THE FIRST “POWERED BY FPT” MARINA ESTABLISHED IN PORTO ROTONDO
The partnership between FPT Industrial and the Fishing Division of the Porto Rotondo Yacht Club, in Sardinia, was officially inaugurated on July 9, 2020. The event was commemorated with the installation of a permanent plaque next to the main entrance of the clubhouse.

Founded in 1985 by a group of sea enthusiasts, the Porto Rotondo Yacht Club counts alliances with important Italian and international Yacht Clubs and is currently chaired by Roberto Azzi and Sandro Onofaro for the fishing division. This technical partnership between the global powertrain brand of CNH Industrial and the Fishing Division of one of the most prestigious Italian Yacht Clubs inaugurates the first ”Powered by FPT” Marina. The project’s objective is to promote the Brand and, above all, its division dedicated to marine engines for both commercial and pleasure powerboating pursuits. Through this collaboration, FPT Industrial is reaching out to its end customers, nurturing firsthand experiences and customer centricity.

Currently, FPT Industrial produces seven types of commercial marine engines and eight variants dedicated to pleasure crafts. Among the main models are: the 735 kW C16 1000 which is capable of generating high levels of power density and torque, combined with reduced fuel consumption and a low environmental impact; the 578 kW C16 600 which is able to provide the power of an 18-liter engine in the from a 13-liter version; the 478 kW C90 650 EVO which guarantees high injection pressures and timing accuracy in any operating condition with consequent greater efficiency and responsiveness at each speed; and the lightweight 331 kW N67 570 EVO, which is compact and with low operating costs to provide high specific power with minimum consumption.

All of these engines can be paired with the Red Horizon integrated marine control system, developed by FPT Industrial in collaboration with ZF, a technology supplier of systems for the next generation of mobility, and Navico (Simrad), a manufacturer of marine electronics. Red Horizon is the integration of the most advanced marine technologies in terms of engine, monitoring and control systems. By combining state-of-the-art technologies from all partners, Red Horizon guarantees full navigation control and safety, best piloting comfort, easy handling and mooring.

The inaugural event - by invitation only and limited in number in compliance with the current social distancing rules - was attended by representatives of the Board of the Porto Rotondo Yacht Club and FPT Industrial.
