FPT INDUSTRIAL: SHAPING THE EMEA POWER MARKET
Discover how FPT Industrial is driving innovation in the Middle East’s power generation market with cutting-edge technology, a commitment to carbon neutrality, and strategic partnerships.
R24 G-Drive
FPT Industrial is a world-leading Iveco Group brand specialized in the design, production, and sale of powertrains and solutions for on- and off-road vehicles, as well as marine and power generation applications. With a diverse range of engines, transmissions, and axles, FPT Industrial leads in sustainability, offering the most comprehensive lineup of natural gas engines, electric drivelines, and advanced energy solutions, including biomethane, hydrogen, and HVOs, driving the path toward net-zero emissions.
Focus on the Middle East power generation market
The Middle East is a key market for FPT Industrial. In April this year, FPT Industrial expanded its extensive engine line-up for power generation with the launch of the new 4-cylinder G-Drive R24. Originally planned to be unveiled alongside the CURSOR 13 model at Middle East Energy in Dubai—the Middle East and Africa’s most comprehensive energy exhibition, which was cancelled due to exceptionally inclement weather—the new G-Drive R24 offers an effective solution for emergency and prime power applications in the 20 to 40 kVA range.
New R24: High-performance in a compact package
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.

Path to Carbon Neutrality
Conscious of the responsibilities deriving from being a leading manufacturer of engines, FPT Industrial has decided to take the path of sustainability in a global and factual manner. The company is moving steadily towards the net-zero carbon emissions target with a comprehensive approach that not only includes its plants, products, and processes, but also other potentially carbon-emitting activities, such as its attendance at major international fairs.
A carbon footprint project has been included in the sustainability plan within FPT Industrial responsibility. The carbon footprint project is aimed to identify improvement to the product from concept to design, including machining, assembling, manufacturing process, maintenance, remanufacturing, recycle and dismission.
Francesca Rinaldi, Product Manager for Power Generation, FPT Industrial, says that sustainability is a constant focus of everything the company does. “Through our R&D centers, we are one of the world’s key players in the research for sustainable propulsion and power generation solutions. We are strongly committed to reducing the environmental impact of all our processes, products, plants, and even the booth at the trade fairs where we exhibit. Starting at Agritechnica 2023, and following the results of research performed alongside Polytechnic University of Milan, we designed a brand-new, 100% sustainable booth. This study analysed the booth’s global carbon footprint by taking into consideration transportation of materials, goods and people, energy consumption during the fair, and set-up and dismantling, to name just some factors. For example, all the materials needed to build the booth were transported from Italy to Hanover, and back, by a fleet of IVECO S-Way trucks, powered by FPT Industrial CURSOR 13 NG engines fuelled by bio-LNG supplied by Shell, helping to drive emissions down towards zero. After every exhibition, FPT Industrial verifies the residual emissions to offset them through the purchase of certified carbon credits.”

Staying in the field of zero emission solutions, FPT Industrial considers electricity to be an excellent alternative energy source. A dedicated ePowertrain department has been in place at FPT Industrial since 2018, while in October 2022, the company opened the ePowertrain Plant in Turin, the Iveco Group’s first carbon neutral, Industry 4.0 Plant.
Partnership with LONGEN POWER
In April, FPT Industrial and LONGEN POWER entered into a comprehensive cooperation agreement to expand into global power equipment markets. According to the agreement, over the next three years, FPT Industrial will supply engines for LONGEN POWER’s gensets, and the companies will work together to promote the application and development of gensets and industrial power equipment in the global market.
LONGEN POWER is a professional manufacturer of gensets and industrial power equipment integrating R&D, design, manufacturing, sales and service. Since 2017, LONGEN POWER has successfully marketed hundreds of gensets paired with FPT Industrial engines in a large number of export markets in Europe, America, and the Asia-Pacific region, achieving a good commercial response.
Together, the companies form a winning pair, ready to supply reliable and environmentally friendly solutions to global markets in order to ensure energy security.
As a world leader in industrial powertrains and solutions, FPT Industrial is dedicated to serving its customers on all continents and in all sectors. Over 8,000 people across ten production sites and ten R&D centers worldwide work for FPT Industrial to deliver the best, most effective and sustainable solutions to any propulsion and power generation requirement.
