We put great emphasis on the efficiency of our products and, according to the DLG Powermix, are the tractor manufacturers with the lowest fleet fuel consumption in the high HP segment. By using our Vario transmission farmers can reduce their fuel consumption by up to ten per cent. In total, that means about 336 million litres per year for all Vario tranmissions in use. This is made possible by environmentally friendly technology: from the demand-oriented fan drive to our low-speed concept and the separate oil circuit for hydraulics and transmission. Thanks to our lightweight construction, we also reduce material and fuel consumption.
Fendt develops and produces intelligent, reliable and resource-efficient products. Fendt offers concrete solutions for climate-friendly and resource-conserving agriculture.
We achieve the strongest impact for environmental sustainability where it counts: with our products. In this way, we help our customers to make an important contribution to a sustainable future and to meet political requirements, for example, those set by the EU Green Deal.
The FendtONE is all about holistic Smart Farming solutions. In addition to optimising yields by using track guidance systems, we also use these solutions to optimise the use of fertiliser, reduce fuel consumption and provide transparency and predictability in the field and in the office.
Fendt e100 Vario
When developing products, we constantly work on new solutions for the agriculture of the future. We are working flat out on developing the award-winning Fendt e100 Vario. The Fendt e100 Vario is a fully-electric driven and thus emissions-free tractor. Not only can our customers optimise their energy costs, but also maintenance and servicing costs. Ecological electricity (solar, wind, biogas) generated on the farm can also be reused directly. We are currently testing this concept in a research project under real conditions with a variety of partners. This also applies to our prototype of a hydrogen-powered tractor.
Fendt Xaver
Another model project is the Fendt Xaver. This system uses small robot units that work in a swarm to precisely plan, monitor and document the sowing of maize with the help of a cloud-based solution. The low weight of the robots means fields are worked particularly sparingly and with the highest security. They also ensure the economical and efficient use of fertiliser or pesticides – around the clock, day and night.
The 11 Gigaton Challenge
Eric Hansotia and the future of agriculture
If we continue as we are, agriculture will produce 15 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide. According to scientific studies, this should be reduced to 4 gigatonnes. "Big changes are needed, and we have been preparing for them for a long time," says AGCO CEO Eric Hansotia.
"We are developing and designing solutions to meet the challenges in agriculture, including battery electric propulsion, hydrogen, hydrogen fuel cells, methane and methanol." In developing our engines, we have managed to reduce harmful particulate emissions as well as nitrogen oxides to a fraction of what they were a decade ago. For several years now, our engines have passed even the most stringent emissions regulations by a significant margin. What's more, our engines are compatible with renewable HVO fuels.
The groundbreaking thing about our latest CORE engine family is that by further developing current diesel engines, they can be made compatible with the alternative fuels of the future.
