Fiat Powertrain Technologies is honored to be the first recipient of the "Alternative Fuel Engine Award": The jury of the International Powertrain magazine considers the brand's XCURSOR 13 to be the best example of the overall vision for future mobility, and has been awarded this new award by the organization, recognizing the importance of multi fuel applications of internal combustion engines on decarbonized roads. The award ceremony was held during the recent Bologna International Agricultural and Landscape Machinery Exhibition (EIMA) in Italy.

This award is established for the first time to recognize the value of "multi fuel engines", which possess basic characteristics of internal combustion engines such as application diversity and adaptability to different fuels. This will play an important role in addressing future emission challenges.

The jury of the Alternative Fuel Engine Award believes that XCURSOR 13 can provide all these elements. This engine is Fiat Powertrain's first multi fuel engine with the same bare metal hardware, which can use fuels including diesel, natural gas (including zero emission biomethane), hydrogen, and renewable fuels. XCURSOR 13 can meet a wide range of market demands and different vehicle installation requirements, and is a major contributor to achieving carbon dioxide emission targets. It is also one of the most important parts of Fiat Powertrain's decarbonization plan. This product is based on multi fuel applications, with the ultimate goal of providing customers with the best ready to use products.

The latest version of XCURSOR 13 starts with the core components of General Motors, based on an improved 13 liter engine structure to meet current carbon dioxide reduction targets and prepare for future regulations. It covers multiple segmented markets as well as road and non road applications, combining high performance with weight reduction, fuel consumption reduction, extended durability, and reduced total cost of ownership.

Daniele Pozzo, Head of Marketing and Product Management at Fiat Powertrain Technologies, said: 'We are proud to have achieved this important milestone for XCURSOR 13.'. Winning the first "Alternative Fuel Engine Award" proves that the decision to invest in multi fuel applications was the right one. XCURSOR 13 is a key player in this strategy as it has the versatility of multiple fuels and has the potential to play a leading role in both on road and off road applications. The extensive work done in the development and continuous improvement of this engine will ensure that it will play a leading role in the future, meeting market demands and changes at any time

Fabio Butturi, editor of International Powertrain, commented that it is not surprising that Fiat Powertrain Technology won the first "Alternative Fuel Engine Award". Its electronic management system can be traced back to the early development of common rail. As a pioneer in the field of natural gas applications, the CURSOR X launched by Fiat Powertrain Technologies announced the birth of the multi fuel concept. XCURSOR 13 uses a shared crankcase and many common components, and can choose diesel, compressed natural gas, or hydrogen as fuel according to specific applications
