A well thought-out, sustainable system: An e-combination of tractor, range extender and hoe

The “Farm to Fork” strategy of the European Green Deal combines three targets: reducing the use of crop protection products by 50 per cent, drastically cutting CO2 emissions and increasing the number of organic businesses by 25 per cent by 2030. To allow farmers to reach these targets, Fendt has conceived a combination of the battery-electric Fendt e100 Vario with a range extender and an electrically-powered hoe. By using Green Energy and with minimal CO2 emissions the use of crop protection products is significantly reduced at the same time. Fendt has developed the unit consisting of tractor and hoe together with Lauwen Agro Engineering. The range extender was created in a partnership between AGCO Power and BlueWorld. The overall concept of the combination also forms the basis for future autonomous operation.

New camera system for Fendt combine harvesters

Controlling large combine harvesters in combination with a header trailer is challenging. Firstly, roads are often narrow or winding, and secondly, drivers cannot easily see the rear part of the machine and the header trailer. Fixed cameras and side mirrors cannot cover the entire area behind the machine when cornering and lose sight of the header trailer. Fendt has developed the new, autodynamic DYNAMIC SMART VISION camera system for tracking the header trailer. Other innovations for the Fendt combines include Fendt TI Headland, a dust extraction system as well as more power for the Fendt IDEAL 7 and new tyre options.
