CNH Begins Production of TREM V Engines at Greater Noida Plant

CNH has started manufacturing TREM V-compliant 2.8L engines at its new plant in Greater Noida, expanding its local production capabilities for agriculture and construction equipment in India. The facility, spanning 7,000 square meters within CNH's 60-acre campus, has an annual production capacity of 20,000 units.

The F28 engine, licensed from FPT Industrial of Iveco Group, has been localized for the Indian market and will initially power construction equipment meeting CEV V emission norms. The company plans to extend its application to agricultural equipment when TREM V emission standards are implemented.

Narinder Mittal, President and Managing Director of CNH India, said the new engine production demonstrates the company's commitment to manufacturing solutions in India while meeting environmental compliance requirements.

The plant incorporates digital and AI-driven technologies, including robotic component cleaning and an operator guidance system. The engine's design focuses on reducing vibration and friction to improve fuel efficiency in under-hood applications.

CNH, which has operated in India for over 25 years, markets its products through the Case IH, New Holland, and CASE Construction Equipment brands. The company also maintains CNH Capital for financial services and operates a Global Technology Center in the country.

This expansion in engine manufacturing capabilities comes as India's construction and agricultural equipment sectors face increasing demands for environmentally compliant powertrains. CNH's investment in local production aligns with the industry's shift toward meeting stricter emission standards while maintaining performance requirements.
