Industry NewsPre-Intermat: Volvo Penta To Show Tier 4 Final Engine LineJanuary 12, 2012 Volvo Penta used SCR technology to meet the Tier 4 Interim/Stage 3b emission standards. When the considerably tougher Tier 4 Final/Stage 4 standards come to pass in 2014, the same technology will be used, the company said adding that those engines will be on display at the Intermat show in Paris April 16-20. Some companies are announcing their Intermat plans at a special event this week in Paris. The reason for this decision, Volvo Penta said, is to keep it simple for the OEMs, meaning no regeneration, limited installation challenges, continuous optimized fuel consumption and low operating costs. The new, Tier 4 Final/Stage 4 Volvo Penta engines for off-road applications will be ready for delivery to OEMs in 2014. The range consists of five, newly developed basic engines, with two being completely new designs, all manufactured by Volvo, for Volvo. One particular detail is the common design concept, meaning that the different parts of the engines are identically located on the engine body. This component commonality is valuable in many aspects, particularly for OEMs who include several engine sizes in their product applications. The new engine designs are based on today’s SCR engines, Volvo Penta said. Thanks to the construction of the SCR system, Volvo Penta said it has been possible to meet the Tier 4 Final/Stage 4 emission standards with a limited number of technical changes. The following five Volvo Penta diesel engines will be ready for the OEM’s drawing-boards in 2012 and ready for delivery in 2014. • The 5 liter model AD57XVE, a four-cylinder, 105-160 kW engine with a max torque of 900 Nm. • The 8 liter model TAD87XVE, a six-cylinder, 160-235 kW engine with a max torque of 1300 Nm. • At 11 liters, the TAD117XVE, a six-cylinder, 235-295 kW engine with a max torque of 1950 Nm. • The 13 liter TAD137XVE, a six-cylinder, 295-405 kW engine with a max torque of 2650 Nm. • The largest in Volvo Penta’s Tier 4 Final off-highway line, the 16 liter TAD167XVE model, a six-cylinder, 405-500 kW engine with a max torque of 3200 Nm. Volvo Penta said all engine data is preliminary.
