Isotta Fraschini Motori S.p.A., a Fincantieri Company, has headquarters and factory in Bari - Italy.
The company is involved in the markets for diesel engines, generator sets and integrated energy systems, starting from the initial design, to manufacturing and after sales service and up to life cycle maintenance programs.
The company operates worldwide and has a qualified reference list in naval- and land-based applications.
Two families of modern high-speed diesel engines - 1300 series and 1700 series - cover a range from 250 to 2 200 kW for both marine, mobile, railway and industrial applications.
Isotta Fraschini Motori has recently implemented new policies and initiatives in terms of organization, sales, and research and development of the products; it also improved efficiency in the production plant. By applying these policies it has been possible to reorganize the production area: significant investments have taken place to develop new products with the aim to improve reliability and performances, reduce emissions, and allow the use of alternative fuels.
Among the latest developments: the new production area, recently completed, which incorporates the engine and gen-set assembly area; the testing cells for gen-sets up to 3 000 kW; the new Development and Innovation center know as CIS (Centro Innovazione e Sviluppo) that has been completed and is now fully operational. It is the base for Isotta Fraschini Motori’s pathway to Zero Carbon.
The main projects of Isotta Fraschini Motori's IFuture program are all underway and are meeting their deadlines:
- the development of industrial engines for power generation has reached its second stage and the 12 V 170 G engine is on the test bed and will be ready for market from 01 June 2023
- the Remote Monitoring Management is being field tested and will surely be a great asset, increasing engine reliability thanks to its predictive maintenance program
- the other projects are very challenging: the first fuel cell is in field testing, while components for the new engine are arriving for engine assembly; testing is expected to start in the first quarter of 2024
