Last year there was a press release on Deutz's website regarding the increased partnership between the two companies including the development of a new engine for the material handling industry. This will be a 2.2l 3 cylinder diesel or LPG/gas engine. Currently VW engines are still in Linde products 5t and under, Deutz in the 5t-8t, MTU in the 1411 where emmissions matter, Perkins where they don't, cummins in the 1401. Deutz will probably replace the VW by early 2018 as the engine was only completed and presented Q2 2016. There will then be time to build and fit into the Linde, production of engines and coupling parts etc. I for one can't wait to see the end of VW. No timing belt no problems!
