Sylvain Blaise, President of Iveco Group’s Powertrain Business Unit, made a special celebration at the Bourbon-Lancy plant in France with all the employees presenting a plaque recognizing the success of the FPT Industrial XCursor 13 engine.

This multi-fuel engine recently earned the prestigious Alternative Engine Award from Powertrain International magazine, recognized as the best expression of a holistic vision of the future of mobility. This honor highlights the crucial role of internal combustion engines in the decarbonization journey.

Sylvain Blaise expressed his sincere appreciation to the Bourbon-Lancy team, emphasizing that this achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of every FPT Industrial employee.

The XCursor 13 is FPT Industrial’s first multi-fuel single base engine designed to run on diesel, methane and, in the future, hydrogen. It is compatible with a wide range of market requirements and easily adaptable for different vehicle installations. The XCursor 13 is a primary contributor to achieving CO₂ emissions targets, and is one of the most relevant parts of the group’s decarbonization program.

New air handling for down speeding and fast transient response along with improved combustion efficiency, with increased Common Rail and peak cylinder pressures. State-of-the art technologies such as new smart oil and water pump, advanced combustion control, thermal management, and friction reduction thanks to new connecting rod pins and crankpin materials.

The XCursor 13 offers a wide range of ratings for different applications, from 460 hp/2,300 Nm to 600 hp/2,850 Nm with long service intervals: oil change intervals of up to 150,000 km, and DPF change intervals of up to 600,000 km.
