Description
This project brings together a consortium to improve the performance, autonomy and efficiency of the New
Holland concept gas tractor in order to overcome significant technical challenges and bring it to a point of
comparison with conventional diesel powered tractors at a commercially viable cost.
The tractor is to be as close to a diesel as possible in terms of physical appearance and performance so as to
be a realistic option. The main objective being to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of tractors used on
farm and within the wider community, such as municipal use. As there is a great demand for carbon
neutralisation and high pressure on farmers to be environmentally friendly, this tractor would be a route to
achieve this. The link with Anaerobic Digestion plants (and the potential for energy independent farms)
provides a further significant environmental impact opportunity.
