FPT, the Iveco Group company 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, recently announced the global launch of the new F5 Long Block range dedicated to off-road vehicles.

Produced in the Foggia (Italy) and Garchizy (France) plants, the new range expands the Brand’s offering in this segment, joining the current two series, F1A Long Block and F1C Long Block, both dedicated to on-road applications. Factory-assembled using only original components, F5 Long Blocks fully comply with FPT technical specifications and production standards.

The F5 Long Block offers an economical repair option - when customers need prompt support - by allowing components from the old engine to be transferred to the replacement unit. This helps lower the total operation cost while ensuring a high-quality repair. It also represents the ideal solution for engine workshops: by stocking these units in their warehouse, customers can access replacements immediately, significantly reducing vehicle repair downtime and improving service responsiveness.

Widely referred to as a semi-complete engine, the long block is a partial composition of a complete engine assembly. Manufactured through an optimized industrial process that increases production efficiency, while maintaining the highest quality standards, the F5 Long Block is offered at a very competitive price, without sacrificing performance or reliability. Once assembled, F5 Long Block units are directly shipped to the distribution network, greatly reducing any risk of assembly issues.

The F5 Long Block’s main advantage is its compatibility with a wider range of off-road engine configurations than a complete engine, providing a single versatile solution that simplifies inventory management and offers greater flexibility for customers.

“With the launch of the F5 Long Block range, we are further strengthening our offering for the off-road market,” says Riccardo Rebora, Head of FPT Parts & Service Marketing & Business Development. “This new solution allows us to provide the market with a winning combination of flexibility, guaranteed quality, and competitiveness, supporting our customers and partners with increasingly efficient, value-driven solutions.”
