torque of 460 Nm thanks to its single stage turbo with smart wastegate,鈥� Dennis said. 鈥淩ated speed is between 2200 and 2500 rpm.鈥�

The engine has also decreased fuel consumption by 8% despite the increase in performance.

Heat rejection remains similar to its predecessor. The launch of the 854F-E34TA at Bauma 2013 completes Perkin鈥檚 Stage IV/Tier 4 final engine range, which also includes the Perkins 400 and 1200 Series.
