DEUTZ AG commit to their entrepreneurial responsibility and sustainable business activities.
As early as in 2003, DEUTZ implemented a voluntary environmental management system. Its compliance with the internationally applicable standard DIN EN ISO 14001 was once more confirmed by an independent auditor of the certification agency DNV (Det Norske Veritas) in September 2009.
With this programme, we are setting ourselves voluntary targets for reducing the environmental impact that may result from the business activities of DEUTZ. Recertification by DNV confirms and supports our striving for a contribution to the protection of the environment with different measures.
To continue to improve environmental protection, achieving energy savings and reducing plant-related emissions are the essential environmental objectives for DEUTZ in the medium term. In 2009, additional motor test benches were equipped with generator brakes so that the percentage of electricity fed into our own power grid could be doubled within a year.
In the Ulm plant, exhaust handling for the motor test area was centralised and a soot filter meeting the criterion of “best available technology” was installed. This lowers dust emission to a level that complies with the highest technical requirements.
New technologies for the challenges of our future
Since the four four-stroke engine was developed, DEUTZ feels commitment to this heritage. With great innovative power, we continually optimise our products for long-term customer benefit and environmental compatibility.
Therefore, we not only maintained but even increased our budget for research & development even in the light of the difficult economic environment.
We are following a simple principle: “As much technology as necessary and as little as possible”. The groundbreaking role in technology that DEUTZ has been holding for 145 years now is not an end in itself. Our customers, as well as the environment, profit from increased efficiency through lower consumption, lower emission and, at the same time, better motor performance.
