FPT Industrial, Iveco Group’s brand specializing in powertrains and solutions for on- and off-road vehicles, marine applications and power generation will take part in the 66th Genoa International Boat Show from October 1 to 6, 2026. The event is among the world’s leading yachting showcases and celebrates the excellence of Italy’s marine industry.
FPT Industrial will use the occasion to underline the strategic importance of the event and the recreational marine-engine segment, exhibiting together with its three Italian distributors: AS Labruna, Bimotor, and Naval Motor Botti.
FPT’s growth strategy in the recreational segment is built on six decades of experience and a well-established reputation in the commercial marine sector. Today, the Brand engines power a wide range of vessels: patrol boats, passenger ferries, workboats, and charter boats, serving customers all around the world. The Brand is also a trusted partner of institutional operators responsible for safety and security at sea, including coast guards, customs and law enforcement authorities, and fire and rescue services. The demanding requirements of these specific applications have contributed to shaping the core strengths that distinguish the marine offering: proven reliability, long-lasting durability, high performance, and operational efficiency.
Building on this solid foundation, FPT Industrial is further strengthening its presence in the recreational market, bringing the same engineering excellence and proven technologies that have earned the trust of commercial operators and leading shipyards worldwide.

This commitment is also reflected in FPT’s recent entry into Confindustria Nautica, the Italian Marine Industry Association, and in its growing focus on collaborations with new shipyards, as part of a broader strategy aimed at fostering long-term partnerships across the marine industry and supporting the continued growth of the recreational boating segment.
Visitors to the stand YP65 will be greeted by a remarkable innovation: the C16 1000 presented for the first time with the exclusive topcover by Van Orton, the renowned Italian creative duo whose vibrant, impactful pop style is globally recognized. Launched at Agritechnica 2025, the partnership between FPT and Van Orton is thus now expanding to marine engines as well.
Operating in the marine propulsion sector since 1965, FPT offers a comprehensive range of best-in-class engines spanning 3 to 15.9 liters in displacement, with power outputs from 85 to 1,000 hp. Built to power 25-to-80 ft vessels, FPT’s marine portfolio caters to a wide range of applications, from pleasure craft to light-, medium-, and heavy-duty commercial boats.
Every day in Italy, two new boats powered by FPT marine engines are launched. FPT Industrial supports its customers worldwide through a network of 375 marine service points, more than 200 of which are located in the Mediterranean region and over 80 in North America, with the remaining sites covering key marine markets across the rest of the world. This extensive service footprint ensures prompt response times, minimizes downtime and provides customers with continuous, reliable support wherever they operate.
Last but not least, starting from the Genoa International Boat Show 2026, FPT makes available a free-of-charge five-year warranty for its marine engines dedicated to pure recreational applications. The warranty extension is a great example of the trust that the Brand places in its engines and the respect it has for its customers. The warranty is available for customers across the EMEA region and provides global coverage.
CURSOR 16 1000 – The record-breaking engine delivering top reliability and durability
Winner of the world water speed record for a diesel-powered vessel, a record that remains unbeaten to this day, the CURSOR 16 continues its strong momentum across global markets. Marine professionals rely on this engine for its straightforward maintenance and exceptional efficiency, which translate into highly competitive operating costs. Delivering power outputs from 815 to 1,000 hp, it guarantees smooth installation, outstanding performance, quiet operation, and best-in-class, long-term reliability. These qualities have made the CURSOR 16 the ideal choice to power planing motor yachts and sport-fishing vessels up to 70 feet for almost 10 years.
C16 1000 – Van Orton cover limited edition
The new fruit of FPT’s collaboration with Van Orton is a striking engine cover, made by employing their peculiar, kaleidoscopic perspective to create a unique visual narrative, inspired by the groundbreaking Pop Art movement of artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. The result masterfully blends precision engineering with artistic vision, giving the usually “undercover” FPT engines one more reason to be admired.
