FPT INDUSTRIAL RIDES THE WAVE OF SUSTAINABILITY, EFFICIENCY AND POWERFUL INNOVATION AT METSTRADE 2023
 
From 15 to 17 November, FPT Industrial is attending METSTRADE 2023, the world’s largest B2B marine equipment trade show, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary. Environmental protection, hybrid propulsion, smart solutions, and future-oriented collaborations are the main themes of the Brand’s attendance at RAI Amsterdam Europaplein (Amsterdam, The Netherlands).
 




N67 450 N for auxiliary fixed speed and Stage V applications – The engine that brings together professionals and yachtsmen
Available for both pleasure boating and light to medium professional marine duties, the N67 450 N engine offers high power output and maximum torque at low engine speed. It is offered in both heat-exchanged and keel-cooled configurations, all customizable on request, while options include electronic remote control, monitoring systems, and compliance with international emissions standards. Advanced diagnostic equipment allows easier engine servicing, while oil and filter change intervals of up to 600 hours minimize downtime. At METSTRADE 2023, the N67 450 N is also exhibited as an auxiliary power unit with layout and specific settings focused on marine duties, available for fixed-speed auxiliary g-drive thanks to the new 129 kW model at 1500 and 1800 rpm, that is IMO exempted. Available in 50 and 60 Hz versions, FPT Industrial’s marine fixed-speed G-Drive engines have been developed to act in synergy with the FPT Industrial marine propulsion line-up, with prime power ratings capable of a 10% power overload, according to ISO 8528 prime power. The extensive list of available options allows the most varied needs to be met, including electronic speed controllers for both mechanical and electronic engines.

C90 650 EVO Hybrid Configuration – The modular and scalable parallel hybrid electric marine propulsion system for commercial and pleasure vessels
Top performance, compact design, flexibility and fuel efficiency for commercial and pleasure vessels. These are the main features of the C90 650 EVO Hybrid developed by FPT Industrial and Vulkan Hybrid Architect, a leading brand in the design and manufacture of complex systems with wide experience in tailor-made integrated hybrid solutions for shipyards and shipowners. Based on the Compact Parallel Hybrid architecture and built around pre-defined modular and flexible hardware combinations to meet customer requirements, the solution on display in Amsterdam features an FPT Industrial C90 650 EVO diesel engine, a Hybrid Clutch to engage and disengage the ICE, an e-machine in the form of a synchronous permanent magnet and axial flux motor, a frequency converter, a marine gearbox, elastic joints and a vibro-acoustic isolation system. Easy to use and ready to handle any situation and conditions, the C90 650 EVO Hybrid guarantees reduced maintenance and costs, considerable fuel savings, reduced emissions, and exceptional comfort. In addition, the silent full-electric-drive mode allows access to marine protected areas.
The C90 650 EVO Hybrid is a compact, turn-key solution, ideal for small engine rooms and repowering projects, allowing the shipyard to downsize or eliminate the onboard generator. In addition to the hybrid drivetrain shown at the exhibition, this solution includes the DC switchboard cabinet, the transformer, the PMS, the control system and the battery system.
FPT Industrial marine lineup has been hybridized by Vulkan, in pre-determined configurations from 125 kW to 735 kW, providing various choices of e-motor powers to be coupled (from 96 kW to 250 kW) and modular battery packs.

New C90 650 E Light Duty – Best-in-class top power and peak torque for light duty applications
Based on the C90 650 E architecture, the new C90 605 HP light duty debuting in Amsterdam was designed to increase the available power in the B1 light duty curve, up to 1,000 h/y usage, from 580HP to 605HP @ 2,530 rpm.
In doing so, FPT Industrial engineers achieved a number of customer-related benefits and competitive advantages, such as best-in-class top power, best-in-class peak torque (20% more than the main competitor), lower rated speed allowing the coupling to gearboxes with lower reduction ratio, and very steep torque rise to facilitate maneuvering on various light commercial applications.
Also available in the optional keel cooling configurations, the new C90 605 HP light duty is certified EPA Tier III Commercial / IMO Marpol Tier II for applications in USA, Canada, Europe and rest of the world.
