With the upcoming IAA Transportation event in Hanover, Germany (September 17-22), just around the corner, a company that is hoping to make a splash is Italian powertrain manufacturer, FPT Industrial (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Iveco Group).

FPT will emphasise its advancements in sustainable transportation technologies, focusing on low-emission and zero-emission solutions. The company will showcase a variety of powertrain systems, including natural gas-powered engines, and electric propulsion (e-propulsion) systems.

Using biomethane in its gas engine, CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 95% compared with current diesel engines, FPT Industrial states.

FPT has appointed Rotator Oy as an authorised distributor of its full range of engines in Finland. Headquartered in Pirkkala, Rotator Oy is a machine import and after-sales company offering product sales, spare parts, technical support and maintenance services to the Finnish market.

There was plenty to report from the 2024 edition of the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo held at the Las Vegas Convention Center between May 20-23.

The factory produces ICE powertrains for both off-road and on-road vehicles, including the Cursor 9, 10, 11 and 13 heavy-duty engines primarily for the South American market.

With an increasing focus on battery packs, electric powertrains and battery management systems for electric Commercial Vehicles (CVs), the firm has active plans to expand its customer base amongst global CV manufacturers.

For the very first time, Iveco is renewing its entire truck product line next year. Capital spending on R&D will be ploughed into reducing CO2 emissions, developing fuel efficiency (for ICE vehicles) technology and a new zero-emissions product range.
