Deutz and Same Deutz-Fahr move closer

Deutz AG and the Same Deutz-Fahr group have agreed to expand their collaboration in the market for agricultural machinery engines of under four litres.

In 2013, Deutz will start to supply its new TCD 2.9 L4 and TCD 3.6 L4 engines – which are designed for agricultural applications – to Same Deutz-Fahr which manufactures agricultural equipment and markets a range of telescopic handlers built for it by JLG Europe.

The new agreement will see the number of engines supplied to the group grow to over 14,000 by 2014. JLG already fits Deutz engines to its compact telehandlers and most of the models that are suitable for agricultural applications, while using Perkins for its larger more construction orientated models.
