New Holland Agriculture: TIER 4A solutions tailored to every range
InfoWeb Marketplace · Editorial teamPublished on 26 February 2010 · 2 min read
New Holland has always worked with farmers' concerns and the challenges of the future in mind, and was therefore ahead of the others in addressing the issue of clean energy. Since 2006, the brand has thus been a pioneer in the use of biodiesel in agricultural machinery. In 2009, New Holland developed the widely acclaimed NH2TM tractor, the first to use hydrogen fuel cells. At the same time, the brand designed an energy-independent farm program, opening up to farmers a future path to energy independence with no polluting emissions.
2011 will mark a new turning point for all manufacturers, since medium- and high-power engines above 174 ch (130 kW) will have to comply with Tier 4A emission standards.
Here again, New Holland will be at the forefront of the industry with innovative, easy-to-use and high-performing solutions that respect the environment.
Pierre Lahutte, the new Global Marketing and Communication Director of New Holland, believes that ?a universal solution cannot meet the needs of modern agriculture.? He explains: ?We are committed to integrating the best available engine technology, best suited to each machine and each application.? This is why New Holland has chosen catalytic exhaust technology with urea injection (SCR) for machines equipped with engines of more than 100 ch, and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) for engines with outputs below 100 ch.
These solutions were developed with Fiat Powertrain Technologies, the pioneer of environmentally friendly engines. This partner has already built more than 100 000 ?Cursor? and ?Nef? engines that actually use SCR technology, real-world experience that has helped to advance and refine the technology. Operating costs have thus been reduced, while improving productivity and meeting emission standards at a competitive price.
SCR technology is an aftertreatment system that works independently of the engine's main function. There is no negative effect on engine power, which is in fact improved. The SCR system uses a catalyst that treats the nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gases; an active, odorless mixture of urea and pure water chemically converts these gases into harmless water and nitrogen. The system is simple to use and only requires the operator to fill the dedicated tank with the additive, which will be available through an extensive distribution network and can easily be stored on the farm.
?Furthermore, SCR technology can be taken further to offer our customers the most reliable, most advantageous and cutting-edge products when even stricter future legal emission requirements become applicable to the agricultural machinery industry,? says Pierre Lahutte. ?By implementing SCR technology at the very start of 2011, New Holland has already made research and development investments that will prove essential in enabling us to meet the requirements of the final Tier 4B standard.
Now that we have the technology that meets legal requirements, we will be able to focus our research and development investments on the next generation of agricultural machinery, which will redefine the notions of efficiency, comfort and performance that our customers will demand of us.?
