As DEUTZ Australia expands its support for Daimler Truck off-highway engines, the OM926 LA joins our portfolio.

Why the OM926?

Part of the OM900 family, the OM926 has a long track record across commercial, industrial and heavy-duty applications. Power, durability and proven performance make it a good fit for demanding operating environments including:

  • Construction
  • Material handling
  • Mining
  • Heavy lifting equipment

What’s new

With our local engineering capability, we’re taking the platform further. Our Technical Support Team is developing an OM926 Power Pack, designed to simplify integration into off-highway applications such as such as agricultural machinery and pumping equipment and more.

Read on to learn more about the OM926, see where it’s already working in Australia, and how DEUTZ is expanding its support for selected Daimler off-highway engines.

OM926 Applications in Australia

The OM926 is a proven platform for demanding heavy-duty and off-highway work.

In Australia, OM926 engines paired with automatic transmissions are powering pick-and-carry crane applications, delivering the power and torque required for lifting, material handling and other mobile equipment.

The platform also suits to equipment operating in tough conditions such as mining, quarrying, construction and roadworks, where durability, performance and dependable engine support are critical.

From cranes to quarries, the OM926 reflects the versatility of the Daimler engine range

OM926 Power Pack

OM926 Power Pack DEUTZ Australia is using its local engineering expertise to develop an OM926 Power Pack for off-highway applications, particularly agricultural machinery and pump installations.

What’s in the package?

  • Engine mounting frame and skid
  • Cooling package
  • Muffler
  • Air cleaner
  • Control panel
  • Wiring harness

The proposed Power Pack brings together key components including:

Ready to run

Combining Daimler engine technology with locally engineered components, the the Power Pack combines proven is a complete, ready-to-run solution that simplifies machine integration and supports faster project delivery.

DEUTZ Xchange – Now Supporting Selected Daimler Engines

DEUTZ’s support for the Daimler OM engine range now goes beyond new engine supply.
