“Today, the Perkins brand means better productivity, through robust reliability and improved uptime and economical performance,” said global OEM sales director Andy Curtis. “We design our engines to last thousands and thousands of hours. The large population of older tractors continuing to run our engines is testament to the reliability we build into the products.”

Our long-standing focus and dedication to agriculture gives us a unique understanding of customers’ current and future needs.
“Over many years of working closely with agricultural businesses, we’ve developed a deep understanding of the requirements of the market,” said Andy. “We understand what end users want from their machine and that, ultimately, they need their machine to make them money.
“By understanding their needs, we’re able to design reliability and efficiency – the way our customers want it – into every product.”

“From 0.5 litre to 18 litre (8.2-597 kW), Perkins has the most comprehensive range of engines for use in agricultural applications. Our engines are continually developed to meet the changing needs of global agricultural customers, whatever the emissions standards,” he said.

“Our global footprint of manufacturing facilities and distributors means that wherever you are in the world, we’re there already. This offers customers the benefit of local support and local lead times through a local supply network. So no matter where a customer builds their machine – and operates it – vastly experienced teams, who will understand your installation inside out, are always close by.
“Choosing Perkins also means you get the same exacting quality standards wherever your engine comes off the production line. Every factory, from Peterborough to Aurangabad, follows the same strict process, so customers get the same quality and reliability built-in.”
