Currently CO2 standards are not defined by legislation for powertrains of mobile machinery. However, CO2 reduction is driven by political incentives, product strategies of OEMs and the economic evaluation of each application. DEUTZ AG, formerly known as non-captive manufacturer of diesel engines, is expanding its product portfolio to serve the OEM with CO2-free powertrains needed for different applications.
In this paper DEUTZ gives an outlook on its technology strategy which comprises electric and hybrid powertrains from 48 to 400 V as well as combustion engines operated with synthetic fuels which are usable as drop-in fuels for existing diesel engines and gas engines which may be operated with regeneratively produced methane. Finally, the hydrogen engine is presented as an option for the use of green hydrogen produced by electrolysis enabled by regenerative wind or solar power.
The appropriate approach to energy options can only be understood when energy supply and its worldwide production is considered as a whole. Germany as an example was, in the past, always dependent on energy imports and it is assumed it will stay in this position in the future. Scientific analyses show that Germany will not be able to produce solar and wind power in a magnitude that will enables it to be independent from energy imports. Therefore, storage capacity for regenerative energy is needed. This can be either hydrogen or consecutive products.
