FPT INDUSTRIAL CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN ITS POSITION THROUGH A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH LINDNER, REAFFIRMING THE BRAND AS THE ENGINE PROVIDER OF CHOICE IN THE AGRICULTURAL SEGMENT
FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production, and sale of powertrains and solutions for on- and off-road vehicles, as well as marine and power generation applications, has been chosen by the Lindner tractor company as the engine supplier for its new Lintrac 160 LDrive, the most powerful tractor in its history. This is another major success for FPT Industrial: the Iveco Group brand thereby confirms itself as the preferred global partner for OEMs in the agricultural segment, thanks to its reliable products and innovative, technology-driven solutions.
Founded in 1948 and based in Tyrol, Austria, Lindner is a family-owned company specializing in the development and production of innovative tractors for Alpine and various other agricultural applications. Known for its high-quality engineering and sustainable solutions, Lindner is a trusted partner for professionals operating on challenging conditions. The Lintrac 160 LDrive was developed for farms that need plenty of power combined with maximum comfort and revolutionary maneuverability. Typical applications include work with combination balers, arable and row-crop farming, contract work, and maintenance tasks. In addition, the Lintrac 160 LDrive has been tailored for year-round municipal use. Four-wheel steering makes the Lintrac 160 LDrive the most maneuverable tractor in its hp class.
Lindner chose FPT Industrial’s N45 engine because it is the perfect fit for the new Lintrac 160 LDrive, designed to operate in high-altitude environments and on steep terrain. Among the winning features of the engine which perfectly suit the missions of the new Lintrac 160 LDrive are its lean design and compact dimensions, paired with impressive power and torque. Not to mention the engine’s proven reliability, a key factor when it comes to demanding field operations.
The FPT Industrial NEF family, as market leader in the powertrain sector, is the best choice for the most demanding missions of agricultural equipment, and is testament to the brand’s technological excellence. Since 2001, over two million of these engines have been manufactured for a range of applications: agriculture, construction equipment, on-road, marine and power generation. Celebrating 25 years of continuous improvement, FPT Industrial is proud to mark the anniversary of its powertrain family, a significant milestone that underscores the strength of its technology, its proven reliability, and the enduring trust earned from the market through consistent performance in the field.
“This new partnership further strengthens our position in the market. We are proud to be joining forces with Lindner, a company that shares our core values of innovation, customer focus, and reliability, making us ideal partners,” said Sylvain Blaise, President of Iveco Group’s Powertrain Business Unit. “Despite the headwinds, we are establishing new collaborations. Together, we look forward to delivering exceptional solutions for demanding off-road applications. The future holds great promise for our partnership.”
“With our tractors, we empower customers across Europe to achieve exceptional results every day. Ensuring the highest quality is our foremost priority — both in our products and in our partnerships. The new Lintrac 160 LDrive represents a significant milestone for our company. We are pleased to collaborate with FPT Industrial, a strong and reliable partner who shares our commitment to excellence and meets the high standards we set for ourselves and our products”, explained David Lindner, Lindner Managing Director.
