Claas is at the forefront of advancing sustainable farming practices by introducing innovative solutions such as fully electric powertrains and hydrogen engines. These technologies aim to reduce the carbon footprint of agricultural operations while maintaining performance standards. Collaborating with industry leaders in a research project funded by Germany’s Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Claas is exploring the use of hydrogen engines in heavy machinery. The company also promotes alternative fuels like HVO diesel, derived from waste oils and fats, as a renewable and low-emission option. Additionally, Claas is investing in fully electric equipment like the Scorpion telehandler to cater to farmyard tasks. Dr. Martin von Hoyningen-Huene, Claas’s Chief Technology Officer, emphasizes the importance of using the right technology for different applications, noting the suitability of electric drives for lighter tasks and hydrogen/sustainable fuels for heavy-duty machinery. Claas's efforts showcase a positive outlook on the adoption of clean technologies in agriculture.
