Rehlko

Rehlko’s new KDI 1903TCR engine packs a big punch in a compact package, delivering 50kW of power and 250Nm of torque with three cylinders.  

“Our  mantra is power density and torque density,” says Massimiliano Bonnani, general manager – product strategy at Rehlko.  

“We wanted to provide a three-cylinder engine capable of this level of power to meet the need of our customer to deliver more productivity within the same machine frame.”

Eric Fontaine joined Rehlko as president of engines in January 2025, not long after the business was rebranded from Kohler.  

“I was impressed with the spirit of innovation and the products we have, together with the high quality of the engines,” says Fontaine of Rehlko.  

“For our products, within the package we provide, we really are best in class, especially around torque and power density.” He also pays tribute to the talent and enthusiasm of the Rehlko engine team.
