BERNHARD RICHTER-
SCHÜTZENEDER, Director
Sales and Marketing, Hatz
As Hatz had developed and maintained a strong
and advanced product line-up, the period was not
as challenging as it might have been for others. The
biggest challenges were to manage the support of
vendors.
The pre-buy on top of a booming market was
the most challenging as the required volume from
customers was far more than there was available
capacity on the sourcing market.
Of course, our customers would have preferred
to improve the benefits of their machines rather
than to integrate new after-treatment, but thanks
to the compactness of our engines, they had lesser

challenges to integrate the additional after-treatment
in their machines. For example, with our new three-
cylinder models 3H50 which was launched in 2018
we gained a lot of new customers in the 19-37 kW
range which needed a compact engine.
Although Stage 5 kept us busy, we have been
able to develop new products with great customer
benefits in parallel to Stage 5 which we will exhibit
at Bauma 2019 for the first time – the E1 engine
range.
We are expecting a record year in 2019. Thanks
to our well established and new products, we are able
to grow significantly in 2019 although the Stage 5
pre-buy volume is missing in this fiscal year. We do
not expect any impact from the transition period for
the years 2020/2021.
ALAN TOLLEY,
Group Director of Engines, JCB
Stage 5 covers a wide power and application range
and hence affects many machine models. This
has been managed by careful scheduling of the
development and launch activities of each model,
including the provision of any transition engines that
may be required.
New customers have been gained. The
emission changes provide opportunities for both
machine and engine sales as customers look for
suitable solutions. JCB has always maximised this
opportunity and is well placed to provide customer-
focused solutions.
Stage 5 development and release has enabled
additional features for both engines and machine to
advance and brought to market.
2018 was a strong year for the world construction
equipment market. We expect this strength to
continue in 2019.
