FPT Industrial is an Italian multinational designer and manufacturer of transmissions, axles, diesel and petrol engines that was established in March 2005 as a Fiat Group division which included all the activities related to powertrains and transmissions.[1] The company was formed following the dissolution of the alliance between Fiat and General Motors.
