CNH Industrial debuts world’s first Liquefied Natural Gas tractor
prototype
London, December 9, 2022
CNH Industrial unveiled the next step in
alternative power for agriculture at its Tech Day
event in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. New Holland Agriculture, one of our
global agricultural brands, presented the T7 Methane Power
LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) pre-production prototype
tractor.
Another world first for
farmingMore sustainable, energy independent and
productive
New Holland is the alternative fuels leader in
agriculture - having developed the first commercialized Compressed
Natural Gas (CNG) tractor - the T6 Methane Power. The new T7
prototype furthers the Brand’s position, driving greater value for
our customers. It more than doubles the autonomy
compared to a CNG design. In comparison to the T6 Methane Power
CNG, this is a fourfold increase in fuel capacity. It delivers the
same power and torque as the equivalent diesel tractor while
delivering autonomy without the need for any extra tanks. It’s also
quieter – a significant reduction in drive-by noise levels makes it
perfect for tasks near livestock or in urban areas.
To spearhead this latest development, CNH
Industrial partnered with Bennamann, a UK-based expert whose
multi-patented approach converts fugitive methane to clean biofuel
– offering an energy independent and sustainable farm system. When
the T7 prototype is integrated within this process, an operation’s
overall carbon footprint can be ‘better than
zero.’ Bennamann’s
system also provides new opportunities and revenue streams for
farmers. These include fuel production at a stable cost; sale of
excess biomethane on the open market; generation of 100% natural
fertilizer; and conversion of excess methane into electricity for
export or local use.
The new technology present in the T7
Methane Power LNG has been put through its paces on a
variety of farms across myriad applications. This premiere is the
first step towards the serial production and commercialization of
the world’s first LNG tractor. A tractor that will make our
customers more sustainable, energy independent and productive –
true to our purpose of Breaking New Ground.
