Breaking News: DEUTZ G-Drive 24L
A new DEUTZ 24 -liter engine opens up a higher power class for installation in gensets
DEUTZ unveiled at Motorworld Cologne a 12-cylinder, 24-litre engine (bore x stroke: 132×145 mm) that opens a new chapter in the Cologne-based manufacturer’s presence in the power generation market — a presence that now also sees Deutz stepping into the role of OEM, following the acquisitions of Blue Star Power Systems and Frerk.
G-Drive Line Up: Engine and Radiator
The DEUTZ G-Drive lineup comprises two new product lines with a continuous power range: from 30 to 800 kVA for unregulated applications and from 30 to 600 kVA for EU Stage V gensets.
As a highlight, DEUTZ showed the TCD 24.0 V12 GDU-L for the first time: with this 24-liter power package, DEUTZ is opening up a new higher performance class for its customers for installation in power generation units. This engine is able to deliver 679 kW (842 kVA) in stand-by and 617 kW (765 kVA) in prime power.
Markus Villinger, CEO Business Unit Engines at DEUTZ, explains: “Highly reliable, high- performance engines are in demand, especially in the field of emergency power systems and generators. These qualities distinguish our engines and the associated global service. With the new DEUTZ G-Drive lineup, we are now systematically providing our customers in the genset market with an engine portfolio that is perfectly tailored to their specific requirements.”
The market for decentralized energy supply is growing worldwide. Rising electricity demand, the increasing share of volatile renewable energies, and the expansion of digital infrastructure, especially data centers, are driving demand for gensets in all regions.
