TAFE (Tractors and Farm Equipment) has commissioned a new Deutz engine production facility at its existing manufacturing plant in Alwar, India.
The first-ever production and manufacturing joint venture between the two companies, under the licensing agreement, TAFE will manufacture Deutz-licensed 2.2-litre (50-75hp) and 2.9-litre (75-100hp) engines for both domestic and international markets.
Annual production capacity is 35,000 engines and 50,000 sub-assemblies, and the opening of the new plant is also part of the TAFE group’s broader strategy to expand its total annual engine manufacturing capacity from 400,000 to 550,000 units by 2030.
TAFE boss Mallika Srinivasan says that the opening of the new plant marks a defining milestone in the company’s growth journey. “Our partnership with Deutz, one of Europe’s premier engine manufacturers and a pioneer in diesel engine technology brings together the precision of German engineering and the strength of India’s manufacturing capabilities,” she comments.
The strategic partnership with Deutz is expected to enhance technology transfer, improve manufacturing capabilities, and support both Indian and export markets with globally compliant engine solutions.
