FPT Industrial has won an award for its versatile XCURSOR 13 internal combustion engine

Versatility is claimed by FPT Industrial for its new XCURSOR 13 internal combustion engine. The XCURSOR 13 is FPT Industrial’s first multi-fuel single base engine designed to run fuels ranging from diesel and natural gas – including biomethane to provide net-zero emissions – to hydrogen and renewable fuels. The engine offers compatibility with a wide range of market requirements and different vehicle installations. The XCURSOR 13 is a primary contributor to achieving CO2 emissions targets, and one of the most significant parts of FPT Industrial’s decarbonisation program. This is based on a multi-energy approach and driven by the end goal of providing its customers with the best ready-to-install products.

Starting from a common core, the engine is based on an improved 13litre engine architecture to meet current CO2 reduction targets and be ready for future regulations. The latest versions of the XCURSOR 13 cover multiple segments and on- and off-road missions, combining high performance with reduced weight and fuel consumption, as well as extended durability and reduced TCO.

  • The Path to Climate-Neutral Road Construction
    October 1, 2023
    Machine manufacturers and construction companies around the globe are currently searching for ways to achieve the goal of climate-neutral construction. The challenge here is to successively reduce emissions of CO2 and other harmful gases (summarized to CO2 equivalents: CO2e) around the world to zero over the coming decades. In the road construction sector, this transformation is inextricably linked to the improvement and further development of production and working processes. In the future, machines and construction materials will also be assessed based on the climate-harmful emissions arising from their production and use. However, the focus should not be on individual machines, but on the entire process leading up to the finished product – a road. Ultimately, the decisive factor is the emissions generated per kilometer of newly built or rehabilitated road – the “CO2e per work done”.
