JCB’s engine exports have grown over the years.
JCB originally began producing engines in 2004 to power its own machines and today more than 70% of all the company’s products are fitted with the JCB engine. Such has been the success of the engine that other companies around the world now buy it and overseas sales grew by more than 325% between 2012 and 2014.
JCB Power Systems designs and manufactures diesel engines for a range of off highway construction, industrial and agricultural equipment sectors, covering the 55kW – 225kW power category.
External sales have grown rapidly and last year almost a quarter of the engines produced by JCB were for external customers. These engines are working in a wide range of different machines and in environments varying from harsh desert to extreme arctic conditions.
