September 1, 2024. FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production and sale of low-environmental impact powertrains, is celebrating an impressive milestone: the production of its 100,000th natural gas (NG) engine. This landmark achievement took place at the brand’s state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Bourbon-Lancy, France, home of its large engine manufacturing operations.
The 100,000th NG engine is an XCURSOR 13 NG model for the truck market. This multi-fuel, single-base engine offers best-in-class power, torque and braking power. Moreover, the XCURSOR 13 NG (launched in 2024) offers an 8% reduction in CO2 emissions over the previous-generation 13-liter engine, alongside high reliability and a lifetime of up to 1,200,000 km. The engine was developed using the WPI (Workplace Integration) approach to ensure a product of the highest quality. Since the introduction of the Cursor NG family in 2004, the plant has produced over 45,000 engines (8-9-13-liter models).
Natural Gas is one of several alternative propulsion technologies available from FPT Industrial. This eco-friendly fuel reduces pollutants to provide a significant improvement in air quality, while mitigating global warming with its reduced CO2 emissions. Complementing these eco-benefits are the incredibly effective noise reduction and impressive fuel economy associated with multipoint stoichiometric combustion technology.
FPT Industrial today offers the widest NG engine range available on the market, providing solutions from 136 to 520 hp for light, medium and heavy vehicles in the on-road segment, and from 100 to 266 hp for off-road machinery.
