Absolutely powerful. The engine.

High-performance and fuel-efficient.
Beneath the one-piece bonnet of the XERION is a high-performance, 12.5 litre, six-cylinder Perkins 2206D‑E13TA engine with charge-air cooling.
The engine meets emissions standard Stage IIIA (Tier 3) and is renowned for its performance, economy and reliability.

New engine air intake system.
Air is drawn into the engine via a coarse dirt separator though a grille in the bonnet. The coarse dirt particles are constantly discharged via a conduit running from the dirt separator to the engine cooling fan under the existing negative pressure.
The pretreated engine air subsequently reaches the air filter where it is further purified by the engine air filter.

The onboard voltage network of the XERION is powered by a 24 V system. This guarantees reliability and protects the engine when cold-starting at low temperatures.

Hydraulic fan with reverse function.
The XERION can be equipped with a hydraulically variable fan with reverse function.
The fan rotation speed and the angle of the fan blades are adjusted automatically in line with engine temperature via the hydraulic drive system. This ensures that the fan only operates at full power when absolutely necessary, effectively saving on engine output and fuel consumption.
The fan can be cleaned at any time by pushing a button in the cab.
The benefits for you:
- Reduced power and fuel consumption
- Less maintenance
- Optimal fan output at any time
- No need to leave the cab to clean
