/ kW

hr

Reducing NOx:• Combustion development• Reduce charge air temperature• Retard timing

Reducing Pm:• Optimized fuel air mixture• Increase injection pressure

Tier 2 Engine and Vehicle Changes

Tier 2 Engine Changes Higher pressure fuel injection system Electronic control of fuel delivery and timing Air system changes

Tier 2 Vehicle Changes Charge air cooling on more applications Redesigned cooling packages on some applications Electronic interface to engine on most applications Fuel coolers some applications

7

Tier 2 Compliance: Impact on Vehicles

Machine power, torque, transient response, cold start, productivity will equal or exceed Tier 1

Reliability and durability will be equal to Tier 1 Total operating cost comparable to Tier 1

(application dependent) Cleaner Tier 2 vehicles should demand

higher resale value

8

Tier 2Impact on End User

Engine changes to fuel injection system, air system

Minor changes to vehicles Vehicle performance,

reliability, total operating cost comparable to Tier 1

A Tradeoff:Fuel Consumption / Heat Rejection vs.

Emissions Compliance

Tier 3 Engine and Vehicle Changes

Tier 3 engine changes Exhaust gas re-circulation (EGR) Variable geometry turbocharger 4 valves per cylinder (>100HP) Advanced electronic controls High-pressure fuel systems Impermeable gas lines

Tier 3 vehicle changes Charge air cooling on most applications Larger radiators, fuel tanks, air cleaners, mufflers, etc. Improved air flow management and fan systems Vehicle changes to accommodate cooling needs

11

Tier 3 Compliance: Impact on Vehicles

Machine power, torque, transient response, cold start, productivity will equal or exceed Tier 2

Reliability and durability will be equal to Tier 2 Total operating costs may increase

Fuel consumption ~5% greater than Tier 2 (application dependent)

Deere’s objective is no fuel consumption increase Packaging will meet customer expectations for visibility and

machine operation Cleaner Tier 3 vehicles should demand higher

resale value

12

Tier 3 Impact on End User

Significant engine changes EGR, VG turbocharger, etc.

Significant vehicle changes to accommodate additional cooling needs

Performance and reliability comparable with Tier 2 vehicles

Total operating costs may increase due to increased fuel consumption

Oil Improvements

Higher Fire Temps/ Pressures in engines (after 1990) Prevent forming of carbon deposits, sludge and soot Different additives for less deposits Different viscosities-15w40 vs 0w40 2.7% in fuel

savings. (3.78 gal/mo/machine)

What is in the future?

Catalytic converters? Reduce Phosphorus in combustion Low Sulfur Diesel fuel New standard of oils (new additives)
