Season 1 / Episode 2

Wider spectrum of power video series, episode 2: Future Fuels & Power Sources

When we talk about the wider spectrum of power, the solutions fall under two main categories: electricity and biomass or waste-based green fuels. What are the options for reducing agricultural carbon emissions? In the second episode of our expert video series, Jarno Ratia explains just how wide the wider spectrum is – from battery electric to mild hybrid, and many solutions in between.

Season 1 / Episode 3

Wider spectrum of power video series, episode 3: Journey to Zero Carbon Emissions

Reducing the agricultural carbon emissions will not happen in one giant leap but in several small steps. Also the most practical solution depends on the power class – for example, battery electric power in off-road use is currently feasible only up to 100 horsepower. In the third episode of our expert video series, Jarno Ratia walks us through the roadmap to zero carbon emissions.

Season 1 / Episode 4

Wider spectrum of power video series, episode 4: Roadmap to the future

Where is the road to the future of power leading us? Diesel will be around for many more years, but the range of fuels will have more sustainable options. To navigate confidently towards new technologies, we need a clear strategy. A big picture about the role of each technology in the wider spectrum of power. At AGCO Power, we have outlined a roadmap that shows our vision of the sustainable future of power.

For the fourth episode of our expert video series, we caught our Senior Vice President, Kelvin Bennett, at our Agritechnica booth. If someone knows the future of power, it is him. Let Bennett talk you through our roadmap to the future!

Season 1 / Episode 5

Wider spectrum of power video series, episode 5: Power is at the core

A winning tractor needs a winning engine. AGCO Power CORE75 and CORE50 represent the most advanced diesel technology in the market, pushing the boundaries of engine efficiency and lowering the emission levels. CORE75 was awarded as the Engine of the year in September 2023, and the Fendt 700 series it powers was awarded for its great fuel efficiency in the DLG PowerMix test.

What does the future of engines look like? Tapani Katila, Account Manager at AGCO Power, shows you both members of the powerful, economical and low-emission CORE family.

Season 1 / Episode 6

Wider spectrum of power video series, episode 6: CORE50 eHydrogen – zero-emission power

The necessary radical reduction of agricultural carbon emissions calls for a wider spectrum of power. As one of the potential future solutions, AGCO Power has developed a mild hybrid concept engine that combines the excellent torque and fuel economy of the CORE engine platform with hydrogen fuel system and electric drive train components. The resulting mild hybrid concept engine produces zero-emission power with hydrogen while the electric drive train components provide additional power and torque when needed.

At Agritechnica 2023, AGCO Power presented the CORE50 eHydrogen engine. In the video below, Sub Module Lead Engineer Lauri Nurmela shows us what the future of power looks like.

Season 1 / Episode 7

Wider spectrum of power video series, episode 7: Plug-and-play range extender

Battery electric tractors have clear advantages in certain use cases, and they are becoming a more and more viable option. So far, the available range has been a limiting factor in some operations. At Agritechnica 2023, AGCO Power presented a concept of a plug-and-play range extender that effectively doubles the range of the Fendt e100 Vario tractor from 4 to 8 hours.

In the seventh episode of our expert video series, Hugo Wihersaari shows how a compact unit can convert green ethanol to clean, sustainable electricity – and keep an electric tractor running twice as long. The future is full of possibilities for those with an open mind!

Season 1 / Episode 8

Wider spectrum of power video series, episode 8: AGCO Power Microgrid concept – modular and flexible private power ecosystem

More and more agricultural machinery, vehicles and other functions can be electrified. But the dependency from the grid has its downsides. There can be power outages, price fluctuations or capacity problems. With the AGCO Power Microgrid concept, a farm or a community can take power into their own hands by setting up a modular, flexible local grid with components such as generators, solar cells, batteries, EV charging stations and a smart control of the entire grid. The Microgrid concept makes sure there is always power available at the lowest possible cost.

The Microgrid concept was presented at the Agritechnica 2023 trade fair as a part of our wider spectrum of power philosophy. In the eighth episode of our expert video series, Kari Mettälä talks about the concept and shows the diesel generator featuring the versatile and fuel efficient CORE75 engine. The future of electric power may well be in flexible and resilient local grids!

Season 1 / Episode 9

Wider spectrum of power video series, episode 9: AGCO Power Battery pack for Fendt e100 tractor – charging the emission-free farming

The battery-electric tractor has become a viable alternative for zero-emission farming and tractor contracting in lower power ranges. What’s more, the battery can store any surplus wind or solar power, helping to even out the demand. The heavy-duty 100 kWh battery pack for Fendt e100 V Vario tractor is the first battery electric vehicle solution offered by AGCO Power.At Agritechnica 2023, Timo Kokko was proud to present our compact but powerful battery pack. As a part of our wider spectrum of power, it is one step towards carbon-free farming.

Season 1 / Episode 10

Remanufacturing is the way of the future

At AGCO Power, we build power that lasts. Even with the experimental future technologies, we give a lot of thought to long-term reliability and serviceability. And after many, many working hours, when your engine starts to wear out, we offer a quick and simple swap to our like-new AGCO Power REMAN remanufactured engine. Besides reducing the total cost of machine ownership, our REMAN service also cuts down your carbon footprint.

In the tenth episode of our expert video series, Jussi Rinne talks about the role of remanufacturing in the future of power. It is one piece in the mosaic that forms the zero-carbon future of farming.
