The Valtra N101 has 110 horsepower, is equipped with a front loader, front linkage and front PTO. It is intended as an all-purpose tractor for farms, municipalities and contractors that have the possibility of refueling with biogas while working. The cylinders are situated in a safe location on the right side of the chassis, and the entire installation has been designed in accordance with EC vehicle regulations.
The company has already tested the tractor in different locations throughout Sweden and has attracted interest from the Minister for Rural Affairs Eskil Erlandsson, who has been very active in seeking type approval for vehicles powered by environmentally friendly dual-fuel technology.
“State-of-the-art technology has been employed in Valtra’s biogas tractor. Both the diesel and gas injection systems have their own electronically controlled common rail, which allows the ratio between the diesel and biogas to be optimized,” said Jari Rautjärvi, Managing Director of Valtra, when the model was unveiled.
