January 24, 2018

Perkins Engines is showcasing its dual certified offerings including its 9L 1706J engine, products from its Perkins Syncro engine line and more at World of Concrete 2018. Perkins will also show its innovative aftermarket offerings - the Perkins SmartCap and Perkins My Engine App. The latest advances in the Perkins construction line-up, including the Perkins Syncro 2.2L, 3.6L and 1706J along with its latest breakthrough aftermarket offerings, the Perkins SmartCap and Perkins My Engine App, will provide the highlights as Perkins returns to World of Concrete: Las Vegas Convention Center/Material Handling, Central Hall/Booth #C5979.

The show, held in Las Vegas January 23 - 26, is the largest annual international event dedicated to concrete and masonry professionals. 1500 exhibitors will greet more than 55,000 visitors at the show.

The Perkins team, with more than 85 years of proud heritage behind it, will use this platform to showcase its global product range suited for the construction industry, breakthrough aftermarket solutions and to strengthen relationships with the most important piece of the equation - customers and OEMs who choose Perkins to power their machines.

Visitors to the Perkins stand will see the latest line-up of engines for the construction industry, from the compact and popular Perkins Syncro 2.2 liter engine up to the powerful and robust 1706J engine. In between and on display will be the biggest of the Perkins Syncro range, the 3.6 liter offering. Each engine on display is certified to meet both U.S. Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emissions standards. Perkins engines allow customers to maximize performance and minimize complexity via dual certification and provide reliable emissions solutions where customers need it most - on the job.

By taking advantage of Perkins comprehensive engine range extending 8.2-597 kW (11-800 hp), from the compact 0.5L to the powerful 18L engines, customers can save themselves time and money by using one supplier for all engine needs across their global machine lineup. The show will provide Perkins with another opportunity to showcase breakthrough aftermarket offerings in the Perkins SmartCap and the associated Perkins My Engine App. The solution allows users to add telematic monitoring to any Perkins engine - mechanical and electronic - simply by replacing their normal oil cap with the Perkins SmartCap. It's the first technology of its kind ever to come to market.

Perkins SmartCap transfers live data, such as hours of use, direct to the Perkins My Engine App, allowing users to better plan their service schedules. Extra functions include information to determine what parts an engine needs and an easy way to find your local distributor.

"Our Perkins team works around the clock to provide innovative, proven and reliable solutions throughout the construction industry," said Jaz Gill, Perkins Vice President, Global Sales, Marketing, Service and Parts. "From our compact Perkins Syncro offerings to the power and durability of our new 9 liter 1706 offering that will help customers tackle the most rugged of projects, we are proud to display our brand at the World of Concrete. Stop by for a visit and see for yourselves."
