John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) showcased an expanding engine lineup and electric drive-train solutions during a press event at March's ConExpo-Con/Agg show in Las Vegas. Built with a clean-sheet design, the new 13.6-L engine offers new levels of performance, service-ability and integration - all key characteristics for OEM customers. This design process was driven specifically by customer requirements. According to JDPS, the 13.6-L provides more power per liter than previous 13.5-L configurations, increasing power by 14%.

To meet those objectives, the team considered the top customer needs and created a list of design requirements. “We leveraged and optimized our proven technologies developed over the years to best address market and customer needs in heavy-duty applications. This ensured the final product would deliver increased performance and overall value to our OEM customers and end users,” said David Hoffman, JDPS' director of worldwide marketing, sales and customer support.
