FPT Industrial Unveils New R38 Engine at EIMA 2024

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. The new R38 was unveiled at EIMA 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 leader 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 R38 – EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE IN A FULLY PACKAGED AND COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION 

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.  

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. 

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. 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.”
