This includes the new F28 Hybrid, which combines a third-generation 2.8-liter F28 engine with an integrated e-motor within the flywheel housing.

The 700 V architecture is available in both series and parallel configurations to support optimised engine operation and improve overall fuel economy.

According to FTP, the e-motor can deliver 72 kW of continuous power. Parallel operation increases this to 147 kW. Maximum peak power is 170 kW (all power output figures were achieved at 2,300 rpm).

The addition of the e-motor could see the F28 Hybrid replace engines with a larger displacement in a range of applications, including agricultural and off-highway machines.

While the F28 engine can use HVO, which is carbon-zero at point of use, the e-motor will also help to reduce related emissions by using battery power to take load off the engine. The F28 Hybrid is Stage 5/Tier 4 Final compliant.
