A TRADITION OF ACHIEVEMENT A key moment in our history: In 1876 Nicolaus August Otto developed the world’s first four-stroke engine, paving the way for motorised vehicles. His passion, unbridled ambition and vision remain a part of us to this day. 150 years on, DEUTZ, is a globally successful group that is still keeping the world moving with its engine technologies – and a tradition of achievement. CONTENTS 2 Foreword 4 DEUTZ shares 8 A tradition of achievement 18 Strategy 21 Group management report 57 Consolidated financial statements 62 Notes to the consolidated financial statements 116 Miscellaneous 120 Report of the Supervisory Board 124 Corporate management declaration and corporate governance report 2 DEUTZ AG Annual Report 2013 FOREWORD Global economic growth remained muted overall in 2013, despite the sentiment indicators offering a somewhat brighter outlook towards the end of the year. Taking this into consideration DEUTZ can look back on a fine year. A strong upturn in business led to a record level of new orders for the current corporate structure. These had a total value of €1.65 billion, outstripping the previous year’s amount by around one third. Revenue from the 184,028 engines that we sold came to €1.45 billion, a 12.5 per cent increase on 2012. Our operating profit (EBIT) rose from €37.1 million to €47.5 million. The EBIT margin went up from 2.9 per cent to 3.3 per cent. Revenue and earnings were therefore in line with our forecasts. You will be pleased to hear that these positive figures were reflected in the share price. After ending the year up 83.2 per cent at €6.49, DEUTZ shares outperformed all benchmark indices, demonstrating that the capital markets are also taking note of our successful strategy and prospects for growth. Now that we meet the conditions laid down in the German Commercial Code (HGB) for a distribution of profits, we and the Supervisory Board recommend the payment of a dividend of €0.07 per share for 2013. Going forward, we intend to continue sharing profits with you through regular dividend payments. All in all, 2013 was a good year for DEUTZ. The high level of new orders, our large number of new customer projects and new applications with existing customers prove that our product offensive is bearing fruit, particularly with regard to our new TCD 2.9 and 3.6 engines. These have been extremely well received in the market and are helping us to win new customers. Overall, we believe we are well placed in the global market thanks to our modern, eco-friendly, high- performance products. We continue to be fully convinced of China being an important growth market. In the year under review, our Chinese joint venture DEUTZ Dalian was able to grow approx. 30 per cent and to generate a positive result. Last year, we teamed up with our customer and development partner AB Volvo to establish a production company in China. We have now been granted a business licence for this enterprise, in which DEUTZ is the majority shareholder. By the end of 2015 the intention is for it to be producing medium-duty engines for construction equipment required by the AB Volvo Group and other customers.

  • China Automotive Industry Study Report for the Swedish Energy Agency August 2019
    BUSINESS SWEDEN CHINA AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY STUDY REPORT FOR THE SWEDISH ENERGY AGENCY AUGUST 2019 www.eqtpartners.com An assignment from the Swedish Energy Agency Göran Stegrin, email [email protected] Disclaimer: This report reflects the view of the consultant (Business Sweden) and is not an official standpoint by the agency. BUSINESS SWEDEN | CHINA AUTOMOTIVE IND USTRY STUDY | 2 SUMMARY Economic slowdown and an ongoing trade war with the United States have impacted the Chinese automotive market. In 2018, new vehicle sales declined for the first time in 20 years. Sales totaled 28,08 million units, reflecting a -2.8% y/y. Electric vehicles remain a promising segment, as the government still provides substantial subsidies to manufacturers, while customers are offered incentives and favorable discounts for purchasing. In order to guide the industry, the Chinses government is gradually reducing subsidies. Stricter rules are also set to raise the subsidy threshold, which will force both OEMs and suppliers along the value chain to increasingly convert themselves into hi-tech companies with core competencies. The evolution is driven by solutions addressing the three main issues created by the last decade’s market boom: energy consumption, pollution and traffic congestion. The Chinese government has shifted its attention from total volume to engine mix and is progressively creating incentives to small and low emission vehicles, while supporting investment in new energy vehicles, mainly electric. In this direction, technologies surrounding new energy vehicles such as power cell materials, fuel cell and driving motor will receive strong support and offer more opportunities. In the light weight area, structure optimization is still the primary ways for OEMs the achieve the weight reduction goal.

Policy imperatives and government support could ensure three-fold volume growth by 2020, which would make China half of this developing global market.

  • Ammonia Powered Engine
    Ammonia Powered Engine A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree in Bachelor of Science In Mechanical Engineering By: ___________________________ Alexander James Baldino ___________________________ Brendan Walter Gallagher ___________________________ Hayden George Furcolo Date: 5/18/2020 Project Advisor ___________________________ Professor Robert Daniello Acknowledgements We would like to thank our project advisor Professor Robert Daniello for his knowledge and guidance throughout our entire MQP process. We would also like to thank Barbara Fuhrman of the Mechanical Engineering Office for her help in acquiring material for our project and her dedication to our success. Additionally, we would like to thank Ian Anderson and James Loiselle, as well as the entirety of the Washburn Shops staff, for their help during our manufacturing processes. 1 | P a g e Abstract Cars are a significant source of carbon emissions into the atmosphere and with a growing number of cars on the road, this is negatively affecting the atmosphere. The carbon emissions cars emit comes from the gasoline being burned in the engine. While battery/electrics provide one solution, energy density and speed of refueling are favorable with internal combustion engines. A potential candidate for replacing hydrocarbons as the fuel for combustion engines is ammonia. A molecule of ammonia is composed of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms producing nitrogen gas and water upon combustion. Neither product of combustion is harmful to our environment and the ammonia itself can be produced through “green” renewable energy processes. Using a small engine from a snow blower, we aimed to modify the engine to run off of ammonia as the fuel source.

TAYLOR UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1939 For lale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 50 cents ADVERTISEMENT Tlie scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collec- tions of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organi- zations and to specialists and others interested in the different sub- jects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. Tlie series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens and special collections, and other material of simi- lar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear vol- umes under the heading Contrihutions from the United States Na- tional Eerharium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.
