Valtra is to introduce the AIRES air-suspended front axle option on the Valtra N Series range in 2019.
Air suspension is widely used on commercial vehicles, but on tractors it has been a unique Valtra feature for the last 25 years. An air-suspended front axle offers a faster response and better shock absorption level particularly in fast axle movements and...
Smart solutions for hybrid and pure electric powertrains & vehicle systems
Electrification is a growing trend within agricultural technology for a variety of reasons. Upcoming stringent emission legislation, NVH, and renewable energy are just some of the reasons to pursue e-drive solutions.
Furthermore, due to global population growth, a higher degree of productivity, efficiency, and accuracy is required than ever before....
Deutz and John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) have announced plans to jointly develop and source components for a low horsepower range engine up to 130kW. Working together, the parties will be able to develop an engine that provides customers additional and exceptional value upon initial purchase while retaining the reliability, versatility, and performance they’ve come to expect from John...
Weight reduction remains a primary focus for vehicles to achieve lower CO2 emissions. FEV has collaborated with various partners on its LeiMot project (“Lightweight Engine”) to demonstrate how much potential internal combustion engines still offer. Major components of a baseline diesel-powered passenger car can be made roughly 21 percent lighter thanks to additive manufacturing methods. At the same time,...
-The E-DEUTZ modular system offers the ideal combination of conventional and electric drive components.
-Significant increases in efficiency lower both overall running costs and emissions.
-Fully functional drive prototypes operating in real-life conditions.
As part of the ELECTRIP Event Week in Cologne between 15 and 21 September, DEUTZ will for the first time be demonstrating the hybrid and full-electric drives from its new...
Peter Russell farms at Lyndhurst on the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. He operates a mixed cropping and grazing property on 350 hectares and runs about 120 Angus breeders in a self-replacing herd. He is he a passionate farmer and also owns and operates a farm machinery dealership so he happens to know a thing or two...
Mild Hybrid Powertrain (P0, P1), a new paradigm in the agricultural equipment sector
By combining an internal combustion engine and a 48 V 20 kW electric motor, this unique powertrain is the ideal solution for agriculture which can guarantee the same advantages as a 100 hp combustion engine while optimizing fuel consumption and reducing emissions.
This is due to a smaller...
In recent years, Volvo Penta has established itself as a leading off-road engine manufacturer in the agricultural industry and has fast become a key OEM partner.
Volvo Penta has come a long way since it first exhibited at Agritechnica in 2013. Its engines are widely used in the agricultural sector, helping to meet emission regulations in harvesters, sprayers, irrigation pumps,...
Caterpillar and Flory Industries, a producer of nut-harvesting equipment, have completed a prototype demonstration project for a battery-powered field elevator. Conducted during the fall harvest season in the Central Valley region of California, the field test successfully showed how a 600-volt battery-powered powertrain can deliver the performance, reliability and durability currently provided in this application by a conventional 74-horsepower...
The Environmental Protection Agency has established scaled standards to restrict emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and non-methane hydrocarbons. These standards have been implemented in stages over the last 24 years. The latest and most restrictive EPA standard for stationary diesel engines today is Tier 4 Final, which reduces emissions up to 99 percent compared to previous...
