FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production, and sale of powertrains and solutions for on- and off-road vehicles, as well as marine and power generation applications, is once again leading the way in sustainability. Indeed, IVECO’s Eurocargo CNG, powered by FPT Industrial’s N67 NG engines, has been crowned Sustainable Truck of the Year in the Distribution category. The prestigious award, organized by Italian trade magazine Vado e Torno since 2016, was based on the choice of an independent jury of industry journalists.
A key factor in the sustainability of the Eurocargo CNG, IVECO’s flagship vehicle in the medium-weight segment, was undoubtedly FPT Industrial’s N67 NG – designed and manufactured for IVECO as the Tector 7. The N67 NG is the brand’s engine for medium-duty truck applications that makes the Eurocargo CNG the only such truck in Europe to offer natural gas across the full range and one of the most popular trucks on the market. As an evolution of the previous N60 NG, this engine has increased displacement of 6.7 liters, increased power of 280 hp, and increased torque of 1000 Nm, matching the diesel line-up’s performance while reducing CO2 emissions by up to -10%. Three ratings are available: 220 hp/800 Nm, 250 hp/850 Nm, and 280 hp/1000 Nm. This engine is the perfect support for any on-road mission, offering best-in-class maintenance, with oil and spark plugs service intervals of up to 70,000 km for regional use, along with class-leading durability. Another key benefit for customers is its high reliability, thanks to the Nickel-Resist cast-iron exhaust manifold, water cooled wastegate turbocharger, and no EGR. Stoichiometric combustion assures best-in-class fuel consumption, and lower noise than the Diesel version. The N67 NG is compatible with CNG and biomethane, the latter enabling additional emission reductions.
Daniele Pozzo, Head of Marketing & Product Management at FPT Industrial, stated: “We are proud to celebrate this achievement for an engine that continues to lead the way in sustainability. The N67 NG is an effective solution in the ongoing effort to reduce emissions in the on-road sector. In the current scenario, the use of natural gas has become an increasingly valuable tool in reducing transportation costs. At the same time, the reliability and performance of the N67 NG engine are exceptional, validated by years of market presence and the trust of our customers.”
