NEW DELHI – Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. Tuesday said it has entered a strategic co-operation agreement with Germany-based DEUTZ to co-develop and distribute a 1.6-litre compact engine platform. The collaboration aims to expand the global reach of Kirloskar's compact engine solutions into markets across Europe and North America, the company said in a press release.
The Pune-based company will supply the naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions of the R550 platform. "The water-cooled three-cylinder series with electronic direct injection and a high-pressure common-rail system covers a power range from 18 to 41.2 kW (kilowatt)", the company said. The engine complies with stringent global emission requirements, including European Union Stage V standards, as well as the United States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board Tier 4 standards.
"With the 1.6-litre engine, we are adding a compact and high-performance solution to our portfolio in the lower power segment," Markus Villinger, chief executive officer of business unit DEUTZ Engines said. "Together with Kirloskar Oil Engines, we are responding to market demand for reliable solutions below 2 litres."
For the June quarter, Kirloskar Oil reported a consolidated net profit of INR 1.14 billion on revenues of INR 20 billion. Wednesday, its shares ended at INR 2,160.90 apiece on the National Stock Exchange, up 1% from Tuesday. End
