FPT Industrial, the powertrain brand of CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI), is now part of speed record history. Fabio Buzzi, multiple powerboat racing world-champion and CEO of FB Design, has set the fastest speed on water using a diesel engine developed by FPT Industrial and a hull engineered by FB Design. The record, certified by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS, was broken on Wednesday March 7th on Lake Como, Italy seeing the three-point hull reaching a speed of 277.5 Km/h, some 25.5km/h more than the previous record.
