FPT Industrialpowers CASE Construction Equipment’s new E-Series Crawler Excavators.
FPT Industrialis strengthening its already solid position in the construction equipmentsector with the new ‘E-Series’ crawler excavators from CASE ConstructionEquipment to be powered by the company’s Stage V NEF engines. Building on alegacy of earth-moving innovation spanning 180 years, CASE now presents the ‘E-Series’crawler excavators – where ‘E’ stands for ‘Excellence’ – ranging from 13 to30-metric ton models: CX130E, CX160E, CX180E, CX210E, CX240E, CX250E, and CX300E.
They all featurebest-in-class benefits, offering customers greater controllability, reliability,operator comfort, efficiency, productivity, and lower total cost of ownership(TCO), and are all powered by FPT Industrial’s NEF engines. The choice of FPTIndustrial NEF engines will guarantee an improved transient response ensuringhigh reliability, thus responding to the demanding needs of this specificapplication.
With theE-Series, CASE completes its Stage V offering confirming FPT Industrial as astrong partner.
The newE-Series incorporates more powerful and efficient Stage V engines,which offer greater displacement while meeting stringent emissionsrequirements. The 13-18-metric tonne models feature the N45, the 4.5-literengine from the renowned NEF series, while the N67 (6.7-liter,6-cylinder version from the same engine family) powers the 21-30-metric tonnemodels.
The NEFengines powering the new CASE E-Series ensure optimal combustionefficiency thanks to their EGR-free architecture, while theFPT-patented HI-eSCR2 after-treatment system results in low running costs– this for-life system has no need for mechanical cleaning or replacement partsover its life cycle. High-capacity filters with clogging sensordeliver best-in-class service intervals of up to 1,000 hours – anoutstanding improvement over previous solutions.
With the NEFengines powering this new range of excavators, more and more CASE Constructionvehicles are being supplied with an FPT engine. This provides advantages in thefield, with the management of construction sites greatly simplified.
To allow the useof renewable fuels, NEF Stage V engines fitted on all E-Series models arecompatible with EN15940-compliant fuels, such as the increasingly popular HVO(Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils).
Designed for themost demanding construction equipment missions, the NEF series is the foremostexample of FPT Industrial’s technological excellence. Since 2001, more than 2million engines have been manufactured for a wide range of applications:construction equipment, agriculture, on-road, marine, and power generation.
FPT Industrial’soffering for the earthmoving sector features engine families with power outputsranging from 40 to 670 kW, and displacements of 2.8 to 20 litres. They can beinstalled on a number of applications, such as excavators, wheel loaders, skidsteer loaders, graders, dozers, forklifts, and cranes, amongst others.
With best-in-classperformance in terms of power, torque, fuel efficiency, and reliability, theNEF series stands out for its flexibility, with 4- (N45) and 6- (N67) cylinderconfigurations, as well as a wide range of options to customize the solution tothe customers’ requirements.
Both NEF enginesand the HI-eSCR2 system for Stage V compliance are offered in a compact andlightweight package to facilitate installation on the vehicle, offering a widerange of after-treatment layouts for customized solutions. Combiningrobustness, reliability, and performance, NEF engines have been chosen by hugenumbers of customers over the years for heavy-duty off-road applications.
“The new CASEE-Series excavators are a perfect example of how a combination of new andleading features can integrate and work together to deliver customers great andreal benefits,” says Diego Rotti, Off-Road Product Marketing Managerof FPT Industrial. “We are proud to provide CASE Construction Equipment withpowerful and efficient engine solutions granting the technological excellencethey deserve and to do our very best to keep CASE at the top of such acompetitive and demanding industry.”
