Kubota offers its first electronically-controlled diesel engine under 19kW, the newly developed D902-K. The D902-K bolsters Kubota's diesel engine line by responding to various regional emission standards, including EPA Tier 4, EU Stage V, China IV standards and China's Category III national smoke regulations. The new D902-K is a three-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 0.898 L and an output of 18.5 kW.
“As an industry leader, Kubota continues to meet the diverse engine needs of equipment manufacturers from around the world,” Tomokazu Matsushita, president of Kubota Engine America, said. “Kubota’s D902-K electronically controlled engine allows manufacturers to easily replace the existing conventional engine without the need to redesign the current machine. It will match current dimensions, structures and power takeoff of existing engines.”
Equipped with a one-of-a-kind common rail system developed exclusively for small engines, the electronically controlled D902-K comes with a new TVCR combustion system. The result is an engine that is compact and easy to mount and reduces the amount of black smoke to an undetectable level.
In addition to the suppression of black smoke, the D902-K consumes approximately 5% less fuel than its current conventional model. The D902-K is capable of communicating via the Controller Area Network (CAN), which allows engine speed and torque to be controlled using signals from the vehicle and can also acquire engine operating data for telematics purposes.
Kubota’s lineup for CONEXPO 2023 will showcase its carbon neutral solutions, new engine technology and aftermarket support. Get an exclusive look at the D902-K engine in the South Hall at booth #S84415, starting March 14!
