I see that FPT some call Iveco engines that are in New Holland and Case IH. Starting in 2014 Deere start using FPT engines model 4.5 L models in Deere model 5G 80 and 90 horsepower also in 5GH high clearance models. Same engines we use in New Holland T5 models. Very good engines.
McCormick switching from Perkins in 100 to 130 models to new 4.5L FPT engines too. Also going to uses FPT 6.7 in X7 up to 175 hp.
Claas start using FPT. Engine in 340-410 horsepower tractors use Deere engine past now going to FPT engines.
Last year engine FPT made 476.786 engines sold 27% are in New Holland and Case IH, 31% use in Iveco trucks and buses.
Sold 3.9 billion of engines transmissions and axles
FPT is very successful emissions challenge with its tier 4 final solution Hi-eSCR still using only selective catalytic reduction with out EGR like Deere.
I recall lots of gloom & doom when the Iveco engines were phased in along with the Fiat drivelines and the Basildon Ford engines disappeared. These engines have proven to be at least as durable and perhaps more so. The engineers have kept up with the requirements of the world we live in and continue to provide a solid product with few exceptions. |
