New Holland Agricultural Equipment Supports
Use of 100% Biodiesel
NEW HOLLAND, Pa. (NOV. 8, 2007) New Holland Agricultural Equipment today announced it supports
the use of B100 biodiesel in all equipment with New Holland-manufactured diesel engines, including
electronic injection engines with common rail technology. The announcement consolidates New
Hollands leading position on biodiesel, ensuring its customers have the widest and most
comprehensive choice of biodiesel-supported machinery on the market.
Overall, nearly 80% of New Holland-branded products with diesel engines are now available to
operate on B100 biodiesel. New Holland has also asked other suppliers of diesel engines used in New
Holland-branded products to test and approve higher levels of biodiesel.
In addition to extensive testing and development within the company, New Holland has been involved
in an ongoing research project in collaboration with Penn State Universitys College of
Agricultural Sciences to put B100 to the test under real-life conditions. Penn States College of
Agricultural Sciences is operating new, unmodified New Holland tractors on B100 biodiesel on their
1,500-acre research farm to find out what diesel equipment owners can expect to experience when
they use B100. After nearly two years of use, the tractors have performed with no adverse effects
in performance or maintenance, according to Glen Cauffman, the universitys manager of farm
operations and services.
Paul Trella, New Holland Director of Product Marketing for Under-100 HP Tractors, said that by
supporting B100 use, New Holland is making a leap forward in its commitment to renewable energy.
We are committed to providing equipment that is compliant with biodiesel use, and to providing
top-rate biodiesel support for our customers. As the use of biodiesel continues to gain
greater acceptance and the infrastructure for providing a quality product to consumers expands, New Holland
equipment is ready, Trella said.
Trella stressed it is essential to use high-quality biodiesel produced to ASTM D6751 standards from
a reputable supplier who can offer consistent fuel quality to ensure optimum performance and engine
durability. It is imperative that consumers use nothing less than this quality. With the use of
approved fuels, it is also essential that biodiesel be used in strict compliance with proper
handling, storage and maintenance requirements to maintain the integrity of the fuel.
Details of the models that can run on B100, as well as New Hollands requirements and
recommendations to do so safely, are available from New Holland dealers or on the New Holland Web
site at www.newholland.com/na.
