FPT Industrial has been selected as the preferred powertrain supplier for the new WiderCat 92 hybrid catamaran. Two FPT Industrial N67 570 EVO 349kW variable-speed engines are combined with twin electric motors – each delivering 500kW – in a serial hybrid propulsion system, complete with an LFP battery pack for energy storage. The entire propulsion system provides a cruising speed of 12kts. Hybrid mode enables the catamaran to travel up to 1,700 nautical miles at a speed of 6kts. Full-electric cruising, on the other hand, provides a range of 24 nautical miles at 6kts with zero emissions, or the same battery power can provide 15 hours run time without charging when anchored. Solar panels installed on WiderCat 92 can deliver energy self-sufficiency for the night, thanks to the battery storage.

The N67 570 EVO engines feature advanced electronic common rail systems and provide high, constant power and torque delivery, reliability, and low fuel consumption. Layout and specific settings are focused on marine duties. Both engine and turbocharging cooling systems are specifically optimized for high-power missions.

Wider is an Italian yacht builder, and a leading pioneer of the serial hybrid propulsion system on board luxury yachts. Wider yachts are designed and built with a strong focus on efficiency, significantly reducing fuel consumption, noise and vibrations. Founded in 2010, the shipyard is now led by Marcello Maggi, head of the holding company W-Fin Sarl. Wider’s facilities are based on the eastern coast of Italy: the Wider Vision Hub and new headquarters in Fano, and the Superyacht Hub in Venice, where superyachts and full-custom projects are built. In Dubai in 2022, Wider unveiled the WiderCat 92, the first multihull in the shipyard’s history. The first units of the WiderCat 92 were launched in early 2024, with a premiere for the WiderCat 92 at the Venice Boat Show.
