FPT Powertrain Technologies

The vehicles and equipment produced by the Group - whether they be passenger cars, tractors, trucks, buses or construction equipment - are powered by the engines of FPT Powertrain Technologies. FPT designs and produces engines and transmissions and also has significant experience in non-automotive sectors such as marine, industrial, rail and power generation. Technological excellence, a wide product range and an extensive worldwide presence make FPT a global leader in the powertrain sector. The company has always sought solutions for sustainable mobility aimed at achieving reduced pollution and consumption through the evolution of conventional engines (gasoline and diesel), as well as engines which use alternative fuels, such as bifuel natural gas/gasoline or natural gas only. It also has a major focus on hybrid propulsion systems which have already been tested on fleets of commercial vehicles used in urban areas. During 2009, FPT presented several major new developments. One of the most notable was the MultiAir system, which offers enhancements in performance and reductions in fuel consumption and polluting emissions. Developments in diesel engines for passenger cars included the innovative MultiJet II injection system, which offers reduced NOx emissions and noise levels. This new system made its debut on the Punto Evo.
