On June 24th, 2013, gas engine supply-handover ceremony of FPT Industrial and Beijing public transit (BJPT) was held in Italian Embassy in Beijing. At the time of ten-year cooperation, FPT Industrial again provided almost 1,200 environmental friendly natural gas engines, continuing its cooperation to build the green capital.

Taking urban public transport as the best solution of citizens going out is a strategic choice for Beijing to become a world city. For the past few years, due to atmospheric environmental quality problems in Beijing and exacerbation of PM 2.5 fine particular matter pollution, Bjpt strived to develop natural gas buses with little particulate matter emission since 2012.
The handover ceremony of FPT Industrial environmental friendly engines
As a global famous engine manufacturing enterprise dedicated to environmental technology R&D, FPT Industrial manufactures a series of clean and environmental friendly engines, which have been widely used in urban public transport system around the world. FPT Industrial has cooperated with BJPT for ten years, providing the most matching products all along. Since 2003, FPT Industrial has provided over 4,600 natural gas engines and fuel-efficient diesel engines including the first batch of 300 natural gas engines. It’s worth mentioning that FPT Industrial provided 1,150 environmental friendly natural gas engines to BJPT to pick up audience around stadiums, assisting Green Olympics. This year BJPT extends natural gas buses and purchases almost 1,200 natural gas engines of FPT Industrial, which takes 60% of imported engines and sets up another milestone in the process of their cooperation.
By over 300 Cursor 8 and over 800 NEF 6 natural gas engines successfully installed in BJPT’s single buses, articulators and double-decker buses, emission of 60,000 private cars will be replaced. Among them, Cursor 8 natural gas engine is of in-line six-cylinder arrangement, 7.8L displacement, 213kW output power and 1,300Nm torsion. For the advanced technology and excellent performance, these public transport vehicles run in the downtown of Beijing. For an instance, 18-meter bus of Route 1 in the Tiananmen Square is just equipped with this engine.
NEF 6 natural gas engine, which is the same as Cursor 8 engine, is the best representative of FPT Industrial delicate design and excellent technology. This kind of natural gas engine is also of in-line six-cylinder arrangement, 5.9L displacement, 147kW top output power and 650Nm max torsion. These two kinds of engines apply multi-point injection system to ensure precise fuel injection and steady combustion in cylinders, and good performance. Compress natural gas controls operational cost efficiently, showing strong economic advantage. After proceeded in ternary catalysis, emission is highly reduced—PM 2.5 emission reduces over 97% compared with diesel engines, which is up to Euro EEV (Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicles)standard, highly above National 5 emission standard.
At the ceremony, products of FPT Industrial and Fiat Group are all over in the Italian Embassy, including engines of FPT Industrial, Iveco and New Holland. Present honored guests include Wang Chunjie, general manager of BJPT, Feng Xingfu, deputy general manager of BJPT, and Giovanni Bartoli, COO of FPT Industrial. Simultaneously, Augusto Massari, director of Department of Economy and Commerce of Italian Embassy, Corrado Clini, director of Italy Environmental Protection Department, Liu Hua, chief engineer of China Department of Environmental Protection, Meng Feixuan, president of Fiat China, Luca Biagini, president of Fiat Group China and Yuning, FPT Industrial China, general manager, are all present at the ceremony, witnessing this grand ceremony together with industry experts and the media from various places of China.
