FPT INDUSTRIAL TO SHOWCASE ITS LATEST INNOVATIONS FOR POWER GENERATION AT MIDDLE EAST ENERGY - Middle East Business News and Information
FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production, and sale of powertrains and solutions for on- and off-road vehicles, as well as marine and power generation applications, headed to Dubai to exhibit at Middle East Energy, one of the most reputable and long-established events in the energy industry, held from April 7 to 9. The brand was present alongside its distributor network at Booth S2.C40, where it showcased a selection of its offerings for the power generation segment. Conscious of the responsibilities that come with being a leading manufacturer of engines, FPT Industrial continued to advance sustainability projects, a theme that became increasingly central to the brand's strategy and engine lineup. This strong and unwavering commitment was also reflected in the way the brand participated in trade shows around the world. As with all global events it attended in 2024, FPT Industrial proudly exhibited at Middle East Energy 2025 with a carbon-neutral booth. This ambitious practice encompassed every step of the booth's production and required a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a 'cradle-to-grave' approach that evaluated the cumulative potential environmental impacts of a product, process, or service. As a trusted engine manufacturer, FPT Industrial stood at the forefront of the power generation industry, with over 30,000 units sold globally each year. The brand offered an extensive engine portfolio ranging from 2.4 to 16 liters, all of which complied with global emission standards, from the strictest to those in unregulated markets, ensuring superior performance across various applications. Whether used for stationary backup or mobile prime power, these engines were engineered to meet a broad range of power generation requirements, delivering reliability and efficiency. A Look at the Power Generation Range : Guaranteed Reliability, Performance, and Efficiency The brand's power generation line-up saw a significant expansion over the past year, with the addition of two new engines to the dedicated range. The first was the R24, which was originally set to be announced during the previous edition of Middle East Energy, later canceled due to adverse weather conditions. The second, which took center stage at this year's event, was the R38. This engine was a new 3.8 l turbocharged engine developed as a cost-effective solution for unregulated applications, designed for both power generation and industrial power unit line-ups and covering 50-60 kVA and 55-65 kW outputs, respectively. The R38 featured G-Drive, the brand's quick-to-market solution with cooling pack and filters already installed. It was equipped with a robust, proven, and reliable mechanical injection system, while maintenance was facilitated and sped up thanks to the single-side servicing. For the power generation version, the R38 was switchable from 1,500 rpm to 1,800 rpm to minimize OEMs' stock requirements. The flexibility that defined the R38 made it ideally suited to a broad range of applications, from stationary backup to mobile prime power. R38 Power Generation – Technical Specifications Engine Displacement (liters): 3.8 Cylinder Arrangement: in-line 4 Standby Power (kVA): 59 – 70 Prime Power (kVA): 54 – 65 Emissions standard: UR Complete specifications were available on FPT Industrial's website. At the booth, visitors also had the opportunity to discover the MyFPT products and services portfolio by FPT Industrial Customer Service supporting power generation solutions, including genuine spare parts, the FPT co-branded range of fluids developed in collaboration with Petronas Lubricants International, and the Connected Solutions. Middle East Energy provided a new opportunity for attendees to discover FPT Industrial's extensive distributor network: companies from all over the world standing by the brand as well as its customers, meeting their every need from engine purchases to maintenance. From long-established distributors to the newest additions, each member of the network played a crucial role in keeping the brand's technological excellence and pure innovation at the service of customers.

Eskom's employee costs jump from R38,000 to R913,000
Eskom's average cost per employee has increased dramatically over the past three decades, rising from R38,000 in 1990 to R913,000 in 2024. This exponential increase has contributed significantly to the growing strain on electricity pricing in South Africa. According to Business Tech , the cost per employee, which grew by almost 1,000%, has a significant impact on the price of electricity. The price of electricity has increased by 190% since 2014. Eskom is reportedly producing less electricity than before, despite its rising operational costs. Business Tech reported that a 2014 World Bank report showed that Eskom had the largest workforce among sub-Saharan African countries. Eskom has around 41,787 employees. It said that only 14,244 employees were needed, meaning Eskom was 66% overstaffed. The World Bank calculated a ratio of one worker for every 413 electricity users. In 2023, Eskom employees received a 7% increase. ESKOM: GRID STABILITY REMAINS INTACT Eskom has reassured South Africans that the national power grid remains stable despite rising winter electricity demand. Between 1 April and 8 May, Eskom's Unplanned Capacity Loss Factor (UCLF) declined to 27.99%, marking a 1.2% improvement from the same timeframe in the previous year. The utility also reported an increase in planned maintenance, which now accounts for 6,904MW, or 14.76% of total generation capacity. Eskom explained that the power system is supported by sufficient emergency reserves, which are strategically used to manage high winter peak periods.
