FPT, a brand of Iveco Group, is showcasing its latest hybrid engines, industrial power units and alternative-fuel technologies at EIMA International 2026, held from 10 to 14 November at BolognaFiere in Bologna, Italy. The exhibition highlights the company's commitment to delivering efficient, reliable and sustainable power solutions for agricultural machinery manufacturers and farmers worldwide.
Under its ‘Power You Trust’ philosophy, FPT is presenting a portfolio covering agricultural vehicles, power generation applications and aftermarket services. The display includes the third-generation F28 Hybrid, CURSOR 13 G-Drive, N45 Industrial Power Unit and F36 engine, alongside an innovative biodiesel conversion prototype.
“Agriculture is changing at an unprecedented pace. To keep up with the times and be ready for what is to come, we need – particularly in the engine sector – future-proof technologies that are easy to install and use. With our presence at EIMA we want to reiterate that we are ready and always by our customers’ side, supporting them across every application and field of operation,” said Simone Curti, FPT Brand President.
“EIMA is not only one of the most important agricultural fairs in the world, it is in a certain sense our ‘home’ exhibition, and it is also my first time as Brand President. You can therefore be sure that we will be giving everything to win customers’ trust,” Curti added.
A major attraction is the third-generation F28 Hybrid, designed to replace larger engines with a compact, high-performance hybrid solution. Its integrated electric motor and 700 V high-voltage architecture support series and parallel configurations, enabling flexible power delivery for agricultural equipment.
The 2.8-litre, four-cylinder engine produces 75 kW at 2,300 rpm and maximum torque of 415 Nm at 1,600 rpm. The hybrid system delivers continuous power of up to 147 kW in parallel configuration and peak power of 170 kW. Compatible with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), the engine is designed for compact tractors, utility tractors and telehandlers, enabling easier integration with existing machinery.
FPT is also displaying the upgraded CURSOR 13 G-Drive, developed for heavy-duty power generation in demanding operating environments. Featuring a 12.9-litre, six-cylinder engine, electronic common rail injection and an advanced cooling system, the unit provides standby power ranging from 330 to 482 kWm at 1,500 rpm.
The engine offers 50/60 Hz frequency switching and 600-hour service intervals, reducing maintenance requirements and supporting operational efficiency. FPT highlighted that a racing adaptation of the CURSOR 13 engine powered the winning vehicle at the 2026 Dakar Rally, demonstrating its durability under extreme conditions.
Another highlight is the N45 Stage V Industrial Power Unit, featuring a 4.5-litre turbocharged engine delivering 125 kW at 2,200 rpm and maximum torque of 712 Nm at 1,500 rpm. Equipped with common rail injection, HI-eSCR2 after-treatment technology and a pre-assembled cooling system, the unit is designed for simplified equipment integration and reduced operating costs.
Alongside the N45, FPT is presenting a prototype Biodiesel Conversion Kit developed to enable engines to operate on B100 biodiesel. The system addresses challenges associated with pure biodiesel, including oxidation, moisture absorption and fuel degradation. It incorporates automatic diesel-to-biodiesel switching, fuel preheating for cold conditions and circuit cleaning, without requiring modifications to existing OEM hardware.
Completing the display is the F36 engine, designed for compact agricultural machinery and medium-power applications. The 3.6-litre, four-cylinder engine delivers up to 105 kW and 600 Nm of torque, combining high power density with a compact design. Its 600-hour oil-change interval, maintenance-free after-treatment system and single-side servicing arrangement are intended to minimise downtime and improve productivity.
With operations in nearly 100 countries, ten manufacturing facilities and ten research and development centres, FPT continues to expand its portfolio of conventional, hybrid and alternative-fuel powertrains. Its participation at EIMA International 2026 reinforces its focus on supporting agricultural mechanisation through efficient technologies, simplified integration and sustainable power solutions."
