Kukje building small engines for Deutz

[ptsg]

Just found this article where Deutz entered a long-term agreement with Kukje to produce the D1.2 and D1.7 engines for Deutz, being 1.2L and 1.7L respectively.

This a very nice vote of confidence on Kukje by Deutz. It's nice to see that big brands like Cummins and Deutz have trust in them to make their engines.

I do believe those engines will be for power units ect… Deutz said it was cheaper to buy an engine of that size, rather than design/build one.

I also they are working on a agreement for TYM to rebadge compacts to Deutz, so that's probably part of the decision too.

Found out later that Bad Boy mowers will now have a SCUT and CUT line made by Kukje as well.
