Fiat Group New Holland, the
first agricultural equipment brand to embrace fully the
potential of biodiesel, has followed its 20% (B20) biodiesel
commitment by announcing that most of its machinery equipped
with mechanical fuel injection diesel engines and a number
of electronic engines can run on 100% pure biodiesel (B100)
to EN14214 standard, with the use of an adaptation kit and
specific maintenance programme.
New Holland leads the industry with the Europe-wide approval
of the unlimited use of B20 biodiesel in all current
production equipment with CNH engines, including Common Rail
models.
The latest announcement confirms the brand's commitment to
the use of biodiesel. “In keeping with our role as the
‘Clean Energy Leader’, we have given our customers clear
undertakings with regard to biodiesel,” declared Christian
González, New Holland Europe marketing director, “and
today's announcement proves that we always keep our
promises. In fact, from today, by simply following our
technical guidelines, New Holland customers can confidently
use 100% pure biodiesel on no less than 70 models in our
range, both tractors and harvesters."

Simon Thornton, head of New Holland in Europe, explained
that “behind this major commitment, which opens up new
prospects for our customers, lies months of intensive trials
to assess our engines' performance and reliability with 100%
biodiesel. We wanted to be quite sure that we could not just
offer the best technologies but, above all, ensure our
customers could put complete faith in New Holland’s use of
biodiesel with absolutely trouble-free operation."
Christian Gonzalez highlighted the unique position for the
farming sector. “This sector can benefit from biodiesel in
two ways: by using a fuel that reduces energy dependency,
and by growing crops from which biodiesel is made. Aware of
this today, New Holland offers European farmers in all
segments the widest and most diversified equipment fleet
able to run on pure or blended biodiesel. This represents
another important step forward; but testing will not stop
here, because we want New Holland to continue leading the
biodiesel revolution. Real action and genuine benefits for
our customers, in true New Holland style."
