FPT Industrial is widening its already extensive engine line-up for power generation with the launch of the new 4-cylinder G-Drive R24 (opening image)With its unveiling alongside the C13 model planned for Middle East Energy in Dubai, the Middle East and Africa’s most comprehensive energy exhibition that was canceled due to exceptionally inclement weather, the new G-Drive R24 offers an effective solution for all emergency and prime power applications in the 20 to 40kVA range.

Despite the cancellation of the exhibition, on April 16th FPT Industrial was able, as sole Sponsor, to welcome customers and guests at Energy Meet 2024 (below), a networking event organized by Generazione Distribuita, the Italian association of manufacturers and distributors of engines, components and generating sets.  

The new FPT Industrial’s R24 engine

The R24 is FPT Industrial’s new engine in the low-displacement power generation field. It comes as a compact four-cylinder G-Drive, complete with engine, radiator, and air filter for a limited footprint. Single-side servicing facilitates and speeds up maintenance activities.

Featuring a simple and reliable mechanical pump, the R24 engine platform is available in naturally aspirated and turbocharged models, covering power outputs from 20 kVA to 40 kVA.

The new R24 delivers excellent transient load response for any stand-by and prime application. The flexibility to switch between 50 Hz to 60 Hz offers efficient stock management for customers.

The C13 for heavy duty

The Cursor 13 is the ideal solution when top power output and exceptional compactness are crucial. It uses a heavy-duty Common Rail system offering high performance, excellent transient load response, and optimized fuel efficiency for both unregulated and Stage V/Tier 4F markets.

Designed to provide a reliable power supply in the most severe conditions and operating environments, the C13 is switchable between 50 Hz and 60 Hz to meet all customer needs. It delivers best-in-class operating costs thanks to its 600 h service interval.
