AGCO Power is proud to introduce the new CORE80 engine, which was officially revealed on the first day of the Bauma trade fair in Germany, Monday 7th of April. The CORE80 is the third member in AGCO Power’s CORE engine family, and the first vehicle equipped with the CORE80 engine will enter mass production at the end of 2025.
AGCO Power’s Director of Engineering Kari Aaltonen describes the new CORE engine as follows: “The 8-liter CORE80 completes the current CORE engine family and compliments the existing 5-liter CORE50 and the 7,5-liter CORE75 in the higher power range with multiple technological innovations. We are very proud of this engine.”
Key Features of the CORE80 Engine:
- Maximum power: 252 kW @ 1500-1700 RPM
- Maximum torque: 1680 Nm @ 1200-1400 RPM
- Displacement: 8 litres
- Turbocharger: Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT)
- Fuel Efficiency: Exceptionally good fuel efficiency across a wide RPM range and power demands
- Compatibility: Easy to fit into various off-road machinery due to its compact size
- Braking Power:With VGT CORE80 provides up to 90 kW of braking power
- Fuel: Operates on HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) fuel and traditional diesel
The Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) offers several advantages over traditional turbocharging technologies. VGT allows the engine to achieve improved low-end torque and reduces turbo lag. Additionally, VGT enables maximum torque and power across the entire RPM range, enhancing engine performance under heavy loads. VGT also regulates airflow more precisely, leading to cleaner combustion and a more environmentally friendly engine.
In addition to the engine braking capability, the CORE80 is the first AGCO Power engine to offer over-the-air (OTA) connectivity to its engine control unit, enabling remote diagnostics, effortless monitoring and simpler updates. This improves reliability and makes fleet management easier.
The CORE80 engine represents AGCO Power’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. Its design considers both performance and environmental friendliness, making it an ideal choice for modern construction and agricultural machinery.
