Ventico Australia: Breathe easy with the world’s cleanest EX diesel engine system
The Ventico C4.4/1104 Explosion-Protected Diesel Engine System (DES) sets the benchmark for clean, reliable underground diesel power. Built on the trusted Caterpillar C4.4 / Perkins 1104C-44TA platform, this engine package delivers up to 95 kW of output while meeting the most demanding safety and emissions standards for underground coal mining.
Engineered with Ventico’s SEMS engine management system, the package provides IECEx-certified shutdown control, fault monitoring, and operational safety. The SEMS system also automatically data logs engine activity, shutdown events, and sensor history — giving mine operators vital traceability, diagnostics, and compliance reporting at their fingertips.
At its core is a patented Catalysed Diesel Particulate Filter (CDPF) — a fully passive system that eliminates diesel particulate matter (DPM) without active regeneration, significantly improving underground air quality.
Designed for compatibility with SMV man transporters, PJB carriers, and featured as the core power plant in the Ventico Drover personnel carrier, this package ensures performance, compliance, and flexibility across underground applications.
