EU (Stage IIIB) And EPA (Tier 4 interim) Approve Exhaust Emission for AGCO SISU POWER Engines

Business Wire
AGCO, Your Agriculture Company (NYSE: AGCO), a worldwide
manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment, today
announced that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 4
interim approval was granted on the 14th December 2010 for AGCO
SISU POWER engines over 130 kW. The corresponding European Union
(EU) Stage IIIB approval was granted already earlier this fall.
This approval is one of the first the US EPA has granted for
non-road engines utilizing SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
technology. “The Stage IIIB and Tier 4 interim requirements will be
applied in production for ratings above 130 kW starting January
1st, 2011. Engine production has already started at the AGCO SISU
POWER factory in Nokia Finland for non-road engine customers in
Europe and the U.S.,” explained Martin Richenhagen, AGCO Chairman,
President and CEO.
The six cylinder AGCO SISU POWER 8.4
litre non-road engine is shown including the exhaust system with e3
SCR components. It is rated at 375 hp and is used in new Massey
Ferguson, Fendt and Challenger combine harvesters and Massey
Ferguson and Valtra tractors. The over all vehicle fluid
consumption in practical harvesting work is the lowest in class.

AGCO SISU POWER engines with e3 SCR technology offer industry
leading fuel economy for non-road applications. e3 SCR technology
allows the combustion process to be optimized for temperature and
Air/Fuel ratio settings. The nitrous oxides (NOx), which form at
high combustion temperatures, are reduced to harmless water in the
vehicle exhaust utilizing the maintenance-free e3 SCR technology
components and process. Depending on application and load, the
consumption of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or AdBlue (an aqueous
urea solution) will be between 2 - 6 percent of the vehicles fuel
consumption thus improving the fluid efficiency of the machine and
reducing customers input costs.
SCR technology, similar to the e3 SCR technology which AGCO SISU
POWER non-road engines utilize to reduce NOx in the vehicles
exhaust emissions, has been used in Europe for more than five years
in on road applications. The combustion efficiency in the cylinder
can be optimized without the use of EGR (Exhaust Gas
Recirculation), DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or VGT (Variable
Geometry Turbocharger) technology and without an increase in the
vehicles cooling requirement. Fuel economy improvements of up to
10% have been observed by using AGCO SISU POWER engines with e3 SCR
technology. Users of cooled EGR, DPF systems with larger cooling
components suffer from reduced performance in fuel consumption and
cooling efficiency. The competitive advantage of AGCO SISU POWER
non-road engines is improved fluid economy and reliability and
durability of the e3 system, all while reducing exhaust emissions
for a cleaner environment.
