[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Pyeonghwa] Hyundai Doosan Infracore announced on the 15th that it signed an engine supply agreement for 8,000 units with Italian agricultural machinery manufacturer Goldoni Kistrack during the five-day European top three agricultural machinery exhibition, ‘2022 EIMA (EIMA International 2022)’, held in Bologna, Italy, starting from the 9th of this month.

Hyundai Doosan Infracore will sequentially supply small diesel G2 engines to be installed in agricultural machinery equipment such as tractors produced by Goldoni in Europe for five years starting from the first half of next year. Goldoni selected Hyundai Doosan Infracore as the final engine supplier, judging that the G2 engine’s compact design, quality, and price competitiveness, tailored to the characteristics of European tractor equipment, are superior overall compared to competitors.

The G2 engine is an eco-friendly, high-efficiency engine that meets the highest level of emission regulations, Europe Stage 5. Applying Hyundai Doosan Infracore’s patented ULFC (Ultra Low Fuel Consumption) technology, it increases output compared to previous models while reducing fuel and engine oil consumption to the lowest level in its class. Its compact design offers the advantage of not being significantly constrained by installation space.

Im Hyeongtaek, Executive Director in charge of engine sales at Hyundai Doosan Infracore, said, “This contract is a case that confirms the competitiveness of the G2 engine in the European agricultural machinery market,” adding, “We will strive to diversify our engine product lineup and strengthen competitiveness in eco-friendly battery packs to gradually expand our export regions in Europe.”

Hyundai Doosan Infracore also plans to hold discussions with Kistrack Group, the Belgian parent company of Goldoni, regarding the supply of diesel and hybrid engines and battery packs for electric tractors. If the contract is finalized, additional engine supplies may proceed.
