conventional bonnet design, they offer
very good off-road performance and are
low in height. To allow easy maintenance,
the engine is accessible without having
to tip the driver's cab. The Zetros has
a long-bonnet design and is available
exclusively with permanent all-wheel drive.
Its standard wading depth is 800 mm,
while 1,190 mm is optionally possible. The
Zetros features an OM 926 LA six-cylinder
diesel engine with a cubic capacity of 7.2
l and a power output of 240 kW. Engines
with Euro3 and Euro5 emissions values are
available. The drivetrain has permanent
all-wheel drive as well as a transfer case
with an off-road gear ratio of 1:1.69. The
Zetros comes as standard with a nine-
speed manual gearbox. However, it is also
available with a fully automatic gearbox
from Allison.
Construction machines, vehicles and
equipment as well as mining machines are
the principal applications for engines from
Deutz AG. The manufacturer will unveil its
newly developed TCD 2.2 diesel and gas
engine as well as the established TCD 2.9 in
a gas version. With up to 55 kW, the TCD 2.2
is a further option for materials handling
and compact construction machine
applications in particular. Unusually, the
engine will be launched in both a diesel and
a liquid gas (LPG or fuel gas) version. The
gas version will produce 42 kW and is an
innovation within Deutz's otherwise diesel-
driven product range. The TCD 2.2 will go
into production in 2019 to coincide with
the EU Stage V emissions norm coming
into force. All TCD 2.2 and 2.9 models use
the same engine platform. This means
numerous synergy effects for customers
when it comes to integration, for example
