The ‘robotic’ transmission that the T3 Electric Power tractor has also ensured smooth operation by allowing the tractor to change gears electronically and automatically.

New Holland has recently revealed its latest agricultural breakthrough at the Konya agricultural fair in Turkey. Say hello to the T3 Electric Power, a state-of-the-art 100% electric tractor that is poised to transform the farming industry. Unveiled on March 5, 2024, this innovative tractor is the culmination of New Holland’s unwavering dedication to pushing the boundaries of technology. It is not just any ordinary tractor – it is compact, efficient, and powered entirely by electricity. This launch marks New Holland‘s second introduction of an electric tractor in less than a year, underscoring their commitment to sustainable farming methods.

What powers this seemingly regular tractor, though? Inside is a sturdy 75 kWh battery pack that can provide 800 volts of high power, which is sufficient to run two electric motors. While the other motor handles the hydraulics and power take-off, the first one powers the wheels. A fantastic achievement for a tractor of this size, the wheel motor produces an amazing 75 kW, or more than 100 horsepower!

An additional ‘robotic’ transmission is available on the T3 Electric Power. It’s not a notion from a science fiction film, so don’t be confused by the phrase. This basically implies that the tractor has the ability to electronically shift gears, guaranteeing smooth running. Additionally, the electric drive system allows for the full torque to be reached at speeds as low as 1 km/h. Additionally, a 40 km/h mode is provided as an alternative for when you need to accelerate.

How, therefore, did New Holland achieve this incredible feat of engineering? They started working on this in 2019. the main obstacle? covering up the large battery pack. They did, however, manage to overcome this obstacle and create a tractor that looks like any other while possessing a strong electric capability. The T3 Electric Power is initially offered as a two-wheel drive variant, but it can be upgraded to four wheels when more traction is required.

Here’s an interesting twist: Turk Traktor, a Turkish company owned by New Holland, is introducing the T3 Electric Power, despite it being New Holland’s invention. Turk Traktor is a company that specializes in manufacturing tractors for the New Holland and Case IH brands, demonstrating their ability to provide superior agricultural equipment.

Excited to experience one of these electric wonders? The wait won’t be too long. The T3 Electric Power is scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter of 2024, debuting initially in Turkey and potentially expanding to Europe later on. As for pricing details, New Holland/Turk Traktor is keeping that information confidential for now. However, one thing is certain – it’s a groundbreaking advancement for farmers embracing environmentally friendly practices.
