Note: Other biofuels include renewable heating oil, renewable jet fuel (sustainable aviation fuel), renewable naphtha and
gasoline, and other biofuels and biointermediates. Through 2020, also includes small amounts of biobutanol.
In 2022, 1.62 billion gallons of biodiesel, 1.50 billion gallons of renewable diesel, and 200 million
gallons of other biofuels were produced in the U.S.
Compared to its
predecessor, the
XC13 natural gas
variant gains 9%
power and 10%
torque, consumes
up to 8% less fuel,
and improves
braking power by
300%.
Engine makeovers
FPT Industrial engineers designed a
new heavy-duty engine that makes
gains in performance and braking
power while lowering fuel consumption
and weight when compared to its
predecessor. The XCursor 13 (XC13),
which is FPT's first single-base multifuel
engine, also meets 2025 European
Union CO2
duty trucks. " It's easily the most exciting
time within our industry since its
TRUCK & OFF-HIGHWAY ENGINEERING
inception, " said Ivan Tate, technical
center director for FPT Industrial,
headquartered in Turin, Italy.
The new 13-L inline 6-cylinder XC13
reduction targets for heavyhas
compacted graphite iron castings
for the cylinder block and cylinder
heads. " This enables us to be lighter
but also more rigid, " Tate said, adding
that the materials change also helps
with emissions and the amount of cylinder
pressure that can be maintained.
Friction reduction resulted from using
new materials for the connecting rod
