Deutz and Volvo to build on current partnership

201 Deutz and 2394 Volvo Group are to continue their joint engine technology partnership, with a view to developing new low emission, fuel efficient engines. This new deal carries on from an agreement signed in 1998 for the development and supply of 4-7litre diesels. The agreement was concluded with a term of 15 years and is due to end in 2013, so the new supply agreement will come into effect from 1st January 2014. Among other aspects, it sets out the further development of Deutz medium duty engines for the European Stage IV and US Tier 4 Final exhaust emissions standards. Under the agreement, Deutz will remain the sole supplier of 4-8litre engines for Volvo construction equipment.
