In its more than 140 year history, the family owned company Motorenfabrik Hatz has transformed from a manufacturer of high-quality, compact diesel engines into a technology company. Alternative drives, sustainability and digital solutions for machine operators are just as much a part of the product range from the Ruhstorf company as the traditional diesel engines.

Hatz is a global acting and independent specialist for single- to four-cylinder diesel engines. The diesel engines are used in all areas of application, such as construction equipment, compressors, commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, generator sets, and trucks as well as ships. Hatz develops and manufactures diesel engines in the power range from 1.5 to 56 kilowatts. The global service network includes more than 500 service centres, 13 sales branches and 114 Hatz distributors in over 120 countries. Being so close to customers, a rapid supply of products and spare parts and a quick response time can be ensured.

Motorenfabrik Hatz is organized into four divisions: Superior Diesel Power - Hatz Diesel Engines, Lifetime Companion - After Sales & Service, DigitalExpand - Hatz Digital Digital Solutions and New Technologies.

Superior Diesel Power - Hatz Diesel Engines

The product portfolio of the business field Hatz Diesel ranges from small and compact single-cylinder diesel engines with 1.5 kilowatts up to four-cylinder engines with 56 kilowatts of power. In addition to a compact design of the single-cylinder engines Hatz is known for the reliability and durability of its products. All engines are manufactured according to customer specification. Furthermore all engines are certified in the EU (Stage V) and the US (EPA Tier 4 final).
There are three different engine series available

• B-series:
  air-cooled single cylinder diesel engines with horizontal or vertical crankshaft, power range from 1.5 till 7.6 kilowatts
• D-series:
  air-cooled single cylinder diesel engines with horizontal or vertical crankshaft, power range from 7.3 till 11.2 kilowatts
• H-series:
  liquid cooled three- and four-cylinder engines with Bosch Common-Rail-System, power range from 18.4 to 56 kilowatts

 Lifetime Companion - After Sales & Service

With more than 500 trained and certified service centers, Hatz is offering services customers world-wide. We are working on the philosophy of supporting our products for a lifetime as they last for a lifetime. Besides the quick available genuine parts, the digital service portal DSP and the Hatz Academy, we are also offering benchmark diagnositic tools HDS² (Service Professionals Tool) and HDS²Lite (Connecing the engine via Bluetooth to the SmartPhone) for quick and precise diagnostic and service of our engines.

 DigitalExpand - Hatz Digital Solutions

Hatz is expanding its digital offering. With Performance Tracking, the technology company has launched the first product of Hatz Digital Solutions. Performance Tracking monitors the condition and maximizes the productivity of compact construction machinery and equipment.

Performance Tracking visualizes the operating data of the engine to monitor the condition and productivity of machines, support with optimization of dispatching, localize missing equipment and optimize maintenance planning. The latter effectively reduces downtime on the construction site. The Hatz IoT dashboard provides the engine data clearly and intuitively. Thanks to the license range, machine operators can find the right software package for every need.

 New Technologies

Hatz is transforming itself into a technology company, reaching far beyond the production of high quality diesel engines. The long-established Lower Bavarian company is combining the expertise from its mechanical engineering skills and recently acquired know-how from the electrification and automation sector in an innovative modular e-drive system. Hatz follows the purpose-design approach when it comes to realizing electric drive systems. This focuses on utilising all of the options of the drive technology selected for the machine. The machine is comprehensively rethought from the bottom up. In this way, functions and added value can be realised that would be impossible through a conventional exchange of the drive technology, for example, the substitution of a combustion engine by an electric motor.
