Development also continued during the year on various
versions of the F1C engine to be fitted on vehicles produced by
Mitsubishi Fuso Bus&Truck Corporation (the Daimler Truck
Group) from the start of 2009.
Production began on the four-cylinder 3.2-litre F32 Tier 3
engine with output up to 65 kW for light industrial and
agricultural applications.
For heavy and medium engines (Cursor and NEF), several
applications of the NEF were introduced in 2008: on-road, for
the Iveco Eurocargo and Irisbus vehicles, and off-road, for
CNH. In addition, several applications were also introduced for
external customers. The 480 hp, Cursor 13 engine with a fixed
geometry turbine was launched in 2008 on the Iveco Stralis.
This particularly reliable technology combines high
performance levels with Euro 5-compliant emissions. Many
applications of the Cursor were also introduced for sale to
external customers.
Development of marine engines continued with major success
in competition. In June, Blue FPT, a powerboat fitted with three
480 hp FPT N67 engines, won the 2008 Round Britain Race, the
longest offshore powerboat race in the world, and Red FPT
won the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes race powered by four 600 hp,
N67 Evolution turbo diesel engines. A 560 hp commercial
version of the N67 Evolution engine was unveiled in October at
the Genoa Boat Show and will be launched commercially in
2009.
