The T6.180 Methane Power tractor takes center stage as the world's first methane-powered tractor, designed with a focus on minimizing emissions while maximizing profitability and productivity. This revolutionary tractor matches the performance of its diesel equivalent in terms of power, torque, and durability. However, it boasts an estimated 30% reduction in running costs, offering fuel flexibility by running on either compressed biomethane or compressed natural gas (CNG). As a key element in New Holland's Energy Independent Farm concept, the T6 Methane Power tractor completes the loop of a true circular economy, presenting a carbon-negative footprint by utilizing agricultural waste to generate biomethane fuel.

Carlo Lambro, the brand president of New Holland, expressed his gratitude for the prestigious AE50 awards, emphasizing that this recognition represents the culmination of countless hours of research, innovation, and hard work. Lambro sees the award as a symbol of the company's commitment to farmers and a promise to continue innovating in the agricultural sector.
