What is Industry 4.0? And, above all, where and how can its technologies be used? These and many other questions are answered by MADE, Industry 4.0 Competence Center with its headquarters in Milan, on via Durando 10.

What will the factory of the future be like? How will it be organized? To answer these and many other questions about the Industry 4.0 production model, all it takes is a trip to the FPT Industrial Driveline plant in Turin, dedicated to the production of transmissions and axles for heavy equipment.

Big changes often start with a little step, and it is these small steps that often produce a considerable and decisive impact both at local and global level. And when the challenge is to convince people to believe in a more responsible and sustainable way of both producing and consuming resources – be they fuel, energy or food – winning people’s hearts one by one seems to be the best way.

FPT Industrial, a leader in the powertrain industry and a brand of the CNH Industrial, consolidates its commitment to contemporary art and its vision linked to sustainability, promoting, in collaboration with Artissima, the first edition of the FPT for Sustainable Art award, a fusion of sustainability, innovation and art.

Leading energy transition towards an increasingly sustainable transport model not only requires expertise and state-of-the-art technology, but also practical and accessible solutions that demonstrate that an environmentally conscious way of living and consuming is achievable in the present and not just a vision for the future.

FPT Industrial powers the “Sustainable Truck of the Year 2021” in the Tractor category, the IVECO S-WAY NP 460 in LNG version. The winning truck is equipped with the latest generation of FPT Industrial’s Cursor 13 Natural Gas: the most powerful, 100% natural gas engine for commercial vehicles on the market.

FPT Industrial and IVECO, the two CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI) brands that design and manufacture powertrains and commercial vehicles respectively, together with Snam, one of the world’s leading energy infrastructure operators, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for technological and commercial cooperation in order to contribute to the decarbonisation of the transport sector both in Italy and internationally by developing biomobility (biomethane and natural gas) and hydrogen.

FPT Industrial further confirms its commitment to sustainability and research into alternative propulsion solutions for the on-road segment, taking part in LONGRUN, a European Union Horizon 2020 innovation programme. The LONGRUN acronym stands for the development of efficient and environmentally friendly LONG-distance poweRtrain for heavy dUty trucks aNd coaches.

Fuel economy is a key aspect to reduce operating costs and improve the efficiency of long-haul trucks, thus increasing truck competitiveness in the transport industry. A matter of great importance to FPT Industrial, as demonstrated by the Brand’s numerous inventions, innovations and patents, including the exclusive and unbeaten HI-eSCR2 after-treatment system.

The partnership between FPT Industrial and Aprilia Racing Team, which began last July, is spotlighted in a double interview with representatives of the two brands, who are united by a passion for racing, speed and engine performance, as well as profound commitment to the technological pursuit of excellence.
