Transdiesel SL expands into Turkey

The company aims to enable OEMs to optimise their product and get it to market quickly and competitively.

JOHN DEERE POWER Systems (JDPS) distributor Transdiesel SL in Madrid, has expanded into the Turkish market to provide customised application support and fast delivery of engines and spare parts to customers in the region.

“Our new office, Transdiesel SL Turkey, will enable OEMs to get powerful, reliable equipment to market quickly and competitively,” said country manager, Emrah Kucukakca.

Optimising local expertise and proven John Deere experience

Transdiesel SL sells and supports John Deere engines for industrial, generator sets, agricultural and marine applications in Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Mauritania. The newly established Transdiesel office in Istanbul, Turkey will benefit from the John Deere engine technical and application expertise from the corporate office in Spain, while maximising their own experience within the regional engine market.

“Optimisation is our key word,” said Kucukakca. “We tailor our solutions to address customer needs — which may be more economical than originally anticipated. Weekly sea freight deliveries from Spain provide turnkey solutions and quick delivery of current John Deere engine models. Our goal is to help each customer optimise their product and get it to market quickly, and at a competitive price.”

First infield applications

Only five months after the office opened, various John Deerepowered applications are already hard at work. For example, wind machine manufacturer Gener has outfitted its first batch of stationary frost protection fans with 4.5L, 131 kW (175 hp) noncertified John Deere engines. They also have a 4.5L, 105 kW (140 hp) Stage V engine order for a mobile wind machine model in the pipeline. In marine applications, awardwinning yacht builder Ark Yacht has equipped three of its luxury Chronos yachts with John Deere 13.5L, 448 kW (600 hp) engines.

Emrah Kucukakca, country manager, Transdiesel SL Turkey is excited about offering local customers power solutions that enable them to market competitive products.

Full range of engine ratings

Transdiesel SL Spain’s large stock enables the Turkey office to provide industrial engines from 36 to 500+ kW (48 to 670+ hp). The marine engine range includes propulsion, auxiliary and generator drive engines with ratings from 60 to 559 kW (80 to 750 hp). Kucukakca added, “The engines are reliable under tough conditions and built to last. To get the word out, we are organising agricultural and marine events, and in 2022, we will attend our first Eurasian Boat Show in Istanbul.” "We are delighted with the early successes of Kucukakca and his team at Transdiesel SL Turkey and confident that this is the start of a successful future. We look forward to seeing many more applications powered by our engines in Turkey,” concludes Julien Bracquemond, EAME manager for sales & distribution at JDPS. ■
