New Holland's T3 Electric Power: Compact, electric, robotic, and ready to transform farming for a sustainable future.
At the agricultural fair in Konya, Turkey, New Holland shook up the farming industry with the introduction of the T3 Electric Power, a 100% electric tractor equipped with a 75 kWh battery pack.
This groundbreaking release follows closely on the heels of New Holland's recent foray into electric tractors. The T3 Electric Power is part of the semi-narrow-track tractor category, designed to offer versatility and efficiency on smaller farms.
Underneath its unassuming exterior lies a powerful 75 kWh battery pack, delivering 800 volts of electricity to two electric motors. One motor propels the wheels, boasting a maximum power of 75 kW, while the other drives the hydraulics and power take-off.
Gone are the traditional gears of old. The T3 Electric Power features a 'robotic' transmission, seamlessly shifting electronically to optimize performance. With instant torque available from just 1 km/h, this tractor offers unparalleled responsiveness. Plus, there's an optional 40 km/h speed mode for added versatility.
Development on the T3 Electric Power began in 2019, with the primary challenge being the integration of the battery pack. New Holland's Turkish marketing manager emphasized the importance of concealing this crucial component while maintaining the tractor's functionality.

Excitingly, the T3 Electric Power is set to hit the market in the fourth quarter of 2024, initially launching in Turkey before potentially expanding to Europe. While pricing details are yet to be announced, this electric marvel promises to reshape farming practices for the better.
