Kubota Engine America Unveils First Full Lineup of Spark Ignited Gasoline Engines
Lincolnshire, Illinois – Kubota Engine America Corp. is now offering a full lineup of Spark Ignited gaseous engines, available in gasoline, propane, natural gas or dual fuel options for manufacturers of construction and industrial equipment. The WG 3800 is the newest member of the WG series, now 0.74L to 3.8L and including five models, the WG752, WG972, WG1605, WG2503 and WG3800. Outputs range from 23.5 to 97.9 horsepower. The full line will be on display at The Rental Show in Atlanta, Feb. 21-24, 2016, at booth #4065.
The Spark Ignited WG series is unique in that it is mirrored after Kubota’s Compression Ignited diesel line. As a result, all gasoline engines are industrial based, rather than automotive based like much of the market, and can be used wherever their equivalent diesel engines are used today. The industrial diesel based engine design allows the Spark Ignited WG line to have similar levels of power and torque, compared to its diesel counterpart. “Because our Spark Ignited engines are made using the same major diesel engine components, they inherit the proven robustness of the diesel engine range. Kubota Spark Ignited engines utilize heavy-duty drive gears, whereas automotive based competitors use rubber drive belts. If these rubber belts are exposed to extreme conditions or not serviced correctly, they may break causing potentially catastrophic engine failure,” says Kubota Engine America Strategic Business Development Manager Rob Shailes.
With the complete WG line, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) now have the option to utilize either fuel type, diesel or gasoline, without significantly re-engineering the installation envelope. “Kubota is the only company now offering a full range of complimentary Compression Ignited/Spark Ignited engines below 100 horsepower. The lines maintain interface and major service points, easing installation and familiarity for technicians. The options are important with expected Tier 5 diesel emission requirements on the horizon in the United States,” Shailes says.
As emission standards for industrial diesel engines become more stringent, the Spark Ignited engines are not subjected to Tier 4 or anticipated Tier 5 requirements. Kubota’s full WG line serves as a cost-efficient alternative and promotes company growth in market segments that have shown interest such as aerial work platforms, material handling, airport ground support equipment and air compressors. Kubota Canada Sales and Marketing Manager JP Ouellette says, “As gasoline prices decline, these Spark Ignited engines save money, while maintaining reliability and durability for our customers. This solution proves Kubota continues to be the industry leader, providing the most diverse fuel options and the greatest multitude of emissions certifications, for an increasing variety of industries.”
