FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production, and sale of low-environmental impact powertrains, goes back to northern Germany to attend SMM 2024, the world’s leading trade fair and conference event for the maritime industry, held from the 3 to the 6 of September at the Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH, in Hamburg.
Capitalizing of its very successful debut as independent exhibitor in 2022, FPT Industrial focuses its exhibition (Hall A3 – Stand 209) on its fixed speed G-drive engines line up, including the launch of the brand new C16 fixed speed auxiliary for G-drive use for IMO Tier 2, EPA Tier 3, China GB2 markets. The N67 G-Drive 129 kW Stage V and C90 G-Drive engines, also for other auxiliary uses, complete the show.
G-Drive marine – Power, reliability and sustainability come on board
The FPT Industrial marine fixed speed G-Drive range offers a reliable set of solutions for on-board power generators to power and satisfy hotel loads for pleasure and commercial applications. Available from 4,5 to 16 L of displacement and in 50 and 60 Hz versions, fixed speed G-Drive engines have been developed to act in synergy with the FPT Industrial Marine propulsion line-up, with power ratings for continuative use capable of a 10% power overload, according to ISO 8528 prime power.
The rich list of available options allows to meet the most different needs, including fuel pump actuators (GAC) for mechanical engines and the electronic speed controller devices for both mechanical and electronic engines.
New C16 fixed speed auxiliary for G-drive use for IMO Tier 2, EPA Tier 3, China GB2 markets – A new development based on C16 600 propulsion engine
The new C16 fixed speed auxiliary for G-drive use for IMO Tier 2, EPA Tier 3, China GB2 markets.delivers the same performance of the propulsion engine version, to provide abundant, reliable energy to larger pleasure and commercial boats. Consistently with its Cursor family heritage, the G-drive model debuting in Hamburg provides 16-liter durability with a 13-liter compactness and lightness, extreme robustness and reliability, and for maximized productivity.
Suitable for onboard generators of 390 KVA 50 Hz and 470 KVA 60 Hz, or fixed speed diesel-electric applications.

N67 G-Drive Marine – The compact and cost-effective solution
The NEF Series is the widest among FPT Industrial engine families for pleasure and professional marine duties, with four different displacements available in mechanical and electronic version.
Fixed speed G-Drive range NEF engines are characterized both by advanced mechanical fuel injection and electronic Common Rail systems, providing high reliability, minimum fuel consumption and up to 600 hours service intervals.
Options include block heater, electronic speed control, PTO, and compliance to Class homologation as RINA.
Innovative technologies and production processes allow NEF engines to save fuel while ensuring maximum performance and reliability. To reduce maintenance and increase engine lifespan, both mechanical and Common Rail engines adopts plateau-machined cylinder walls and oil-cooled pistons. In Hamburg, the N67 Marine auxiliary debuts with its new Stage V certification for 129 kW @ 1500 rpm without the need for an ATS, suitable for onboard generators (150 KVA 50 Hz / 60 Hz), diesel-electric and other auxiliary use such as pumps, further widening its field of application to vessels operating in inland waterways, such as rivers, channels and lakes.
