UFI Filters, a leading company in filtration, thermal management and technologies for the development of hydrogen mobility, has produced a new filtration module supplied to FPT Industrial as original equipment for the new Cursor XC13 engine. This is a top of the range heavy-duty on-road vehicle powertrain with a displacement of 13 litres and a power output of up to 600 hp that is used in many commercial vehicle and agricultural applications.

The new UFI Filters filtration module allows a concentration of technologies that integrate both the filter and the diesel pre-filter in the same component. Its main innovations include the very high separation performance of water from diesel fuel that reaches up to 96% and is achieved by the pre-filter module. This water can then be discharged separately from the diesel fuel via an automatic system operated from the vehicle's cab. The module also uses lightweight materials with an optimised design, which contribute to reducing the weight of the vehicle. The module is also equipped with a thermostatic valve, a non-return valve and two valves to facilitate service operations, developed and manufactured by UFI. In addition, a suite of high-tech pressure and temperature sensors measure the working conditions of the different circuits.

UFI Filters' new filtration module is instrumental in reducing the weight of vehicles fitted with the new Cursor XC13, and thus contributing to their sustainability. In the construction of the module, UFI uses aluminium and technical polymers (such as polyamide) to keep the weight down. The pre-filter is made with the synthetic filter media FormulaUFI.Extreme coupled with a hydrophobic inner septum, so that a water separation capacity of up to 96%, according to ISO 16332, is guaranteed.

For FPT Industrial Cursor XC13 engines, UFI Filters also supplies a new rotary type blow-by filter, developed as an evolution of existing products in the UFI filtration system range. Made with filter media FormulaUFI.Micron, it offers high filtration capacities of even the smallest particles, helping to maintain low emissions throughout the vehicle's life.
