CNH has begun manufacturing of the sophisticated 2.8I TREM V (F28) engine at its Greater Noida facility, expanding its locally sourced, fuel-efficient powertrain solutions for India’s construction and future agricultural industries.

CNH, a global leader in agricultural and construction equipment, announces the start of production at its new engine factory in Greater Noida, marking a significant step forward in the company’s commitment to innovation and localisation. The facility produces the sophisticated 2.8I Trem V engine (specifically the F28), which is designed to power the company’s product line with great performance and efficiency. This cutting-edge worldwide engine has been localised in India, providing a solid and dependable solution for the Indian market.

Narinder Mittal, President and Managing Director, CNH India, says, “The launch of the 2.8l TREM V engine from the state-of-the-art Noida engine plant underscores our dedication to delivering solutions engineered and manufactured in India. This achievement enhances our product offerings and reaffirms CNH’s commitment to innovation and sustainable productivity. This highlights our strategic focus on producing reliable, efficient, and environmentally compliant powertrain solutions that will set new benchmarks for the industry.”

The new 2.8l engine is licensed to CNH by FPT Industrial, Iveco Group’s powertrain subsidiary, demonstrating the two companies’ strong collaboration in pushing innovation and sustainability in powertrain technology. Its small design, which is intended for under-hood applications, improves engine balance, decreases vibration, and minimises friction, all of which contribute to increased fuel efficiency. The innovative engine plant, located on CNH’s 60-acre Greater Noida campus, spans 7,000 square meters and is designed for scalable manufacturing with an annual capacity of up to 20,000 units. Currently, the 2.8l F28 TremV-compatible engine is manufactured for construction equipment (with CEV V standards), with ambitions to expand into agriculture once TREM V emission standards are implemented.

The cutting-edge factory incorporates digital and AI-driven technology, such as an improved operator guidance system and robotic component cleaning, to ensure precision, efficiency, and high-quality results.

For more than 25 years, CNH India has delivered world-class products through its ‘Made in India’ operations. The business operates in the country under the names Case IH, New Holland, and CASE Construction Equipment, as well as the finance arm CNH Capital and the Global Technology Centre.
