PETERBOROUGH, England-Perkins Engines Co. has unveiled a new line of environmentally compliant 400 series diesel engines for use in agricultural machinery, generator, construction and general industrial applications.
The 400D series, as it is called, meets all European and U.S. Tier 3 and Stage IIIa emission requirements, in anticipation of when those standards come into force in 2008. According to Perkins general manager Michael Wright, the company is introducting the new engines to the marketplace now so OEMs will be able to ensure their products are also compliant well before the legislative deadline.
