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, has introduced its new R38, an engine that represents a mini-refresh of its extensive line-up.
New R38 at EIMA International 2024
The new R38 was unveiled at EIMA International 2024, the latest edition of the International Agricultural and Gardening Machinery Exhibition, held in Bologna from 6 to 10 November 2024.
FPT Industrial is a pioneer in the power generation and IPU field thanks to its comprehensive line-up – ranging from 2.4 l to 16 l – that complies with worldwide emission standards and ensures optimal performance across various applications.
new 3.8 l turbocharged engine
The R38 is FPT Industrial’s new 3.8 l turbocharged engine that aims to offer a cost-effective solution for unregulated applications. It offers full compliance with EU standards, and seamless integration with the rest of FPT Industrial's ecosystem.
It covers the 50 kVA and 60 kVA outputs in the power generation line-up, and 55 kW and 65 kW in the industrial power unit version, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
new R38 features
The R38 is switchable from 1,500 rpm to 1,800 rpm to minimize OEMs’ stock requirements
Like the R24, the previous addition to FPT Industrial’s innovative portfolio, it comes as a compact four-cylinder G-Drive, with cooling pack and filters already installed.
The new R38 features a robust, proven and reliable mechanical injection system, while the single-side servicing facilitates and speeds up maintenance activities.
For the power generation version, the R38 is switchable from 1,500 rpm to 1,800 rpm to minimize OEMs’ stock requirements, and it is suitable for a broad range of applications, from stationary backup to mobile prime power.
Power Generation and Industrial Power
Francesca Rinaldi, Power Gen Portfolio and Product Management at FPT Industrial, said: "The new R38 is set to play an important role within our product portfolio, since it will be available in both Power Generation and Industrial Power Unit versions."
Francesca Rinaldi adds, "The introduction of this engine aims to meet even more needs within the unregulated markets: we expect it to quickly become a major player in its target sector, especially for applications, such as generators, irrigation pumps, hydraulic power units, dewatering pumps, and air compressors."
