FPT Industrial is one of the protagonists of Horizon 2020, the project of the European Union dedicated to Education, Research and Innovation. FPT Industrial is, in fact, partner in DiePer – Diesel efficiency improvement with Particulates and emission Reduction -, a three-years project which aims to apply advanced technologies for combustion and exhaust after-treatment to existing non-hybrid Diesel engines and to optimize a whole new generation of engines.

FPT Industrial is part of this mission with its R&D Center in Arbon, one of the seven plants where the company develops its products. Beside Switzerland, FPT Industrial is present with its Research and Developments factories all over the world: they are in Turin and Foggia (Italy), Fecamp (France), Burr-Ridge (United States), Belo Horizonte (Brazil) and Chongqing (China), thus covering all continents. Here, the technologies are customized to respond to any need and innovations are tested in specific areas: in Turin, for example, the 22.000 sqm Center features various Test Benches (Engine, Driveline, semi anechoic cells and a climatic-barometric chamber) and laboratories. Totally, FPT Industrial has over 100 test cells around the world at its disposal.
