The Cursor X marine configuration

The winning entry was presented together with the Marine Configuration of the Cursor X, FPT Industrial’s 4.0 Modular Engine Concept for a sustainable future. The Red Horizon project is presented within a unique environment, whose design is inspired by the automotive world, luxury cars and villas, and vintage Italian boats, resulting in a comfortable bridge with a touch of minimalism, where customers can feel at home. 

David Wilkie said

“When designing a new object, the basic idea is to create something memorable, so we worked with this in mind,” explains David Wilkie, Head of the CNH Industrial Design Center. “The result is a recipe where technology, elegance and top-of-the-line materials are perfectly balanced.  Being recognized together with the world’s top brands and product designers is not only both a great honor and source of satisfaction, but also powerful motivation to continue on our marine design journey.”
