new high-power version of the KDI 1903TCR, a next-generation engine has been released by Rehlko. According to the company the all-new model offers a 50 kW (67 hp) output and 250 Nm (184 lb.-ft) of torque for demanding tasks in a compact footprint. Maximum installation flexibility is provided by the engine’s compact design, reports Rehlko, making it ideal for tight spaces like a genset compartment.
The new KDI 1903TCR engine comers with a sophisticated aftertreatment system, featuring a diesel particulate filter (DPF) engineered to meet EU Stage V emission regulations. The advanced DPF technology incorporated in the engine ensures efficient automatic regeneration, even at low engine speeds, says Rehlko.
Fuelled by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), the engine offers a lifecycle emissions reduction of up to 90% compared with standard diesel fuel "without sacrificing performance or maintenance intervals", reports the manufacturer.
Rehlko said it has also focused on serviceability by providing one-side service access and oil change intervals at 500 hours to reduce operational costs. Further customisation is available, Rehlko said, with options for flywheels, oil pans and other components.
