Feb 12: FPT, 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, joined forces with IVECO at the 2026 Sustainable Truck of the Year Awards. The IVECO S Way LNG, powered by the XCURSOR 13 NG engine, won the award in the Tractor category, confirming the two brands’ commitment to an increasingly sustainable transportation sector.
Established in 2016 by Italian industry magazine Vado e Torno, the Sustainable Truck of the Year awards are assigned annually by an independent jury of specialized journalists. Their assessment covers sustainability and efficiency criteria, including emissions reduction, safety performance, driving comfort, and overall environmental impact.
“We are pleased that our long-standing commitment to innovation and research in natural gas engines, a journey that began in 1997 with the launch of our first NG engine and has since positioned us as a clear market leader, continues to receive industry-wide recognition and appreciation,” commented Fabio Guerrisi, Head of On-Road Sales at FPT. “With over 100,000 natural gas engine units sold worldwide, FPT has built a solid reputation in this field. The XCURSOR 13 NG embodies our leadership in natural gas, and introduces a multi fuel engine concept, based on a single platform, and designed to run on diesel, methane and, in the future, hydrogen.”
The XCURSOR 13 NG is the most powerful natural gas engine on the market, offering 500 hp with 2,200 Nm of torque. Alongside outstanding performance, sustainability is a key strength of this engine. The XCURSOR 13 NG plays a crucial role in Iveco Group’s decarbonization program, delivering CO₂ emission reductions of up to 8% compared to the MY22 version. Significant improvements are also reflected in the engine’s reduced weight ( 10% compared to the previous generation), lower fuel consumption, and reduced engine noise compared to diesel models, thanks to FPT’s multipoint stoichiometric combustion technology.
