China's Non-Road Stage IV Emission Standard is expected to be implemented starting December 1, 2020, targeting all non-road mobile machinery. To prepare for this new standard, Perkins has intensified collaboration activities with its OEM customers.

　　The newly introduced Non-Road Stage IV Emission Standard is the first to impose aftertreatment requirements on engines installed in non-road mobile machinery used in China.

　　"For OEMs in China, the new emission standard is undoubtedly a significant change, but with proper planning and cooperation with experienced engine companies like Perkins, OEMs should be able to transition smoothly," said Tommy Quan, Perkins Asia Sales and Distribution Director.

　　Perkins has a history of over 87 years. The company has successfully launched products meeting various emission standards such as those in the EU and the US, and is prepared for China's Non-Road Stage IV Emission Standard. Moreover, Perkins showcased five engines at the 2018 Bauma China International Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines, Engineering Vehicles and Equipment Expo, all specially designed to meet the new standard.

　　To comply with China's Non-Road Stage IV standard, manufacturers will adopt different aftertreatment emission control technologies based on different power ranges. In this demanding market, there is no "perfect solution" that fits all. For example, technology suitable for 50kW may differ from that for 150kW, which again differs from that for 250kW. Perkins will apply different technologies across the range for various engine applications, including electronic control, common rail fuel systems, advanced turbocharging, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

　　"One very important point is not to think this is simply about adding aftertreatment technology to existing China Non-Road Stage III engines," Tommy said. "To ensure OEMs have efficient, durable, and fuel-economical machines, multiple different technologies need to be designed and integrated to provide appropriate solutions."

　　Perkins has extensive experience in producing and delivering low-emission engines and compact aftertreatment technologies, accumulating approximately 1.3 billion hours of non-road application practice using Euro IV and US EPA Tier 4 Final DPF technologies.

　　Perkins will offer customers a variety of engines meeting China's Non-Road Stage IV Emission Standard, with displacements ranging from 0.7 to 18 liters and maximum power output up to 470 kW. Besides meeting emission standards, the new engine series provides significant performance advantages for OEMs, including higher power density and torque, enabling more power in a compact installation size, and flexible installation of aftertreatment components on or near the engine.

　　"We have great confidence in the performance and durability of our China Non-Road Stage IV emission standard engines, which will also strive to improve OEM equipment productivity through patented aftertreatment technology and DPF passive regeneration technology," Tommy said.

　　Globally, emission standards are becoming increasingly complex. OEMs want to sell machines in multiple regions to maintain business stability and growth, but designing different models for each region undoubtedly affects business sustainability. For OEMs aiming to grow both domestic and export businesses, an important consideration is that all Perkins engines from 0.7 to 18 liters meeting China's Non-Road Stage IV Emission Standard are designed as modular products. Therefore, engines with different emission standards and fuel technology specifications can use the same installation method, and importantly, engine performance and machine integration remain consistent, allowing OEMs to use a single model design to meet all emission requirements, saving money and engineering time.

　　"For 87 years, we have been manufacturing engines for construction, agriculture, and industrial machines, with a total exceeding 21 million units," said Jaz Gill, Perkins Vice President of Global Sales, Marketing, Service, and Parts. "We are true non-road application experts who understand how real machines operate under harsh conditions. All our technologies are carefully designed and proven to withstand the high temperatures, high vibrations, and heavy loads often encountered on construction sites or in the field."

　　He continued, "Additionally, we have worked closely with Chinese OEMs for nearly 15 years, and they continue to demand high-quality products from us. This will not change during the implementation phase of China's Non-Road Stage IV Emission Standard to ensure they have reliable models. OEMs need to choose an engine supplier responsible for designing, manufacturing, and servicing engines to meet high-quality standards.

　　"We know we have an experienced team to manufacture and integrate these optimized engines. These engines use mature technology and compact aftertreatment devices. Moreover, Foshan Sendamei Weijia Power Equipment Co., Ltd. covers 18 provinces/economic zones in China and will surely provide service and ongoing support for this latest generation of engines."
