Demand for clean diesel is certainly on the rise. In 2012, Corley\u2019s company, Deutz Group, had more than $1.7 billion in revenue.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe\u2019re not a well-known brand,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe don\u2019t make the end product, but a lot of our customers do.\u201d Those customers include such well-known names as AGCO and Volvo, which use Deutz engines in their products.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGovernment regulations are requiring cleaner engines. In 2007, all on-road engines manufactured had to meet Environmental Protection Agency standards, which led to the development of diesel particulate filters. In 2012, the EPA further reduced the level of nitrogen oxides (NO\u003Csub\u003Ex\u003C\/sub\u003E).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cEPA is very stringent about meeting their standards,\u201d said Corley. \u201cAnd they have no problems with putting fines on you.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENow, technologies are being added to monitor diesel engines. A light signals when the engine is not in line with standards and the vehicle owner must go to the dealership for repair.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor a country that has not had to suffer high fuel costs until the past decade, there was little to no demand for diesel engines. Now, Corley noted, his company is seeing more convert from gas to diesel, which may have a positive impact on gasoline consumption.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cOwners of Audi TDI engines have helped save more than 4 million gallons of gas, or the equivalent of more than 240,000 barrels of foreign oil,\u201d said Corley. \u201cTDI technology delivers better fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. Diesel engines can do more than a hybrid can do.\u201d \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECorley also noted that Deutz\u2019s remanufacturing business is on the rise, which further enhances its environmental impact. \u201cRemanufacturing creates 70 percent in raw material savings, and it reduces energy use by 60 percent,\u201d he noted. \u201cIt is a low-cost, high-quality production alternative. Our warranty is the same as new. It\u2019s also good for the economy because it creates jobs locally.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDeutz is a sales, service, genuine parts and application engineering center for the Americas, supporting the Deutz product range of 30 - 700 hp diesel and natural gas engines. Located northeast of Atlanta, the company employs more than 125 people covering all aspects of marketing and support.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe GTMI Brown Bag Semina Series takes place each Monday between noon and 1 p.m. in the Manufacturing Research Building, Room 114. Students and faculty are invited and are welcome to bring their lunch to the meeting.
