FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production and sale of low-environmental impact powertrains, goes back to northern Germany to attend SMM 2024, the world’s leading trade fair and conference event for the maritime industry, held from September 3 to September 6 at the Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH, in Hamburg.

Capitalizing on its very successful debut as an independent exhibitor in 2022, FPT Industrial focuses its exhibition (Hall A3 – Stand 209) on its fixed speed G-drive engines line up, including the launch of the brand new C16 fixed speed auxiliary for G-drive use for IMO Tier 2, EPA Tier 3, China GB2 markets. The N67 G-Drive 129 kW Stage V and C90 G-Drive engines, also for other auxiliary uses, complete the show.

G-Drive marine — Power, reliability and sustainability come on board

The FPT Industrial marine fixed speed G-Drive range offers a reliable set of solutions for on-board power generators to power and satisfy hotel loads for pleasure and commercial applications. Available from 4.5 l to 16 l of displacement and in 50 Hz and 60 Hz versions, fixed speed G-Drive engines have been developed to act in synergy with the FPT Industrial Marine propulsion line-up, with power ratings for continuative use capable of a 10% power overload, according to ISO 8528 prime power.

The rich list of available options allows meeting the most different needs, including fuel pump actuators (GAC) for mechanical engines and the electronic speed controller devices for both mechanical and electronic engines.

New C16 fixed speed auxiliary for G-drive use for IMO Tier 2, EPA Tier 3, China GB2 markets — A new development based on C16 600 propulsion engine

The new C16 fixed speed auxiliary for G-drive use for IMO Tier 2, EPA Tier 3, China GB2 markets delivers the same performance of the propulsion engine version and provides abundant, reliable energy to larger pleasure and commercial boats. Consistent with its Cursor family heritage, the G-drive model debuting in Hamburg provides 16 l durability with a 13-l compactness and lightness, extreme robustness and reliability, and for maximized productivity.

Suitable for onboard generators of 390 KVA 50 Hz and 470 KVA 60 Hz, or fixed speed diesel-electric applications. Prime power ratings 331 kWm at 1,500 rpm and 397 kWm at 1,800 rpm are suitable for continuous use, with a 10% overload capability according to ISO 8528. The main options are the new block heater for uses below -10° C (14° F), the speed controller, the RINA kit and the front PTO.
Heat exchanger and keel cooling versions are available, the installation is on four points, while maintenance intervals are at 600 hours.

N67 G-Drive Marine — The compact and cost-effective solution

The NEF series is the widest among FPT Industrial engine families for pleasure and professional marine duties, with four different displacements available in mechanical and electronic version. Fixed speed G-Drive range NEF engines are characterized both by advanced mechanical fuel injection and electronic common rail systems, providing high reliability, minimum fuel consumption and up to 600 hours service intervals.
Options include block heater, electronic speed control, PTO and compliance to Class homologation as RINA.

Innovative technologies and production processes allow NEF engines to save fuel while ensuring maximum performance and reliability. To reduce maintenance and increase engine lifespan, both mechanical and common rail engines adopt plateau-machined cylinder walls and oil-cooled pistons. In Hamburg, the N67 Marine auxiliary debuts with its new Stage V certification for 129 kW at 1,500 rpm without the need for an ATS, suitable for onboard generators (150 KVA 50 Hz/60 Hz), diesel-electric and other auxiliary use such as pumps, further widening its field of application to vessels operating in inland waterways, such as rivers, channels and lakes.

C9 410 G-Drive Marine — High power and torque density coupled to low fuel consumption and TCO

Fixed speed G-Drive range Cursor electronic common rail engines are characterized by easy maintenance, extreme efficiency, structural stiffness and low vibration and noise, with Cursor state-of-the-art technologies guaranteeing high reliability and great performances.

The 8.7-l C9 G-Drive Marine engine covers a power range from 192 kWm to 276 kWm in prime power rating developed for unrestricted use and capable for a 10% overload according to ISO 8528, together with low fuel consumption and contained environmental impact. This engine is suitable for onboard generators up to 270 KVA 50 Hz and 325 KVA 60 Hz. Advanced diagnostic equipment allows easier engine servicing, while up to 600 hours oil and filters replacement intervals minimize downtime.

In order to make installation easier, the oil cooler, oil pump and water pump have been integrated into the engine design, while the blow-by circuit is external to facilitate the maintenance. Options include exhaust systems, electronic speed control, PTO and compliance to Class homologation as RINA.
