First participation at Busworld<\/a> as an independent exhibitor for FPT Industrial<\/a> (belonging to Iveco Group), which in Brussels presented the battery packs made in its Turin plant<\/strong>. Two models are realized: one for minibuses (the eDaily<\/a>) and the other for standard-size electric buses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Iveco Bus, with the New Generation E-Way is the first customer for a product designed for the open market<\/strong>. After all, “we already sell 65 per cent of our combustion engines outside the Iveco group”, explained us Daniele Pozzo<\/strong>, who holds the position of Head of Marketing & Product Portfolio at FPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company’s turnover is currently split roughly 50-50 between on-road and off-road applications, while production stands at around half a million engines per year. Battery assembly is the new venture undertaken by FPT starting in October 2022<\/strong>. The Turin plant has an installed capacity of 1.3 GWh<\/strong>, with margins to increase over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
