Founded in 2007, and employing some 500 people, SFH is one of the biggest engine manufacturers in China and a pioneer in advanced low-emissions diesel engines. The joint venture manufactures light, medium and heavy vehicle engines for on- and off-road use - including the entire Cursor family for CNH Industrial’s brands - as well as power generation and marine applications at its Chongqing facility. The plant exports some 50% of its production to markets around the world, and is the first engine manufacturer in China to produce power-plants which meet Tier 4 Final and Euro VI emissions regulations for the North American and European markets respectively.

The Chongqing plant is home to the multi-award winning FPT Industrial Cursor 9 engine. In its diesel version, it powers the Case IH Magnum, winner of the “Tractor of the Year 2015” title, and the Iveco Bus Magelys, “International Coach of the Year 2016”. In its Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) version, it is the most powerful 9 liter natural gas engine in the world, powering the Iveco New Stralis NP, the first natural gas truck specifically designed for long-haul operations. Furthermore, the Cursor 9 CNG has recently received the prestigious “Green Innovation” prize at the 2016 China Automotive and Components Industry Innovation Awards
