1 Paris, April 2012 FPT INDUSTRIAL PRESENTS ITS FULL RANGE OF TIER 4 FINAL/STAGE IV ENGINES FOR CONSTRUCTION APPLICATIONS AT INTERMAT FPT Industrial is present at Intermat (Paris, April 16 21, Pavilion 5A, stand J 144) with its full range of Tier 4 Final/Stage IV engines for construction applications. The booth of the Italian company, one of the most important producers of engines for industrial applications, is located inside a 3,600sqm exhibition area totally dedicated to the Fiat Industrial Group. The FPT industrial offer in the construction sector is based on the F5, NEF and CURSOR engine families, ranging from 40 to 500 kw ( HP). The technological excellence and lean design of these products result, for the customer, in top performance, low operating costs and high reliability. To comply with the forthcoming Tier 4 Final/Stage IV regulations on emissions, FPT Industrial s choice is the SCR-Only technology for engines in off-road applications. Thanks to combustion optimization and development in the exhaust gas aftertreatment system, the new engines will occupy a leadership position in terms of efficiency, robustness and quality, whilst at the same time improving its environmental impact. FPT Industrial has achieved a reduction of more than 95% of NOx emissions, thanks to the implementation of a specifically developed software in combination with the High Efficiency SCR after-treatment hardware. The company's commitment to continuous innovation to satisfy the needs of its customers brings considerable benefits. In addition to a reduction in operating costs throughout the lifecycle of the product, FPT Industrial's SCR-Only technology guarantees one of the most reliable and fuel efficient engines. Great attention has also been given to ease of installation and system flexibility. In case of packaging constraints typical for small sized industrial machines and for low displacement engines, the Company can adopt a different approach, using a small SCR system together with a light externally cooled EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation).

2 Also in this approach, the absence of the DPF filter, in line with our aftertreatment philosophy, allows for reduced maintenance costs and easier integration of the powertrain. FPT Industrial s High Efficiency SCR system: Diesel engines, because of the chemistry of combustion, produce pollutants like NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) and Particulate (PM) that are damaging the environment. The possible strategies for reducing them are: - A combination of EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) together with DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). - A combination of EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) together with DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). - A combination of DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). The use of the EGR system reduces the NOx emissions in the combustion chamber, through exhaust gas recirculation with a consequential increase in the production of particulate, a reduction in combustion efficiency and the need for a a DOC or DPF. FPT Industrial has chosen instead to increase the engine efficiency and reduce the particulate produced by the combustion, due to the absence of recirculated exhaust gasses. NOx is then reduced in the exhaust system, thanks to the High Efficiency SCR System, while improving fuel consumption, performance and reliability. FPT Industrial's High Efficiency SCR is able to reduce the NOx levels more than 95%, without having to resort to other systems, such as EGR. The system is composed of: - The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) - The AdBlue dosing module. - The AdBlue mixer - The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) - The Clean Up Catalyst (CUC) The whole system is fitted with a network of integrated sensors to control the NOx and any excess of NH 3 (ammonia) emitted.

3 The SCR-Only technology sees the introduction of a new generation aftertreatment system that is the result of extensive research by FPT Industrial, research that has led to the creation of numerous significant patents for: "Closed" control to allow precise dosing of AdBlue in order to cut the level of NOx emissions. Adaptive AdBlue dosing system thanks to control technology based on the use of NOx and ammonia sensors to provide accurate information on the composition of the exhaust gases. Thermally insulated high turbulence mixing, to allow homogeneous hydrolysis of urea and correct distribution in exhaust gas flow. Improved thermal management to speed up SCR light-off in the cold part of emission cycle The use of these patented new technologies allows to achieve reductions of more than 95% in NOx levels, over the entire engine cycle. The main advantages for customers can be summarized in: Reduction in operating costs over the entire product lifecycle. Reduced engine cooling system. No PM after-treatment resulting in higher reliability and lower maintenance costs. Higher power potential without a mandatory sophisticated air handling system. Compact system allowing to optimize the space available and minimize the weight impact, as many components are integrated. FPT Industrial offer for construction applications The F5 series, a 4 cylinder, 3,4 liter Common Rail engine, featuring a compact layout and a customer oriented design, stands out for low operating costs and extremely easy maintenance thanks to single engine side servicing. These benefits are combined with excellent performance, which allows these engines to be used for the most demanding missions (e.g. high engine inclination, cold starting at temperatures down to -25 C). The NEF Series includes a 4,5 liter engine with four cylinders and a 6,7 liter engine with six cylinders; they cover a power range from 75 to 210 kw ( HP). Developed to satisfy the most demanding customer

4 requirements, the NEF Series is the evidence of FPT Industrial s lean design and technological excellence. Both 4 and 6 cylinder configurations are equipped with a second generation heavy duty Common Rail injection system, allowing to achieve top performance in terms of load response, maximum torque and top power with minimum level of fuel consumption. The NEF Series also stands out for its great flexibility and reliability, thus representing the reference in its category. FPT Industrial showcases at Intermat both the N45 and the N67. The 6 cylinder CURSOR series is available in 8,7 and 12,9 liter versions and covers a power range from 245 to 500 kw ( HP). The CURSOR Series is the right choice for customers requiring high power, fast load response, high power density together with maximum robustness and reliability. Superior performance comes also along with low operating cost. Thanks to continuous research and development activities, the CURSOR Series adopts the most advanced technologies, such as a second generation heavy duty Common Rail injection system, guaranteeing pressures up to 2200 bar. FPT Industrial is present at Intermat with a C9 and a C13 engine. FPT Industrial is also specialized in Power Generation The Power Generation offer of FPT industrial includes engines, G-drives, standard gensets (covering the main applications, such as emergency services and self-generation), special groups, plants and after sales services. The line-up is based on the F5, NEF and CURSOR series, ranging from 30 to 400 kva. FPT Industrial has extended its product portfolio with a wide offer of customized configurations. They are completed with either open or closed power sets equipped with sub-frames, electrical machinery and control panels. Advantages for the final customer include low running costs in continuous operating power and best in class oil intervals (600 hours), reducing the operating costs to a minimum during the entire product life cycle. FPT Industrial is present at Intermat with a soundproofed genset powered by an N45 engine.
