Deutz bucks the trend despite making fewer engines
During this period, new orders increased by 30.7% to €1,034.1 million and revenue rose by 15.0% to €1,007.1 million, giving an EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) margin of 4.7%.
Deutz believes that it is reaping the rewards of its attempts to build its resilience with a broader base and notes that this increase in revenue comes despite economic uncertainties and geopolitical challenges.
The company claims that the integration of new lines of business and a rigorous implementation of its cost-cutting programme is enhancing its long-term competitiveness.
There have also been several acquisitions, including the genset manufacturer Blue Star Power Systems along with the integration of selected Daimler Truck engines from Rolls-Royce.
Further growth through acquisitions is planned for the future.
Another bright spot for Deutz was that the higher margin service business increased its income by 8.7% to €274.9 million in the first half of 2025.
Deutz is basing its predictions for 2025 as a whole on a continuing but modest recovery, and is anticipating the total revenue for the year as being between €2.1 billion and €2.3 billion.
Deutz engines are popular when it comes to materials handling, the Claas Scorpion range has them as power plants
Thanks to its broader positioning, the Deutz Group's new orders surged by 30.7% compared with the first six months of 2024 to stand at €1,034.1 million. Orders on hand stood at €490.9 million as at June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024: €365.9 million).
Emerging from the results presented by Deutz is that despite the increase in revenue, the number of engines sold actually decreased by 9.1% to 67,440 units.
This countervailing trend was attributed to higher average prices per unit, due to a shift in the product portfolio.
The company said the revenue contribution of HJS Emission Technology, which was acquired in June, also had a positive impact.

Two standout Merlo machines on view at Tullamore Show
At this year's Tullamore Show on Sunday, August 10, visitors to the FJS Plant stand - Merlo's official dealer in the area for both agriculture and construction - can look forward to seeing two standout machines: the Merlo TF33.7 and the ROTO50.26. Designed with modern farming in mind, the TF33.7 delivers a 3.3t lift capacity and 7m lift height, offering the ideal balance of strength, size, and agility for mixed and livestock farms. Powered by a 115hp Deutz Stage V engine and featuring Merlo's trusted hydrostatic transmission, it handles daily agricultural tasks with ease - from stacking bales to mucking out and yard work. Its compact footprint, roomy cab, and smooth controls ensure comfort and precision all day long. From the manufacturer's construction line-up comes the Roto 50.26. A true workhorse for high-reach and multi-directional lifting, the ROTO 50.26 S Plus delivers a 5t capacity and 26m lift height with full 360° turret rotation. Powered by a robust 170hp Stage V FPT engine, it combines precision and performance with safety-first features including automatic stabilisers, a unique tilting cab for improved visibility at height, and dual hydraulic circuits for simultaneous movements. Ideal for infrastructure, steel erection, and urban construction, it offers versatility where space is limited but capability cannot be compromised. See these Merlo telehandlers for yourself on the FJS Plant Stand E232–238 – look for the green booms! To find your local Merlo dealer, visit their website.

Kramer: From mowers to loaders in 100 years
The tie-in between John Deere and Kramer brought the loader manufacturer more fully to the attention of many in Ireland as, although Kramer was available here, it did not have the marketing power that John Deere possess. Yet little is known about the origins of the company over here other than it is German and it specialises in telescopic loaders. Kramer dates all the way back to 1918 and three brothers, Emil, Hans and Karl Kramer, who established a machinery business at Gutmadingen on the River Danube. The first mower they built was powered by a 4hp motorcycle engine and, despite mixed reviews when first put on the market in 1925, the machine sold 33 units. There is some vagueness as to how the mower was powered, with some sources noting that it was horse-drawn while others suggest that it was self-propelled. Kramer's first self-propelled machine had a 4.5hp engine However, there is a general consensus that this year marks the centenary of mower production proper and an improved version appeared at a local show in 1928. The Kramer brothers never built their own engines, so this first model used a Güldner unit, starting a long relationship with the company that lasted until the 1960s. More powerful tractors began to appear in the mid-1930s, which followed the continental pattern of a separate frame with engine and cylinders arranged horizontally. This K18 model from 1937 demonstrates how rapidly the company developed its product line. Source: Stefan Krause Following the war, Kramer continued to build this form of tractor but the K25 of 1943 saw the company start moving towards using the engine block as the frame. Two distinct model ranges also emerged during the 1950s: the KW machines were powered mainly by water-cooled Güldner engines while the KL models had a Deutz air-cooled unit fitted. On a few models, a larger MWM engine was employed and when Güldner stopped producing engines they went so far as to use Standard Motor diesels, as found in the Ferguson TE20. Towards the end of the 1960s, the tractor range was given its final facelift. Out went the round, slim, 'kidney' bonnets from the 1950s and in came a much more modern square-shaped machine. This Kramer Allrad KL950 from 1970 offered 55hp and was one of the later tractors the company built 'Allrad', in German, means 'all wheel drive' and for a while Kramer enjoyed some success with their 4X4 tractors during the hectic years of the 1960s. But by 1973, it was all over for their conventional tractor range. However, Kramer had developed a radical four-wheel-steer tractor, known as the 'Two Way', which as its name suggests was completely reversible and built with a similar layout to the Deutz Intrac and MB Trac. This stayed in production until 1980. Another new development took place in 1968 when Kramer introduced Germany's first four-wheel-drive loader. The market for tractors was shrinking and so it turned to the construction sector as the best way forward, settling on material handling as the most promising sector. The loading shovel became Kramer's main line of business in the 1970s. This 312 model dates from 1978 and is powered by a 48hp Deutz engine. Eventually the loader was combined with the four-wheel-steer tractor system in 1987 to produce the basis of the range we see today. The company also underwent a series of mergers, first with the Austrian company Neuson and then with Wacker AG. The KL55.8T retains the connection with Deutz, being powered by a 136hp engine from the company The latest deal with John Deere sees the American company take a 5% equity stake in Kramer, granting it certain distribution rights, but the machines will remain in Kramer colours. With nearly 60 years' experience of building loaders, Kramer has settled on the rigid rather than articulated frame as a design fundamental, due to its inherent safety. This frame continues to sell to what has become a very competitive market.
