New 3.3 L engine offers significant benefits and is compact and easy to install; first presentation of new 90 kW model at Bauma.
Bauma will see the global debut of the new Kubota V3307-CR-TIE5-SCR engine which offers significant benefits to operators for a range of applications.
The compact 3.3 L, EPA/CARB Tier 4, EU Stage V-compliant diesel engine provides a major increase in power and torque compared with an existing Kubota model.
The existing and popular V3307-CR-T model continues to supply 56 kW of power and torque of 335 Nm.
However, following detailed market research and technological development by Kubota a new, more powerful re-designed and upgraded engine can provide 90 kW at 2400 rpm and 400 Nm of torque at 1500 rpm – but, crucially, with the same dimensions.
“This new engine is exactly what our customers have been requesting – the ability to benefit from 90 kW of power and extra torque but with the same, compact dimensions of the existing V3307-CR-T model,” said Daniel Grant, Manager, Marketing Intelligence, Business Unit Engines Europe.
He added: “The existing V3307 engine remains a very popular choice among customers. However, the compact and more powerful new engine’s dimensions also support downsizing from, say, a 4 or 4.5 L engine to a 3.3 L model which offers a smaller footprint and architecture within machinery but with a significant boost in power and torque.”
The new V3307-CR-TIE5-SCR is already attracting strong interest from potential customers especially for use within typical torque demanding applications such as telehandlers, highway construction equipment such as rollers and pavers, multi-purpose vehicles including tool carriers and also wheel loaders.
A feature of the new 90 kW V3307-CR-TIE5-SCR is a highly compact Selective Catalytic Reduction system to reduce emissions – referred to as a Compact Mixer by Kubota. Its small dimensions allow operators to incorporate the after-treatment system more easily into machines.
Grant added: “Within the markets we serve it is a very exciting milestone that Kubota has broken through the 56 kW barrier with such a compact and proven 3.3 L engine.
“Based on our extensive market research and feedback we have received a lot of interest in the new engine.”
