John Deere and Deutz have announced plans to jointly develop and source components for a low horsepower range engine up to 130kW. According to a press release, the companies will be able to close a gap in the market by developing an engine that provides customers additional value upon initial purchase.
The co-development and co-sourcing scope includes engine hardware and design, from which each company will customize its product to meet customers’ specific needs through engine software and controls. Engine manufacturing and distribution will be done independently by John Deere and Deutz.
