PRODUCT GUIDE

Alternative-fuel engine

Isuzu’s (Plymouth, Mich.) first natural gas
or propane power unit provides a range
of dependable power. The REDTech
4HV1 power unit’s 4.6-L engine offers LP

• 82.5 hp (61.5
  kW) at 1800
  rpm or 56.3 hp
  (41.9 kW) at
  2200 rpm. In
  natural gas,
  the 4HV1 of-
  fers 78.4 hp
  (58.5 kW) at
  1800 rpm or
  79.8 hp (59.5
  kW) at 2200 rpm. According to Isuzu,
  the alternative-fuel engine is reliable,
  quiet, fuel efficient and low maintenance.
  Switchable for dual-fuel use in off-high-
  way and industrial applications, this al-
  ternative-fuel engine’s standard features
  include a maintenance-free emission
  control device, a 3-way catalyst (for LSI
  T2 applications), an electronic pressure
  regulator, wiring harness and knock de-
  tection. In addition, there are also several
  available options.

Hybrid propulsion concept

FPT Industrial’s (Turin, Italy) ‘hybrid
architecture’ is a modular concept that
focuses on the support of the thermal
combustion engine in all its operational
modes. This architecture can improve
efficiency and performance while re-
ducing CO 2 emissions and can be ap-
plied to a wide range of applications,
whether low- or high-energy-demand
vehicles, with small or large dimensions
and, most importantly, for the off-road,
on-road and marine segments. The
thermal engine has two main extra
components, the E-Flywheel and the
E-Turbocharger,
which recover
energy that
can be reused.
Compared to a
conventional
diesel engine,
FPT claims

these components guarantee sustain-

ability, performance, efficiency and fuel

saving. According to the company, the

FPT Industrial hybrid solution can re-

duce fuel consumption by up to 8%,

improve transient response by up to

50%, increase low-speed torque, opti-

mize the engine strategy and provide

energy availability for auxiliaries and

implements.
