Claas turns to Rolls-Royce for emissions-compliant engines

Rolls-Royce has signed a project agreement to supply its MTU engines for new Claas agricultural vehicles.

The engines will comply with the EU’s Stage V emissions standard, due to come into force in 2019.

Claas will be fitting the new MTU Series 1000 to 1500 engines to its Lexion and Tucano combine-harvesters, its Jaguar forage harvesters, and its 4×4 high-horsepower Xerion tractors.
