The Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production and sale of low-environmental impact powertrains, and a leader in industrial applications, will be showing off products in both the internal combustion engines (ICE) and ePowertrain segments, in keeping with its multi-energy strategy.

Visitors to FPT Industrial’s stand in Bologna (Hall 15 Stand C/16) will be able to see compact yet powerful engines for specialized equipment, natural gas-fueled solutions for a smooth energy transition, new industrial power units and ePowertrain products extending the scope of electricity in modern farming.

“We are carbon neutral here”: Paving the way for a more sustainable future

Confirming its strong commitment to new and sustainable practices in the transport industry, FPT Industrial is proudly attending EIMA with a carbon-neutral booth, like with all the global events it has exhibited at in 2024. This ambitious result involves every step of the booth production and requires a life cycle assessment (LCA). First of all, the booth is built using modular and reusable structures with eco-friendly materials and furnishings. During the event, everything is optimized, from transport of materials to use of recyclable equipment. At the end of the trade show, when reusable parts are dismantled and recovered, transport is optimized once again, and the recycled and non-reusable materials are handled correctly. Then, after a final assessment of the total impacts, FPT Industrial offsets the residual emissions by purchasing certified carbon credits in order to achieve the target of carbon neutrality.

ICE product range — Multi-energy engines and industrial power units for a wide range of applications

FPT Industrial is continuing to invest in a multi-energy approach to meet customer needs, with progressively sustainable solutions in the agricultural field too, whose applications often require a low environmental impact and emissions. Being at the forefront of technology, FPT Industrial’s engines can adopt variable-geometry and two-stage turbochargers, high-pressure common rail injection, patented after-treatment systems and more, depending on the requirements of the mission.

F28 — Ultra-compact footprint and optimized layout

Awarded the title of Diesel of The Year 2020 and already adopted by the leading brands of specialized orchard and vineyard tractors, the F28 Stage V is a one-engine solution that meets the needs of both space and performance-driven applications. A real enabler in terms of packaging and streamlining, it delivers 3.4 l performance with a displacement of just 2 l.

The F28 is designed to be multi-fuel, and features a modular architecture — it can run on diesel and natural gas, and it is suitable for hybrid applications — providing the best performance in all working conditions and ensuring maximum installation flexibility.

This compact and versatile engine delivers top performance in the 55 kW category: high low-end torque (300 Nm at 1,000 rpm; +23% versus competitors) and maximum torque 26% higher than the competitor average (375 Nm at 1,400 rpm). A specific high-performance version designed for 75 kW (100 hp)/415 Nm is also available, enabling installation synergies across vehicle platforms.

Its built-in versatility is firmly based on a pre-validated approach, covering outputs from 37 kW to 75 kW, with a wide set of off-the-shelf options such as pre-installed ATS, different filter positioning, flywheel housing, oil pan and alternators, all focused on simplifying installation work.

The most compact after-treatment system in the category allows for simple cross-region installation and layout entirely underneath the hood. One-side serviceability and a 600-hour oil change interval provide ease of maintenance and reduced operating costs.

N45 — Reliability proven two million times, and still going

With more than 2 million units manufactured since 2001 for a number of applications, the NEF series is designed for the most demanding agricultural equipment missions and stands out for its proven robustness and durability.

With excellent performance in terms of both power and torque, fuel efficiency and reliability, the NEF series means flexibility, featuring 4 (N45) and 6 (N67) cylinder configurations, with either structural or non-structural design and a wide range of options to customize the solution according to the customers’ needs. Thanks to FPT Industrial’s pioneering exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)-free combustion and exclusive, patented HI-eSCR2 after-treatment technology, the NEF series represents the productivity benchmark for mid-range applications, with further enhancements in performance and efficiency with Stage V engines.

Both N45 engines and the Hi-eSCR2 system for Stage V compliance are offered in a compact and lightweight design to reduce packaging and facilitate installation on the vehicle, with a wide range of after-treatment layouts for customized solutions. EGR-free technology reduces cooling power needs, further simplifying installation for OEMs with the same cooling requirements across all emission stages.

The N45 on display in Bologna has been redesigned for increased performance with the same engine displacement, with EGR-free combustion maximizing power, torque and transient responsiveness, as well as reducing fuel consumption.

ePowertrain products — Energy storage and battery management systems for green energy mobility

Fulfilling its commitment to high-performance and reliable zero-emissions solutions, FPT Industrial’s product portfolio includes advanced energy storage solutions and battery management systems, designed for a wide range of commercial vehicle applications, as well as an ePropulsion line-up, which covers applications from 3.5 tons to 49 tons gross vehicle weight.

Fitting into FPT Industrial’s strong commitment to reducing environmental footprints, the ePowertrain products are manufactured in the carbon-neutral ePowertrain plant located in Turin, inaugurated in October 2022.

FPT Industrial’s energy storage line up is able to cope with the wide range of off-road operations involved in modern agriculture, where demand for electrified products is still growing.

eBS 42 — A key player for zero-emissions agriculture

FPT Industrial’s 42 kWh eBS 42 battery pack is an advanced energy storage solution, combining class leading energy density (greater than 170 Wh/kg), outstanding stability and fast charging times and discharge rates; making use of NMC technology (lithium nickel cobalt manganese), the eBS 42 is a modular and highly flexible solution that can be installed on a variety of agricultural and construction equipment, thanks to the possibility of multipack solutions.

The top quality and reliability of the eBS 42 battery pack has been chosen by CASE for the 580 EV, the industry’s first electric backhoe loader. Designed to deliver up to eight hours of operational run time on a single charge, depending on the application, this new electric backhoe loader carries over the same dimensional loading and digging specifications and delivers the same breakout forces as the CASE 580SN diesel model.
