Multiple factors affect fuel efficiency.
Ordinarily, that can make it even harder
to achieve fuel efficiency but Fendt has
taken the opposite approach. Instead, the
company has designed a tractor management
system (TMS) that works in concert
with their engines, transmissions and
electronics to boost efficiency.
When activated, the TMS controls the
engine and the transmission. According
to Fendt, the driver can choose between
the joystick and the pedal control and
only needs to set the desired speed.
On a slope, as the load increases, TMS
increases the engine s speed. As soon as
the load decreases, the quantity of fuel
is reduced. TMS drives the tractor at the
lowest engine speed possible.
The new 800 Varios tractors also include
a new Adblue technology, where the exhaust
is after-treated with Adblue, a 32.5 per cent
urea solution that converts nitrous oxides
into non-toxic nitrogen and water.
