Business Wire
AGCO, Your Agriculture Company (NYSE: AGCO), a worldwide
manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment, today
announced its Tier 4 Final/Stage IV engine emissions strategy for
its AGCO POWER diesel engines. The updated after-treatment system
will continue to offer an effective method for farmers to reduce
emissions without compromising power, efficiency or fuel
economy.
Martin Richenhagen, Chairman, President and CEO of AGCO said,
“Our objective was to develop emissions technologies that delivered
a consistent solution for cleaner air while producing efficient
options for farmers through to Final Tier 4 US and Stage IV EU.
This was our focus when we introduced our e3 Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) technology in 2009 and continues to be our focus as
we move to the next generation of emission reduction.”
AGCO will continue to use its proven e3 SCR technology in its
AGCO POWER engines to address the needs of Tier 4 Final/Stage IV
engine requirements. In select specific models, a small amount of
cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (cEGR) will also be added in order
to ensure emissions compliance while minimizing fluid consumption
and improving power balance. AGCO has established leadership and
experience with both SCR and cEGR from launching both technologies
on tractors in Tier 3/Stage IIIa.
“AGCO knows this technology well. We were the first to launch
SCR technology in the off-road market in North America and have
many years of working experience with both emission reduction
technologies,” commented Matt Rushing, Director of Product
Management, Global Electronics and Global Engines at AGCO. AGCO has
led the industry in the continued development and improvement of
SCR technology and has worked with industry partners to establish
the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) and AdBlue® infrastructure to
support SCR technology use.
AGCO has kept the customers’ needs paramount since launching its
e3 SCR technology in 2009. “We wanted to develop a solution that
would bring farmer input costs down, allow us to increase power
levels and lower fluid consumption - all while offering reliable
emissions reduction technology,” added Mr. Rushing.
Customers can expect that there will not be any changes to the
way that they operate and maintain their future Tier 4 Final/Stage
IV AGCO equipment. AGCO POWER engines will operate efficiently
delivering total fluid economy (diesel fuel and DEF) that will meet
or exceed the same fluid consumption levels as in AGCO’s Tier
4i/Stage IIIb machines.
Mr. Richenhagen stated, “We are confident that this is the best
solution for both our customers and the environment. At AGCO, we
are proud to deliver compliance without compromise. Our e3 solution
delivers exactly what modern agriculture demands — cleaner
emissions, improved economics and reliable performance.”
