FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production, and sale of low environmental impact powertrains, along with its distributor AS Labruna, have been chosen by the Wider shipyard as preferred powertrain suppliers for the new WiderCat 92 hybrid catamaran, whose third hull was recently launched at the Wider Vision Hub in Fano, Italy.

Two FPT Industrial N67 570 EVO 349 kW variable-speed engines are combined with twin electric motors - each delivering 500 kW - in an innovative serial hybrid propulsion system, completed with an LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery pack for energy storage. The entire propulsion system provides a cruising speed of 12 knots thanks to the Electric Boost. The hybrid mode allows the catamaran to travel up to 1700 nautical miles at a speed of 6 knots. Full-electric cruising, on the other hand, provides a range of 24 nautical miles at 6 knots in complete silence with zero emissions, or else the same battery power can provide 15 hours' run time without charging when anchored. What's more, solar panels installed on WiderCat 92 can deliver energy self-sufficiency for the night, thanks to the battery storage.

The compact and high-performance N67 570 EVO engines at the heart of this serial hybrid system feature advanced electronic common rail systems and provide high, constant power and torque delivery, reliability, and low fuel consumption. Layout and specific settings are focused on marine duties. Both engine and turbocharging cooling systems are specifically optimized for high-power missions.

N67 570 EVO - Technical Specifications:

  • Cylinder Arrangement: 6L
  • Air Feeding TCA
  • Displacement [liters]: 6.7
  • Injection System: CR
  • Rating A1 - Short pleasure range [kW@rpm]: 419@3000
  • Rating A2/B1 - Long pleasure range [kW@rpm]: 390@3000
  • Rating B - Light Duty [kW@rpm]: 357@3000
