AGCO Reports Fuel Efficiency Gains Across Tractor Brands

AGCO reported fuel-efficiency gains across its Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Valtra tractor brands, citing results from independent DLG (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft) PowerMix testing.

The company said the gains are supported by engine development and integrated powertrain solutions from AGCO Power, its power solutions division.

"For farmers, fuel efficiency is about lowering operating costs without sacrificing the performance and reliability they need during critical fieldwork," said Kari Aaltonen, Director, Engineering, AGCO Power. "Across our brands, AGCO Power focuses on engineering engines and integrated powertrains that deliver measurable efficiency gains in real working conditions."

AGCO said its AGCO Power CORE engine family is used in several Fendt Vario series tractors, including the CORE50 in the Fendt 600 Vario series and the CORE75 in the Fendt 700 Vario Gen7 series. According to the company, independent testing of the Fendt 700 Vario series showed fuel-efficiency performance in both field and transport applications.

In recent DLG PowerMix testing, the Massey Ferguson 8S.265 Xtra Dyna E-Power ranked first overall for fieldwork in its category. AGCO said the results reflect the combination of AGCO Power engine technology with Massey Ferguson transmission and tractor design.

Across the Valtra tractor lineup, AGCO Power engines are paired with efficiency-focused driveline systems. The company said Valtra's EcoPower operating philosophy is designed to maintain high torque at lower engine speeds, helping reduce fuel consumption in field and transport applications. Valtra also uses a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system that contributes to improved fuel consumption compared with previous engine generations.

According to AGCO, fuel-efficiency gains across its tractor brands result from the combination of AGCO Power engine technology and brand-specific tractor and powertrain integration.
