AGCO Beauvais Engineering Leads Consortium for Next-Gen Hydrogen Tractor
Key Ideas
  • AGCO Beauvais Engineering heads consortium Arhystote for smart hydrogen storage tanks for tractors.
  • AGCO aims to develop a Massey Ferguson hydrogen demonstrator tractor by 2026, focusing on sustainability.
  • Partners like Cetim, IPC, IFTH, Raigi, and OliKrom join in the development with specific expertise.
  • The project, supported by €4.4 million and the French state, is a step towards reducing development costs and advancing hydrogen technology in agriculture.
AGCO Beauvais Engineering, a French division of AGCO Corporation, is leading a consortium named Arhystote to develop smart hydrogen storage tanks for hydrogen tractors. The project, aimed at sustainable farming solutions, includes the development of a Massey Ferguson hydrogen demonstrator tractor by 2026. Partners like Cetim, IPC, IFTH, Raigi, and OliKrom will contribute their expertise to the project. The tractor prototype will feature a hydrogen internal combustion engine, offering zero emissions at exhaust. The concept leverages AGCO Power engine capabilities while reducing development costs due to similarities with diesel engines. The project, funded with €4.4 million and supported by the French state through France 2030 and ADEME, signifies a significant step in advancing hydrogen technology in agriculture.
