FPT Industrial, the renowned brand within the Iveco Group, specializing in environmentally-friendly powertrains, is set to showcase its extensive range of agricultural powertrains and groundbreaking innovations at AGRITECHNICA 2023, the world’s premier agricultural machinery trade fair. The event takes place in Hanover, Germany, from November 12 to 18, 2023, with FPT Industrial located in Hall 15, Stand J07.
As a significant player in the agricultural powertrain sector, FPT Industrial boasts a comprehensive portfolio that caters to all applications, continuous pioneering innovations, and an annual global production of over 100,000 agricultural engines.
Recognizing the evolving needs of 21st-century farmers who must balance productivity with sustainability, FPT Industrial is reinforcing its commitment to enhancing internal combustion diesel engines. Simultaneously, it is introducing sustainable fuels such as hydrogen and biomethane, while pushing the boundaries of zero-emission electric powertrains and hybrid solutions.
A highlight of the showcased products is the new FPT Industrial XC13, the first multi-fuel single-base engine, set to premiere its hydrogen version. Designed with a common core that is optimized for multiple fuels, from diesel and natural gas (including biomethane) to hydrogen and renewable fuels, the XC13 offers maximum component standardization and seamless integration into final products.
Given the growing interest in electrified solutions in the agricultural sector, FPT Industrial presents advanced battery packs that are specialized energy-storage solutions for zero-emission agricultural equipment, boasting best-in-class energy density for top performance.
The F28, a compact yet powerful engine, is presented in its Hybrid version. This configuration pairs a diesel engine with an e-flywheel, delivering high performance and fuel efficiency. The in-line four-cylinder engine provides a maximum power of 75 hp, with an additional 27 hp of continuous power and 40 hp of peak power from the electric motor. Its integrated layout allows for plug-and-play replacement of larger diesel versions.
The F36 PowerPack Stage V is a robust solution for stationary and semi-stationary applications. The compact ATS pack, including the urea injection system and all necessary sensors and manifolds, eliminates the need for a dedicated exhaust system. With various options, such as alternators, starters, water and air preheating, and different urea tank sizes, it offers flexibility for customer installations.
Part of the successful NEF engine family, the N45, now available in the 147kW version, offers robust, reliable, and versatile power. It caters to diverse agricultural needs and is compatible with various off-road machinery. Notable for its efficiency, EGR-free design, and maintenance-free ATS layout, the N45 provides industry-leading service intervals of up to 1,200 hours.
The N67 Natural Gas is a clean-energy solution tailored for open-field tractors. Delivering performance equivalent to its diesel counterpart in terms of power, torque, and durability, the N67 NG ensures diesel-like drivability while significantly reducing the carbon footprint of agricultural operations when using biomethane. It enables circular ecosystems in agriculture and is the heart of New Holland’s “Sustainable Tractor of the Year 2022” – the T6.180 Methane Power.
