New Holland’s methane powered tractor

FEATURES


The New Holland T6 Methane Power is the world’s first 100% methane powered production tractor, and is key to completing the virtuous cycle of the Energy Independent FarmSM system.

Farmers grow crops and use waste products to generate biomethane, which powers the tractor, which, in turn, helps to grow those very crops.

Proven Engineering

The T6 Methane Power can trace its roots back to the renowned T6 range of tractors. This outstanding design has now been enhanced with a 6 cylinder, 145hp rated / 175hp Boosted Natural Gas engine, which is coupled to the proven Electro Command™ four-speed semi-powershift transmission.

True sustainability

With the same levels of power and torque as its diesel equivalent, you also benefit from up to 30% lower running costs. Producing 98% less particulate matter, reducing CO2 emissions by 11% and overall emissions by 80%, when using biomethane near-zero CO2 emissions are achievable.

Tested and ready to work

Since the first prototype in 2013, New Holland has continuously tested Methane Powered tractor prototypes around the world. Since 2021 the first production tractors have started to appear in fields near you.
