DEUTZINSIDE 2 I 2014
Dear readers,
In this year DEUTZ is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Today
we can hardly imagine life today without the development of the
combustion engine. How significantly this invention has shaped
our lives, also became clear within the context of our anniversary ceremony, hosted in the Koelnmesse in May. 150 years of
DEUTZ stand for efficient, sustainable engine technology and
for the development of the four-stroke engine, which got motorisation in motion across the world. This special anniversary was
celebrated with DEUTZ customers, partners and suppliers, but also with high-ranking
politicians and business representatives, including the Prime Minister of North RhineWestphalia, Hannelore Kraft, and the Lord Mayor of Cologne, Jrgen Roters, who was
impressed by the eventful history of the company in his city (report and images as of p. 6).
We are particularly happy that, in addition to the fact that DEUTZ could build on the previous year's good development in the first quarter of 2014, this positive business development has continued within the course of the year. When compared with the previous
year, sales and turnover have increased significantly, and the operative result, before
taking account of one-time items, was virtually doubled. Regardless, with 746.8 million
euros, the incoming orders remained behind the record high of the previous year (H1
2013: 843.5 million euros). Following numerous quarters with particularly high incoming
orders, this has declined in the second quarter and amounted to 332.6 million euros, after
414.2 million euros in the previous quarter. In the period under review, sales increased
to 99.079 engines and thus, in comparison to the same period in the previous year, increased by 15.3 per cent (H1 2013: 85.907 engines). Especially in the second quarter of
2014, a considerable increase was noted: With 54,622 sold engines, the same quarter
of the previous year could be surpassed by 10.0 per cent and the previous quarter by
22.9 per cent. When compared with the previous year, turnover also increased by 13.8
per cent in the first six months of the current fiscal year, to 753.4 million euros (H1 2013:
662.1 million euros). In the process, revenues in all regions EMEA (Europe, Middle East
and Africa), America and Asia/Pacific could be extended.
These are the innovations that have always propelled DEUTZ. Recognising long-term
developments and reacting to them in an innovative manner is what characterises strong
companies. In this issue, we will be taking a closer look at these Megatrends, a phrase
that was first coined in 1982. It serves to describe changes in the economy and in society
such as, e.g. urbanisation. A growing population is to be provided with food, urbanisation
proceeds apace and global trade is increasing. These trends will not come to an end for
a very long time. They affect Europe in the same way as all regions of the world and all
those who produce engines and work with them. (as of p. 10).
With regard to sustainability, efficiency and design, the Lamborghini Trattori are sending
out strong signals (p. 20). The tractors with DEUTZ motorisation are perfection in shape
on four wheels, and they have won numerous awards. That DEUTZ encourages exceptional performance can be seen in an emotional contribution on p. 32. With his 80 years
of age, Winfried Langner, who goes on extended tours through Europe in memory of his
late wife, has in the meantime become a true celebrity. He was accompanied by many
journalists on the DEUTZ vintage car D15 and has touched the hearts of plenty of people.
DEUTZ INSIDE visited him at his home in Lower Saxonian Lauenfrde, to find out more
about his experiences.
Be inspired by these and other stories. I wish you lots of fun with it.
Kind regards
Ihre

DEUTZ AG announced
at the end of July that
it would be leaving the
replacement
engine
production location in
bersee am Chiemsee.
Three months earlier,
the company had announced it was examining the possibility of
relocating the DEUTZ
Xchange works to Ulm.
After a thorough and comprehensive analysis, the management board at DEUTZ AG
has now decided to close the replacement engine production works in bersee and
integrate the replacement engine production into the plant in Ulm. By concentrating
production at one site, it is possible to increase productivity and reduce the burden of
fixed costs. The synergies here result essentially from the use of the infrastructure of the
Ulm plant, as well as synergies in the overhead fields.
The decision to integrate our factory in bersee into the plant in Ulm was not an easy
one for us to take. But with the concentration of replacement engines in Ulm we are
creating the basis for our growth strategy in the Xchange and service area. For this
reason this is the right decision for the company from the strategic prospective, explains DEUTZ CEO Dr Helmet Leube.
157 employees are affected by the closure of the site. The DEUTZ management board
and works council will be drawing up a reconciliation of interests and social compensation plan for the affected employees.
It is our objective to acquire as many employees as possible for a job in Ulm. For
this we are going to develop working time models which are tailored to the situation
together with the works council and offer financial compensation for second homes and
travel expenses, for example, says Dr Margarete Haase, Director of Finance, Human
Resources and Investor Relations.

to imagine our lives today without them,
DEUTZ CEO Dr Helmut Leube pointed
out in his welcoming speech. Only with
a pioneering spirit, passion and innovation was it possible for the company to
further improve the internal combustion
engine a little every day since its invention. This is our objective, which we
will also pursue in the future and should
also be the engine of our success in our
anniversary year, emphasised Leube,
officially opening the celebrations for the
150th anniversary of the company.
The Cologne company received special
praise from the North Rhine-Westphalian Minister-President Hannelore Kraft.
She congratulated DEUTZ on the 150th
anniversary of the company, underlining
the fact that it was a fine advertisement
for mechanical engineering.

EUROPE,
the mega trendsetter
How to deal with long-term developments
in Europe and the world
A growing population has to be supplied with food, urbanisation continues to expand, world trade is growing and natural resources have to be strictly protected. These trends
are well known and they will not come to an end for a very
long time. But most of all: they affect Europe in the same
way as all regions of the world and all those who produce
engines and work with them.
TITLE
Not without reason DEUTZ is convinced
that diesel engines will still be in demand
in the future. Irrespective of short-term
economic fluctuations or crises such as
that occurred in 2008, which hit the technology sector in Europe and worldwide
very hard, there are also so-called megatrends which over the long term ensure
growing demand for fuel-efficient, performance-optimised and low-emission
engines. Improvements in efficiency in
agriculture which are the precondition
for being able to supply a constantly
growing world population, can only be
achieved with corresponding machines.
Growing population figures are also
a major driver of the mega trend of
urbanisation: more
and more people
live in towns and
cities, need housing,
infrastructure
and
transport
routes.
One key function in
globalisation and the
associated growth
in streams of goods
and transport is
played by the logistics field. Without
trucks, trains, ships
and
aeroplanes,
logistics is unthinkable. And because
more of everything is being consumed,
but the resources are finite, the subject
of the environment is becoming increasingly important.
Europe in a global context
It has already been touched on: megatrends are a global issue. However, the
old Europe, from where the industrialisation of the entire world once started,
has a key role to play and one that
displays several dimensions: On the one
hand, Europe will still be the driver of
such trends in the future. For example,
the awareness that the finite natural resources have to be sustainably managed arrived in the minds of the people
of the densely populated continent
earlier than elsewhere. It is therefore
no coincidence that the EU emission
standards have always been some of
the strictest in the world (for an article
on this, see page 14). On the other
hand, trends such as population growth
or urbanisation have now been mainly
transferred to the emerging countries
and developing regions. Seven of the

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
The term megatrend is used to refer to changes in the economy and
society which are expected to last a long time and which either occur
and progress globally or within a geographically limited area. One of the
best-known examples: Urbanisation, the tendency that more and more
sections of the population either move to the town or city and/or that
areas which up to now have been rural take on urban structures. The
term megatrends was coined by the American futurologist John Naisbitt
in his book published in 1982 Megatrends 10 new directions transforming our lives.

process
The EU emissions legislation continues to progress
standard, this began specifically in January 2013 with a so-called Public Stakeholder Consultation. This means nothing
more than the fact that the EU Commission has published a paper in which the
ideas relating to the Law Amendment are
sketched out and with which the stakeholders for example environmental organisations, producer associations such
as EUROMOT and representatives of
the EU Member States were invited to
submit their comments and input. With
respect to the V standard, the Commission received almost 70 written replies.
On the basis of this Public Stakeholder
Consultation process, the draft law was
created, which will probably be adopted
by the Commission in the autumn of
2014 and submitted to the European
Parliament. Theoretically, the process
envisaged for the work of the Parliament is comparatively complex, with
up to three readings in the European
Parliament and the European Council,
as well as the possible convening of a
Conciliation Committee. However, from
the perspective of the manufacturers,
the adoption of the new Directive on
the EU V standard for mobile machines
would be desirable after the first reading
in order to have planning certainty at an
early stage and be able to set binding
development targets.
The EU as a pioneer
Making engines with the latest technology ready for production is the task
at DEUTZ of the R&D Division headed
by Dr Ralf Marquard. Dr Markus Mller,
who within R&D manages the system
integration application and certification,
explains the importance of the forthcoming EU V standard: With this
standard, Europe will adopt a pioneering role in the future. Among the
US authorities CARB and EPA, on
the other hand, there are currently no
visible steps towards the introduction
of a Tier 5. As soon as the EU V
standard has been put into force, this
will probably result in new momentum
in North America for the introduction of
a new Tier V emission standard in the
medium term. Of course the engine
manufacturers are always interested in
the greatest possible degree of harmonisation of the legislation in the various
regions in order to be able to offer the
market inexpensive technologies. It is of
course true that for Europe, the requirements which the engine manufacturers

In the last few years, numerous light
railcars have appeared on the market,
which have been further developed
to be customer and environmentallyfriendly. One of the most successful
vehicles is the articulated GTW railcar of
the firm Stadler Rail AG, whose headquarters are in Bussnang, Switzerland.
Stadler is a manufacturer of rail vehicles
which was founded in 1942 and whose
main focus is on regional rail car train
sets, trams and customised one-off productions. The first GTW, which had been
developed as a modular rail vehicle,
was produced in the 1990s. During the
course of the following years, the modular vehicle concept would prove to be
a guarantee of success, as it was possible to cover the various requirements

Specifically, the R&D and Production Divisions at DEUTZ are currently analysing
how to increase the engine throughput

For their investigations into the possibility of shortening the running-in programme, the DEUTZ experts used three
types of engines from the TCD 2.9 and
TCD 3.6 ranges: Firstly, those which had
undergone the entire conventional test
program of five minutes. Secondly, an
engine which had been subjected to a
cycle shortened to two minutes in the
test field. And finally as an extreme
test, so to speak green engines taken
directly from the assembly department
without any running in programme. With
each of them the employees carried out
oil consumption runs, then measured
the nominal power and performed a full
acceptance cycle. This procedure was
repeated twice in order to determine the
effects of the changed acceptance conditions. The conclusion: The shortening
of the running-in programme and restricting the documentation cycle to the
nominal power and low idle speed does
not result in any increase in oil consumption. The differences observed are within
the measurement tolerance range. Even
if the running-in process was completely
omitted, there was no discernible negative influence on the power output of
the engine. Although the oil consumption increased in this trial, it remained
below the permitted limit stated in the
electronic logbook for the engine configuration (ELTAB).
With the shortening of the overall cycle
from 5 to 2 minutes, which has been implemented in the meantime for the entire range of engines, DEUTZ has once
more followed its motto of: trusting in
the quality and consistency of ones
own products is good, but control is
better. A 10/90 arrangement has therefore been introduced: 10% of the engines continued to be subjected to the
conventional acceptance cycle, as an
ongoing random sample so to speak. If
discrepancies are found, the employees
can react immediately.
Figures that speak for themselves
Alfred Jaeger, the Head of the DEUTZ
test field, is very satisfied with the project
and has the statistics at hand which
prove its success: Up to now we have
had a capacity of 21 engines an hour on
our test beds. Simply by reducing the
running in period, we have been able to
increase this number to 25. If in the next
part of the project we modernise our
stock of driverless engine transporters,
which will probably take place in the
first quarter of 2015, we can achieve a
capacity of 31 engines an hour. If one
takes 240 working days a year as the
basis for three-shift operations, DEUTZ
has the possibility of reducing the acceptance time and thereby testing more
than 7200 additional engines per annum
in its test field. The expected value in
terms of resource savings is also impressive. Alfred Jaeger: On the basis of
70,000 tested engines every year, we
can expect to save around 50,000 L of
diesel. Above, however, the important
aspect is: The company saves in the
right area. Customers can continue to
rely on the tried and tested DEUTZ quality and on the fact that each individual
project is carefully tested, accepted and
documented. With the shortening of the
running-in cycle, DEUTZ has taken an
important step to continue supplying
its customers punctually in spite of the
increasing demand.
