New Holland Hydrogen Tractor

New Holland Agriculture has developed the NH2, a hydrogen-powered tractor.

The experimental NH2 tractor was developed as part of New Holland Agricultures Energy Independent Farm concept in which farmers will produce their own compressed hydrogen from water using electricity produced by wind farms, solar panels, or biomass and biogas processes situated on the farm.

The traditional combustion engine is replaced with hydrogen fuel cells that convert compressed hydrogen back into electricity to drive the electric motors powering the tractors drive train and auxiliary systems.

The NH2 is a 106-horsepower working prototype able to perform all the tasks of a New Hollands T6000 tractor only with no emission and in near silence.

The fuel cell generates less heat than an internal-combustion engine, offers a consistent output of power, and does not produce polluting nitrogen oxides, soot particles, or carbon dioxide. The clean operation of the tractor brings added health benefits when working in confined areas, such as animal sheds or greenhouses.
