Here at EIP Diesel we re-manufacture and carry a small range of Deutz engines as service exchange units.
The models we carry are varied as our stock is driven by supply and demand. Engines are completely stripped, and damaged parts are replaced with genuine Deutz components. Injection pumps are fully reconditioned and serviced, belts and lines replaced along with of course any filters.
The engines are re-painted, and we test run each unit on our dyno to ensure that these units conform to the original specifications.
Other engines of course can be done by request and on demand as we sell and service a wide range of other engine types.
If you would like to know more about our exchange program to enquire about types and models please give Ken Fackler or Shannon Rossetto a call at EIP on 02 9675 3444

Not using your diesel-powered machines for a while? Some simple tips to help keep your engine in shape.
Engines are designed to be used – keep yours in good condition while it’s not in use. For many of us at the moment, that means where our equipment may be parked up for an extended periods. When equipment is left unused, problems can start to develop that will prevent it from working properly when the time comes to start it up again.
Remember, never leave your engine unattended when it’s running
Should you have any issues or want further advice do not hesitate to call us on 02 9675 3444 and speak to our Service department who are always here to assist you on site or in the workshop.
If you needed more evidence that the world of power systems is changing (and you shouldn’t), the Deutz exhibit at ConExpo-Con/Agg in March underscores that point rather strongly.
One of world’s oldest manufacturers of diesel engines, Deutz had eight displays, only two of which were new diesel engines. The diesels were the company’s TCD 2.2 and the newly introduced model TCD 13.5. There was also a remanufactured Deutz Xchange diesel.
The biggest part of the Deutz display was an all-electric model G5-18A telescopic handler concept, developed in collaboration with JLG. The G5-18A has a 360V drive system that uses a split drive comprising two, 40 kW electric motors – one for driving and one for the hydraulics in the telescopic arm. The battery is from the EDeutz modular toolbox and offers 42 kWh of capacity. The 6.6 kW charging system can restore the battery charge to 80 percent within four hours.
Deutz also presented an electric hybrid drive system designed specifically for use with aerial work platforms in low-load applications. The new Deutz D 1.2 hybrid combines a 1.2 L, three-cylinder diesel engine and a 48V electric motor.

DEUTZ TCD 9.0 named Diesel Engine of the Year – This 9 litre cubic capacity four-cylinder engine generates 300 kW and has been especially designed for heavy-duty construction equipment and agricultural machinery. It forms part of a new family of engines; together with the TCD 12.0 (400 kW / 2,500 Nm) and the TCD 13.5 (450 kW / 2,800 Nm) six-cylinder in-line engines.
The new engines are equipped with highly advanced technologies including crossflow cylinder heads, a downspeeding function for reducing fuel consumption and working noise levels plus a common rail system operating at an injection pressure of 2,200 bar. Up to 100 per cent power take-off is possible both at the belt and the flywheel side. Thanks to dynamic balancing weights, the four-cylinder TCD 9.0 achieves the same smooth running characteristics as the bigger six-cylinder engines.

Hybridization is not a new concept but has continued to evolve in the heavy-duty equipment industry as new power sources, technologies, and capacities become accessible and available. While hybridization is often thought of in terms of a vehicle or piece of equipment, it is the components and systems in those vehicles to which hybrid technology is applied.
And as hybrid technology as evolved over the years, so have the types of systems to which hybridisation can be applied. Over the last couple of years, hybrid engine concepts pairing a smaller sized engine with batteries, motors and other electronic components have become more prevalent.
Many engine manufacturers are seeing a compelling argument for hybridisation beyond just the cleanliness and efficiency gains; hybrid engines allow for lower horsepower options and thus more compact engines to be utilised, as well as providing OEMs and customers with more options to optimise their fuel or power choice based on preference and availability.
At the 2020 edition of CONEXPO-CON/AGG, almost every engine manufacturer had some sort of hybrid engine concept on display. While they all have their own unique features, there are some common attributes among many of them—a downsized engine, ability to run on various fuel types and integration of electronic components.
Kubota Engines, for example, showcased the latest iteration of its Micro-Hybrid system which incorporates a 48V motor generator in place of a traditional alternator. The purpose is to only activate the electric motor’s 10 kW (13.4 hp) power boost capabilities when intermittent overloads need to be handled so that engine selection doesn’t need to be based on peak energy, but rather the frequent power demands of normal work functions.
The V3307 Micro-Hybrid system prototype integrates with the electronic engine management control, making it compatible with many of Kubota’s existing diesel, gasoline, LPG and natural gas engines across various power ranges. Utilizing an independent driveline, the Micro-Hybrid system maintains accessibility to the existing PTO positions of a conventional engine, making it suitable for both existing applications and new applications that may require a more compact design.
Both Caterpillar Inc. and FPT Industrial debuted their hybrid engine concepts for the first time at CONEXPO. The hybrid version of FPT’s F28 modular, multi-power engine is particularly suited for light construction equipment and the rental market the company says due to the inclusion of a “light EGR” and DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst). “Since we don’t have a lot of particulate matter, we don’t need a lot of filtering which is how our unit can be so small,” explains Braden Cammauf, Head of FPT Industrial Brand North America.
The concept hybrid engine pairs a diesel engine with an e-flywheel. The electric motor adds 27 hp (20 kW) of continuous power and 40 hp (29.8 kW) of peak power; an optimized Start & Stop function provides smoother engine starting, aiding productivity as well as comfort for machine operators.
Caterpillar’s Cat C18 hybrid concept is designed to optimize machine performance by capturing surplus energy through a parallel hybrid system which can be re-introduced back into the machine when necessary.

The Perkins story began with a partnership between Frank Perkins, the businessman with a vision, and the brilliant engineer Charles Chapman in a two-room ground floor office in Queen Street, Peterborough, UK. There, with two other directors and three employees, they built The Vixen, the world’s first high-speed diesel 4-cylinder engine.
Within four years the new company, F. Perkins Ltd., Engineers, was producing 556 engines a year. The firm was based in Peterborough not just because the Perkins name was already well known there, but because there was a pool of skilled engineering labour available, and fast, reliable rail links to potential customers in London and the Midlands.
Rival companies quickly grew up to try to share the market, but over the years more and more of them diversified into producing their own machines. Perkins remained focused solely on the design and manufacture of diesel engines.
In the beginning, Frank went looking for customers in the rapidly growing motor industry, and fitted his new engine to a Hillman car, manufactured by Humber Cars, and a Commer truck. The Hillman, with a cruising speed of 50 mph and an engine speed of slightly over 3000 rpm, was an immediate success, but the engine had to be modified to produce sufficient power for the Commer truck.
After consultations with Thomas Keep, the managing director of Commer, about the company’s requirements, the cylinders were bored out from 75 mm to 85 mm diameter, producing a 30 percent increase in torque. The modified Wolf Engine was accepted for the Commer production line and exhibited at the Commercial Vehicle Exhibition of 1933.
From this first contract with an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) was established our lasting tradition of working closely with OEMs to achieve a successful integration of our engines.
Interest was growing in the diesel engine – much cheaper to run than its petrol equivalent – and both agents and manufacturers were maintaining a steady demand. A Birmingham, UK, company, Birmal Boats, started to convert the Wolf Engine for marine use, and the Admiralty was expressing an interest in its possible use in Royal Navy ships.
By the end of 1934, a total of 150 marine engines had been sold, with firm orders for another 45 on the books. Engineering progress continued over the next few years, leading to the iconic P4 and P6 engines, the platforms for several future award-winning engines which appeared in 1937.
At the same time, the company was building up a team of agents around the UK from Devon to Scotland.
By the mid 1930s, Perkins was established as a leading engineering company, with groundbreaking new products.
Several of the original traditions continued to guide operations – an exclusive focus on diesel and now hybrid & gas engines, a determination to work with manufacturers to reach the best integration solution and a commitment to developing distribution so that the company maintains a genuine local presence.
Frank Perkins has since died but his original vision lives on as our exciting reality.
