Powertrains can also be customized on demand, enabling manufacturers to accelerate product development while reducing engineering costs. The company’s engineering flexibility ensures smooth engine integration, enabling OEMs to bring new machines to market faster. In addition, all Stage V FPT engines are fully compatible with HVO fuel, while the company also offers natural gas, hybrid, pure-electric, and hydrogen-powered solutions.
FPT also highlighted its long-term strategy for sustainable construction powertrains and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting a cleaner and more efficient construction industry. This aligns with the broader Iveco Group sustainability roadmap, which includes achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, using 100% renewable electricity by 2030, and reducing CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030 compared with 2019 levels.
FPT powertrains are designed as multi-application platforms that can be used across several sectors including construction, infrastructure, agriculture, transportation, power generation, and marine applications. This platform-based approach allows innovations developed in one sector to be rapidly transferred to other industries. All Stage V engines integrate FPT’s patented HI-eSCR2 after-treatment technology, which provides a maintenance-free system for the entire life cycle of the engine. The technology performs passive regeneration without requiring machine downtime, improving productivity and reducing operational complexity. The compact after-treatment system module also enables flexible installation layouts for equipment manufacturers. Furthermore, FPT engines comply with both Tier 4 Final and Stage V emission standards, allowing manufacturers to serve multiple markets without redesigning the engine architecture.
A key highlight was the XCURSOR 13 engine, the industry’s first multi-fuel single-base engine platform. Originally developed for on-highway applications, the engine has been further adapted for off-road equipment and combines high productivity with proven durability. Designed as a plug-and-play solution, the engine can be integrated easily into different machine platforms and is capable of operating on biomethane and hydrogen, enabling net-zero emission operation. It features a displacement of 12.9 liters with an inline six-cylinder configuration; delivers a maximum power output of 500 kW (about 670 hp) at 1700 rpm, and a maximum torque of 2850 Nm at 1300 rpm, with service intervals extending up to 1,200 hours.
FPT also presented the CURSOR 16 SST engine, designed for applications requiring extremely high-power output. The engine delivers a strong power-to-weight ratio that ensures high performance while maintaining fuel efficiency and minimizing operating costs.
Another highlight was the NEF 67 plug-and-play power solution with integrated after-treatment components, where all major emission control elements are pre-assembled within a single compact module. This design eliminates the need for a dedicated exhaust system and simplifies installation for equipment manufacturers. It also offers pre-validated off-the-shelf options that allow equipment manufacturers to achieve flexible installation configurations across different machine platforms.
