Over 50 key independent dealer and distributor customers recently attended Kubota UK’s 2017 Engines Conference, held at Mercedes Benz World, home of the famous Brooklands racing circuit in Surrey.

The conference, entitled ‘Kubota - The Answer’, gave Kubota UK’s Engines Division the opportunity to share its future vision and the plans that the manufacturer of industrial diesel and dual fuel engines has put in place to surpass Stage V emissions standards, due to come into force in 2019/20.



Delegates learnt more about Kubota Corporation’s commitment to being a global major brand at the conference and gained a deeper understanding of Kubota’s drive to be a great company to do business with through its ‘Customer First’ strategy.

Thirteen countries from around the globe were represented at the event, highlighting the investment and dedication Kubota UK places on its dealer and distributor network and the significant value of its “One -Team” working partnership approach.

Daniel Grant, Kubota UK’s Business Development Manager - Engines, said: “Stage V engine emission regulation is one of the biggest challenges facing the industry. ‘Kubota - The Answer’, our key theme for this year’s conference, was all about communicating Kubota Corporation’s global position on Stage V and how we can support our dealer and distributor customers on a local level."

At the conference, Kubota showcased a host of new Stage V ready engine solutions, including its new 5.0 litre capacity V5009 engine model. The new 09 Series, with mass production starting in 2020, pushes Kubota into the 200hp class for the first time – opening up new markets for the company to target.

Dave Roberts, Managing Director of Kubota UK, commented: “This was a fantastic opportunity to share our strategy and future vision with our key distributor and dealer customers, so on behalf of everyone at Kubota UK, I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone that attended and we look forward to working hand in hand together to achieve continued success.”
