The new Iveco Cursor 825, is a state-of-the-art engine – designed specifically to meet the planning needs of high speed hulls. This new engine will be premiered at the International Boat show in Genoa 2006.This is the latest innovation to be borne in the Marine Sector of Iveco Motors, a brand of Fiat Powertrain Technologies.

The Marine sector at Iveco Motors, a brand of Fiat Powertrain Technologies (the Fiat Group division specialising in research, development and production of clean, innovative engines for automotive, industrial, marine and power generation applications), will be present as usual with a large stand at the 46th International Boat Show in Genoa (7/15 October 2006).

More than 2300 boats will be on display, with over 400 boats in the water; and more than 1650 exhibitors for a unique, very wide ranging spread of products: boats, accessories, marine equipment, technical clothing, tourism, services, meeting and conventions, sport activities, entertainment. This is the make up of 46th International Boat Show, to be held next 7 through 15 October at Fiera di Genova. The International Boat Show is set to become even greater and more impressive, thanks to the new basin, currently being constructed, which will double the available expositive areas in the water, and help the show become more defined, with eclearer new product arrangement and subdivisions.
 

The 46th International Boat Show will also be enriched by Tech Trade, considerably changed and renewed, thus becoming a real "Show within the Show" entirely dedicated to marine equipments and nautical accessories. Diving equipment manufactures will make their debut in this area. The long-awaited boat show is thus the ideal occasion for presenting the new Cursor 825 engine which continues the upgrading process implemented over the last five years involving the entire “Industrial & Marine” range of Iveco Motors.

Specifically, the range of marine engines comprises 5 families, grouped by outputs (from 20 to 2.400 HP) and around thirty products representing the new generation of engines for pleasure boating and professional applications. All engines in the range are characterised by high-quality marine components, multi-valve cylinder systems, advanced mechanical and electronic systems (with injector – pump system or Common Rail system) and integrated electronic control. The Cursor 825's main technical features: Power – 825 HP (607 kW) at 2400 rpm; displacement – 12.9 l; 6 cylinders in line; Injector – pump system; and  electronic management.

The Genoa Show is the ideal occasion for the premiere of expected development of a well established product the Cursor 770, that until today was the largest and most powerful engine in the Cursor range and the highest expression of automotive experience and engineering at Iveco Motors. Ideal for mid-size flat yachts (14–17 metres), the Cursor 825 ensures – compared to its famous predecessor – power upgraded by more than 7%. This performance is achieved thanks to turbo MN07-06E 09.14.2006 optimisation, retaining the dual parallel turbine set–up but with the addition of Waste–Gate valves. All this brings about improvements in torque, power and marine performances in general, for even more impressive results for flat hulls and cruising speeds. All this, naturally, at comparable overall dimensions and weights, with special emphasis on the dynamic requirements of pleasure craft.

Like all the other engines in the Cursor family, the 825 model also boasts excellent reliability, durability and flexibility, together with high performance, low operating costs and reduced gas and noise emissions. By exploiting the potential of modern electronic control technologies to the full, Cursor engines achieve new balance between performance and efficiency, highlighted by the availability of torque and power over a broad range of engine speeds. The adoption of a new turbo system, combined with Waste–Gate devices, optimises performances and reduces operating costs.

The new product presented here come from the Industrial & Marine division of Iveco Motors – FPT, that includes avant–garde engines in terms of technological content and high performance, achieved thanks to constant Research & Development and engineering activities. These activities take in the entire sector and are provided by the Fiat Research Centre and Elasis.
