FPT Industrial, a global powertrain leader, has successfully delivered a Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) vehicle equipped with the reliable and efficient Cursor 9 engine to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. The PCA vehicle plays a crucial role in supporting the airport’s safety infrastructure and ensuring efficient operations.
The PCA vehicle is responsible for ventilating and cooling the electronic equipment compartment and cockpit of aircraft when their engines are not running, as well as cooling down the aircraft’s wheel hubs and brake pads during taxiing. By dissipating heat from electronic components and ensuring optimal performance, the PCA vehicle extends the service life of critical equipment.
FPT Industrial has collaborated closely with its partners to develop and deploy the Cursor 9 engine, which has garnered praise from customers in the airport ground support machines segment since its successful application in 2019. Ürümqi Diwopu International Airport, Nanchang Changbei International Airport, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, and Haikou Meilan International Airport are among the airports benefitting from FPT Industrial’s technical and product advantages.
The Cursor 9 engine, chosen as the power source for the PCA vehicle after rigorous testing, offers exceptional power density and robust capabilities for continuous operation. These engines consistently deliver reliable and outstanding performance in complex working conditions, maximizing the productivity of the air conditioning units.
In addition to their impressive performance, the FPT Cursor 9 engines also contribute to lower operating costs due to reduced fuel consumption and extended oil change intervals. These features provide a solid guarantee for the long-term and stable operation of ground support machinery at airports. Hundreds of similar models powered by FPT Industrial’s engines are already in operation, driving the development of ground support machines across airports.
As a global powertrain leader, FPT Industrial leverages its technical expertise and experience in the powertrain field to offer a wide range of power generation solutions to customers worldwide. The company remains committed to promoting product iteration, improving the reliability and convenience of ground support machines for airports, and contributing to the industry’s overall development in collaboration with its partners.
The successful integration of FPT Industrial’s Cursor 9 engine into the PCA vehicle for Shanghai Pudong International Airport underscores the company’s commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that enhance airport operations, safety, and efficiency. With a focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, FPT Industrial continues to drive advancements in the ground support machinery sector, ensuring the industry’s growth and progress.
