New Holland Unveils Methane-Powered Tractor
USAgNet - 09/19/2017

A sustainable vision for the future of farming was unveiled at the recent Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois. It came proposed in the form of a methane powered concept tractor from New Holland Agriculture, which was presented to the show's audience and online viewers around the world in a live broadcast from the New Holland stand.

Developed by the New Holland design and engineering teams, this concept is a clear departure from anything seen to date in the industry. It combines alternative fuels and advanced agricultural technology with readily available powertrain innovation from CNH Industrial sister brand FPT Industrial. The concept's powertrain develops the same power and torque as its standard diesel counterpart, meaning identical infield performance.

CNH Industrial's brands are forerunners and market leaders in the development and commercializing of natural gas-powered vehicles. Biomethane represents the latest phase in the Company's alternative fuels strategy. It particularly suits on-farm use by agricultural vehicles as farmers already possess the raw materials and the space to produce the gas. This enables agribusinesses not only to be fuel sufficient, but also energy sufficient.
