Emissions information
The ultimate in performance, fuel economy, and emissions
compliance is available with John Deere engines. To meet
emissions regulations, John Deere worked closely with
equipment manufacturers to identify engine technologies
that best suited their needs.
John Deere engines comply with nonroad emissions
regulations for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the European Union (EU), and the California Area
Resources Board (CARB).

In series turbocharging, fresh air is drawn into the lowpressure turbocharger (fixed geometry), where air pressure
is boosted. This pressurized or boosted air is then drawn
into the high-pressure turbocharger (VGT), where air intake
pressure is further raised. The high-pressure air is then
routed to a charge air cooler, where the air is cooled and
then routed to the engines intake manifold.
By splitting the compression of the charge air between
two turbochargers, both can operate at peak efficiency
and at slower rotating speeds. This lowers stress on
turbocharger components and improves reliability.
Series turbocharging also delivers higher power
density, improved low-speed torque, and improved
high altitude operation.
