Deutz once also produced agricultural machines like combines and tractors as well as commercial vehicles such as lorries and buses. (Deutz sold the agricultural machinery division to Societa Anonima Motori Endotermici (SAME), an Italian company.) The company's head office is located in the Porz district of Cologne and as of 2004 was manufacturing liquid and air-cooled diesel engines. The larger engines in the Deutz range are manufactured in Mannheim. The production facility there in Mannheim once belonged to a company called MWM. Deutz also have production facilities in other countries including Spain and a joint venture production facility in China. After Deutz took over, the plant specialised in marine engines.

Deutz engines are available in the power range 4 to 4000kW, with air, oil or water cooling.


Parts and services are available around the world. In the United States and Canada, a network of distributors was established a few years ago, providing parts and service in North America to support the growing customers throughout all areas.


Deutz-powered commercial vehicles were popular in the years 1960-1980, sold under the brand name Magirus Deutz. Iveco-Magirus fire truck. ...


Deutz powered equipment is being used in North America much more frequently due to the simplicity of their air-cooled designs. The air-cooled engines are well-suited for many applications since they cannot freeze or boil-over during normal operation.


Deutz is also being recognized and sought after for their oil cooled engines, as these can provide the same power as other engines but in a smaller package since they don't require the additional space to house a radiator. Deutz also makes engines with a tandem oil cooler/radiator configuration; these also do not require antifreeze or coolant agents.


Many people do not realize that Deutz also has a very strong line of liquid-cooled engines, which are pleasantly economical. This allows them to be strong competitors on the engine market.


In 2007 the "Deutz Power Systems" brand was sold to 3i, and Deutz now concentrates on producing and selling engines under the Deutz brand only. They are focusing on the manufacturing of engines only for the customer without competing for the entire piece of machinery.
