New 3.3L engine
Bauma will see the global debut of the new Kubota **V3307-CR-TIE5-SCR** engine which offers significant benefits to operators for a range of applications. The compact **3.3 L**, EPA/CARB Tier 4, EU Stage V-compliant diesel engine provides a major increase in power and torque compared with an existing Kubota model. The existing and popular V3307-CR-T model continues to supply 56 kW of power and torque of 335 Nm.
However, following detailed market research and technological development by Kubota a new, more powerful re-designed and upgraded engine can provide **90 kW** at 2400 rpm and **400 Nm of torque** at 1500 rpm – but, crucially, with the **same dimensions**. “This new engine is exactly what our customers have been requesting – the ability to benefit from 90 kW of power and extra torque but with the same, compact dimensions of the existing V3307-CR-T model,” said Daniel Grant, Manager, Marketing Intelligence, Business Unit Engines Europe.
He added: “The existing V3307 engine remains a very popular choice among customers. However, the compact and more powerful new engine’s dimensions also support **downsizing** from, say, a 4 or 4.5 L engine to a 3.3 L model which offers a smaller footprint and architecture within machinery but with a significant boost in power and torque.”
The new V3307-CR-TIE5-SCR is already attracting strong interest from potential customers especially for use within typical **torque demanding applications** such as telehandlers, highway construction equipment such as rollers and pavers, multi-purpose vehicles including tool carriers and also wheel loaders.
A feature of the new 90 kW V3307-CR-TIE5-SCR is a highly compact **Selective Catalytic Reduction** system to reduce emissions – referred to as a **Compact Mixer** by Kubota. Its small dimensions allow operators to incorporate the after-treatment system more easily into machines. Grant added: “Within the markets we serve it is a very exciting milestone that Kubota has broken through the 56 kW barrier with such a compact and proven 3.3 L engine. “Based on our extensive market research and feedback we have received a lot of interest in the new engine.”
