After the Fendt e100 V Vario, Fendt now introduces the standard Fendt e100 Vario tractor. Charged with green electricity, it is CO2 neutral. At this stage, the e100 Vario will find its way on livestock farms, in vegetable cultivation and in municipalities.
The agricultural and public sectors take their responsibility to reduce CO2 emissions seriously. Numerous farms and municipalities are already reducing their carbon footprint by generating renewable energy. The Fendt e100 Vario meets with this demand.
The drive train of the Fendt e107 Vario is made up of the battery with an electric motor and the Fendt Vario transmission. It has a powerful electric motor whose power is utilised efficiently in three driving modes. The maximum power range according to ECE R85 is 50 kW (68 hp) in Eco mode. In the Dynamic mode, up to 55 kW (75 hp) and, as peak drive power, the tractor provides up to 66 kW (90 hp) for short periods in Dynamic+ mode. Its maximum torque of 347 Nm ensures optimum pulling power and a dynamic driving experience.
An external width of 2.16 meters and a height from 2.64 meters with standard tyres, the compact Fendt e107 Vario model has comparable dimensions to the Fendt 200 Vario. The Fendt e107 Vario is available in the Profi and Profi+ variants.
With a battery capacity of 100 kWh, the tractor achieves an operating time of around 4 – 7 hours when used in the partial load range, such as for mechanical weed control or planting work. Energy-intensive operations like using a trailer in transport will reduce the operating time.
The Fendt e100 Vario can be optionally equipped ex works with the Fendt Cargo 3X65 front loader, for which the design of the comfort cab is optimized with a roof window. This facilitates front loader work at height, such as storing bales. The optional 3L-joystick enables operating the front loader with integrated directional shift function.
Emission-free working
Many farms and municipalities are already equipped with an infrastructure for generating renewable energies and utilize sustainable energy sources such as photovoltaics, wind power or biogas. When charged with this green electricity, the Fendt e100 Vario is virtually CO2 neutral. As a result the farm’s CO2 emissions and the tractor’s running costs are significantly reduced. Lower maintenance costs, thanks to the absence of exhaust gas after-treatment, engine filters and engine oil further reduce the running costs of the machine.
Thanks to its compact dimensions, Vario transmission and emission-free operation it can also be used in animal- and greenhouses, as neither people nor animals are exposed to exhaust gases.
The electrically powered tractor works more quietly than machines with a conventional diesel engine. This extends the operating time in noise-sensitive areas such as residential areas or urban parks, for tasks such as winter gritting. Approved for a speed of up to 40 km/h, the e-tractor can also be used for short-distance transport in municipalities and on farms.
Quick and easy recharge
In line with the automotive standard, the Fendt e100 Vario is equipped with a CCS2 socket and is compatible with standard wall outlets or public charging points. So far, agricultural farms and local municipalities do not have a comprehensive infrastructure with DC fast-charging sockets (superchargers). The Type 2 plug enables charging via alternating current up to 22 kW. The Fendt e107 Vario can also be charged via the widely used industrial socket with 32 A in combination with a mobile charger with 22 kW. With this charging capacity, the battery can be fully charged within approx. 5 hours.
Ready for future developments, DC fast charging with up to 80 kW charging power is possible via a CCS socket. The battery charges from 20 to 80 per cent capacity in around 45 minutes. Customers can use the corresponding charging system depending on the local infrastructure.
Fendt also offers a mobile 22 kW quick-charging cable set including a wall bracket via the AGCO Parts division. The charging cable has adapters for 16 and 32 A so that it can be used for different conditions. The integrated software enables charging with 11 or 22 kW. In addition, the company also offers advice on and procurement of rapid charging stations.
Efficient energy utilization
The Fendt e107 Vario has been developed with sustainable energy utilization in mind. The start-stop function significantly reduces energy consumption and the number of operating hours of the tractor. Energy is also recovered through regeneration. This can be further increased with a dedicated foot pedal for increased recuperation. In addition, three operating modes – Eco, Dynamic and Dynamic+ – are available to adjust energy use according to the work application.
The Eco driving mode is particularly suitable for applications with a low power requirement, such as spreading in winter or planting vegetables, while Dynamic is used for more power-intensive applications such as mowing work. For a short time, the Dynamic+ mode releases additional energy for a limited period of time, for example to overcome inclines.
Thanks to the integrated thermal management, the battery always operates at the optimum temperature, regardless of the season or weather conditions. This protects the battery and extends its life. If the timer is activated the day before, the machine is at operating temperature in time for the start of work. An energy-saving fan with a reversing function is integrated into the thermal management.
Special tyres
The Fendt e107 Vario is equipped with 340/70R24 tyres for the front axle and 480/70R30 tyres for the rear axle, as standard.
Fendt and Trelleborg have jointly developed the TM1 Eco Power tyre especially for this series. The focus was on the interplay between performance and energy efficiency and 65 per cent of the components come from renewable or recycled sources. The tyres feature a particularly low rolling resistance in order to be energy-saving and thus extend the battery life. In addition, there is optimum traction, stability and driving comfort on different surfaces, as well as a self-cleaning tread for agricultural applications.
The Fendt e107 Vario will be available to order from autumn 2024 and will be produced at the Marktoberdorf tractor plant from the second quarter of 2025. In addition to the pilot markets of Germany, Norway and the Netherlands. Next the e107 Vario will also be available in Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Italy and Spain
The e107 Vario is only available from qualified dealers. Availability will gradually be expanded.
