The whole vehicle will be produced entirely on the line at Atessa, which Stellantis said marked a “historic moment” for the facility and “a significant step in sustainable commercial vehicle manufacturing”.

The company is investing EUR 600 million to transform the facility into a hub for manufacturing electric and hydrogen-powered buses, including the Heuliez GX Elec, Iveco E-Way and the new E-Way-H2 hydrogen model.

The company is aiming to partner with international CV OEMs in the light, medium and heavy-duty segments by presenting its hydrogen and natural gas products for the transportation sector.

FPT has been supplying the OEM its full Euro VI CV powertrain lineup extending from 4 – 13 litres. Over the 20 years it has supplied TDCV with more than 90,000 engines.

UFI Filters’ new fuel-filter module integrates the filter and the diesel pre-filter in a single package.

The 100,000th engine was an XCURSOR 13 NG, a multi-fuel engine designed for the truck market, providing significant reductions in CO2 emissions and high reliability with an expected lifetime of 1.2 million kilometres.

The new facility located at Phoenix House in Basildon offers a modern and technology-driven workspace designed to support the company's growth.

The company showcased a variety of powertrain systems, including natural gas-powered engines, and electric propulsion (e-propulsion) systems.

During the IAA, Iveco unveiled the S-eWay Rigid, a heavy-duty battery-electric truck with a range of up to 400 km designed for urban and regional transport.

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.

The acquisition is expected to leverage the expertise of the Roberto Nuti Group to enhance SI Airsprings product offerings as well as strengthen its global market position.
