FPT Industrial at EIMA International 2022 – new power options and more solutions for efficient and sustainable agriculture.

November 2022 – From 9 to 13 November, FPT Industrial attended EIMA International 2022, one of the leading European trade fairs for agricultural equipment. Sustainability, efficiency and alternative propulsion solutions are the main themes of the Brand s presence at BolognaFiere (Bologna, Italy).

 Through an extended offering of Stage V engines and PowerPacks, biomethane and hybrid powertrains, plus new off-road battery packs, FPT Industrial is providing agricultural equipment manufacturers with a complete choice to power machines of every size with the best energy mix solutions.

 The F28 Hybrid exemplifies FPT Industrial s commitment to low-emission solutions in the agricultural equipment sector.

 Unveiled at Agritechnica in 2019, the hybrid powertrain harnesses a diesel engine paired with an e-flywheel, combining high performance and low fuel consumption in a compact packaging.

The in-line four-cylinder engine delivers a maximum power of 75 hp, while the electric motor adds 27 hp of continuous power and 40 hp of peak power. Its integrated layout allows for plug & play replacement of larger diesel versions. The F28 Hybrid is the best solution for an effective use of agricultural e-implements, guaranteeing improved efficiency thanks to engine downsizing and optimized operating points. Thanks to decoupling and improved implement efficiency, a 15 percent to 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption can be achieved, depending on the e-implement technology.

 The F28 Hybrid is conceived with a modular approach with current 48 V P1 configuration, suitable for electric power up to 20 kW, scalable to high voltage P2 layout that would enable higher power output and plug-in solutions for zero-emissions operations (indoor/stable/greenhouse activities).

 Other highlights include:

·         A new version of the Diesel of The Year 2020 is the F28 PowerPack that completes FPT Industrial Power Units offering for industrial applications.

·         Together with the F28 PowerPack, the F36 PowerPack Stage V is part of FPT Industrial s comprehensive Power Units offering.

·         The heart of the  Sustainable Tractor of the Year 2022  – New Holland s T6.180 Methane Power – the N67 Natural Gas is the ultimate clean-energy solution specifically designed for open-field tractors.

·         All FPT pre-assembled solutions are suitable not only for agriculture customers but also for industrial and power Generation applications.
