Manufacturers of large engines and related components face mounting pressures: they are expected to meet rising demands for engine output, while also reducing fuel consumption and emissions. New concepts for engines, injection systems, waste-heat recovery and drivetrain optimization are called for in order to overcome these challenges. Combining presentations and in-depth discussions, the international MTZ conference "Heavy-Duty, On- and Off-Highway Engines" offers you the ideal platform.

In order to comply with increasingly low emissions thresholds and in some cases to meet the requirement to produce no local emissions, the manufacturers of heavy-duty engines and their suppliers are adopting a wide range of different powertrain concepts with a focus on both current and future standards. For this reason, this year’s theme of the annual MTZ Conference “Heavy-Duty, On- and Off-Highway Engines” is “Future Challenges”. This successful ATZlive event is the ideal platform for engineers in the field of heavy-duty engine development to find out in detail about current technical developments and future trends. It also offers the opportunity to take part in discussions with other experts.

The conference is keeping pace with developments in the field of engines. As a result, this year parallel sessions are being held for the first time, which allows us to offer more presentations and cover new subjects during the course of the two days. The key themes in 2018 are new diesel and gas engines, reducing emissions, powertrain concepts for on- and off-highway vehicles, fuel injection, and developing components in the context of an entire system. At the end of the first day DEUTZ AG has invited the conference participants to visit its engine plant in the Porz district of Cologne. In addition, the conference is accompanied by a technical exhibition.
