system, an exhaust gas recycling system (EGR) and after-treatment system consisting of an oxidizing catalyst
with particulate filter or a particulate catalyst, depending on engine size. Development is aimed at agricultural
and construction equipment applications for CNH, as well as applications specific to the agreement with
Perkins Engine Company Limited.
For medium and heavy vehicles, development continued on the NEF and Cursor diesel engines, bringing
them in line with future Euro 6 emissions limits, and work was completed on development of the NEF 6.7 liter
and Cursor 9, 10 and 13 engines for off-road applications with incorporation of Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) technology, bringing them in line with Stage IIIB/Tier 4A limits for engines with power output above 130
kW. Development was also initiated to adapt these engines to meet future Stage IV/Tier 4B limits for off-road
applications.
For CNH, new versions of the Cursor 9 engine with variable-geometry turbo-charger are being developed for
Tier 4A off-road applications . Also in the pipeline is the new Cursor 11 engine for trucks, to be launched in the
last quarter of 2012, which will be the first Cursor family engine for on-road application to adopt the Common
Rail injection system.
Also in 2010, development was completed on the new two-stage turbo-charged Cursor 13 for agricultural
applications (with power output ranging up to 660 hp). This engine is equipped with a new generation Common
Rail system with injection pressure up to 2,200 bars and SCR system for reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions.
During the year, production began on the Cursor 9, 10 and 13 Tier 4A and the 6-cylinder NEF Tier 4A SCR
engines for CNH, in addition to a Euro 5 6-cylinder NEF for Tata Daewoo.
For marine applications, the latest evolution of the C90, the 650 hp Pleasure version, was presented at the
Genoa International Boat Show in October 2010 (production launch is scheduled for March 2011). Also of
note were the victories chalked in 2010 up by the powerboat RED FPT, fitted with four 600 hp FPT N67 turbo
diesel engines, which won the U.I.M Marathon World Cup and the Harmsworth Trophy, the oldest motorboat
trophy in the world, as well as the Cowes 100 (over a 100-mile course) and the Cowes–Torquay–Cowes (the
178-mile classic).
