SWITCH TO JCB ELECTRIC SHREDS EMISSIONS

Shred Station has switched from diesel to electric for its brand new fleet of JCB materials handling machines.

Shred station is replacing six of its diesel powered JCB teletruks with six new electric models. By making the switch the company estimates it will save around 62,000 liter of diesel per year.

the leading shredding services provider has taken delivery of three of the JCB 3019E electric teletruks models at its norwich site. the performance was so impressive that it immediately bought three more.

s upplied by dealer Watling JCB, the JCB 30-19E electric teletruks will be used to transport bales of shredded paper around shred station’s depot, stack them safely and maximise depot space. they are also responsible for loading the bales onto trucks ready to be transported to shred station’s recycling facilities.

s hred s tation is the world’s largest independent shredding service providers and has been destroying confidential materials for over 14 years. While the company mostly destroys paper-based materials, other services include textile shredding, hard drive and media storage destruction, product shredding and much more.

CUMMINS FUEL-AGNOSTIC ENGINE PLATFORM CAPABILITY COMES TO CON-EXPO

Heavy-Duty Hydrogen, Biogas And Advanced Diesel Engines To Align With Tier 5.

Cummins i nc. will show its new fuel-agnostic 15-liter engine platform with hydrogen, biogas and advanced diesel engines at Con Expo (stand s84615, south hall upper). it offers oEms the opportunity to accelerate the decarbonization of heavy-duty offhighway applications.

t his new platform, designed for the next level of emissions, has a significant increase in the power density with a more compact installation envelope enabling oEms to increase machine capability and productivity with no impact on running costs.

t he fuel-agnostic architecture of the 15-liter next generation engine utilises a common base engine with cylinder heads and fuel systems specifically tailored for hydrogen, natural gas, diesel and biofuels including HVo t he 15-liter hydrogen engine will be available with ratings from 400-to-530 hp and a peak torque of 2600 nm. For applications powered by renewable biogas, this engine will offer ratings from 400-to-510 hp with a peak torque of 2500 n m available. t he advanced diesel version features will offer a broad power range of 450-to-650 hp, with an impressive 3200 nm peak torque. www.cummins.com

FPT INDUSTRIAL’S NEW XC13 HYDROGEN COMBUSTION ENGINE MAKES ITS FIELD DEBUT AT FLACHAU SKI WORLD CUP TOGETHER WITH PRINOTH one of the highlights of this media talk, with over 100 journalists attending, was the official presentation of the prinotH LEitWoLF h2motion, the world’s first hydrogen powered snow groomers with an internal combustion engine by F pt industrial. the new concept vehicle is in fact equipped with the new Fpt XC13 Hydrogen version, 13 liter, six-cylinder engine, delivering 460 hp (338 kW) and 2,000 nm of torque. unveiled at iAA 2022, the new Fpt XC13 is the first multi-fuel single-base engine. From diesel to natural gas – including biomethane – to hydrogen and renewable fuels, the base engine has been designed with multiple versions to offer maximum component standardization and easy integration into the final product. Leveraging long experience on alternative fuels, the XC13 hydrogen engine is a first concept looking toward a complementary offer to accelerate the decarbonization process of the industrial applications sector. the hydrogen combustion engine installed on the prinotH LEitWoLF h2motion is an additional technology in the F pt i ndustrial portfolio for zero Co 2 emission solutions, offering customers the familiarity they are used to with traditional machines. the hydrogen fuel is stored in five tanks mounted on the back of the machine for an indicative running time of more than 3 hours.

FPT Industrial, the world-leading producer of low environmental impact solutions, and PRINOTH, a world leader in the production of snow groomers and tracked vehicles, provided additional excitement during the Ski World Cup in Flachau (Austria).

Recently, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the World Cup in Flachau, Klaus tonhäuser, president and CEo of prinotH Group, took part in the discussion “sustainability in Winter s ports” organized by s now s pace s alzburg Bergbahnen, which focused on ideas and new technologies that can reduce the environmental impact of all activities connected to skiing.

Fully ready for field tests, the LEitWoLF h2motion can be the ideal solution for sustainability-oriented ski resorts, such as s now s pace s alzburg Bergbahnen, whose remaining C o 2 emissions are largely attributable to slope grooming.

Designed primarily for preparing slopes in larger ski resorts due to its power and size, the new concept vehicle is another step toward prinotH’s goal of a zerocarbon fleet and the collaboration with Fpt industrial signals the two companies’ mutual commitment to sustainability in off-road applications.

“ u nveiled in s eptember 2022, now ready for its first field test. such a short timeframe reveals the unique quality of our XC13 engine,” comments pierpaolo Biffali, Vice president product Engineering at Fpt industrial. “We are proud to be next to prinotH in our mission to deliver sustainable propulsion solutions for our customers.”

“ t he F pt i ndustrial engine of the LEitWoLF h2motion is similar to a diesel engine,” says Klaus tonhäuser, “and offers our customers what they are used to from other machines. this will contribute to the acceptance of the technology.” www.fptindustrial.com

THE FPT INDUSTRIAL N67 NATURAL GAS ENGINE POWERS THE WORLD’S FIRST LNG PROTOTYPE TRACTOR, DESIGNED BY NEW HOLLAND AGRICULTURE

At the CNH Industrial Tech Day event, held in Phoenix (Arizona, USA) on December 7th and 8th, 2022, New Holland Agriculture unveiled the new T7 Methane Power LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) pre-production prototype tractor, the world’s first LNG tractor powered by FPT Industrial’s N67 NG engine. This marks another step in FPT Industrial’s decarbonization path for agriculture.

The t 7 m ethane p ower L n G was developed to offer both an economic and ecological alternative to environmentally conscious farmers looking for high-horsepower tractors which offer excellent performance, lower emissions, and reduced operating costs. in addition, since liquified natural gas allows for greater storage density compared to compressed natural gas, it increases run time without the need for additional tanks, ensuring overall farm sustainability.

the new Holland t7 methane power LnG tractor harnesses all the experience and expertise of Fpt industrial, the world’s leading producer of low-environmentalimpact engines, and enabler of another crucial step toward decarbonization in agriculture. With over 20 years’ experience and more than 70,000 units sold globally, t he heart of both the “ s ustainable tractor of the Year 2022” – the n ew Holland t6.180 methane power – and the world’ first LnG tractor – the new Holland t7 methane power LnG – the n67 natural Gas is the ultimate cleanenergy solution specifically designed for open-field tractors. the n67 nG engine powering the new Holland t7 methane power LnG can run on liquified biomethane sourced from livestock manure and slurry, allowing for carbon-negative operation and enabling circular ecosystems in agriculture. https://www.fptindustrial.com/

Fpt industrial is leading the introduction of n atural Gas technology in off-road segment applications, with customized engine solutions for installation on agricultural equipment.

Delivering the same performance as its diesel equivalent in terms of power, torque, durability and maintenance intervals, the n67 nG ensures diesel-like drivability for an unchanged customer experience, while reducing the carbon footprint of farming operations.
