Hatz in Mid-2025
At bauma 2025, we spoke with Michael Hatz about the F Series and the future of the Bavarian company
Here we tell you what we gathered about Hatz at the 2025 edition of bauma Munich. In this article, we had taken stock of the engine manufacturer from Ruhstorf back in 2021.
Welcome, F Series
We discussed this in the May-June issue of POWERTRAIN International, featuring the first ‘batch’ of news from Munich. The foundations of the technological journey that brought Hatz to Stage V were laid back in 2013, with the debut of the 4H50TIC, a sophisticated yet heavy-duty engine featuring an external Wahler EGR system and a DOC by HJS. Three years later, the vision materialised in a three-cylinder version. With a displacement of just half a litre per cylinder, the engine adopted Bosch common rail injection. At the time, its specific output of 28.6 kW/dm³ and torque density of 121.1 Nm/dm³ set a new benchmark for the competition. And Hatz hasn’t strayed from that path ever since. Before diving into the next chapter—hint: it starts with the letter F.
Michael Hatz at bauma 2025
Michael Hatz, Global Communication Manager, spoke with us about the F Series and more at the Hatz stand at bauma 2025. “What we aimed to do at bauma this year was to take a step back and reflect on our tradition, while also showcasing innovation. We wanted to pay tribute to our partners, who have stood by us for nearly 150 years. As we approach our 150th anniversary—we’re currently at 145—we see bauma as the perfect venue to begin this journey of celebrating excellence. At our stand, we presented our complete engine portfolio, highlighting where we come from as well as where we’re heading. Alongside our engines, we also displayed our latest innovations, services, and energy solutions, offering a comprehensive view of what Hatz represents today and what we are developing for the next five years. The highlight is our new engine line—the F-series—which completes our portfolio. With it, we now cover a power range from 1.5 kW to 64 kW, with no gaps in between. That’s what ‘new’ means for us: a seamless offering. While there is some overlap with the H-series, the F-series brings significant engineering enhancements. Both series share the same high-quality standards that define Hatz.”
