Among the possible alternatives to diesel fuel, interest in hydrogen is growing among agricultural machinery manufacturers
As confirmation of this trend, Agco Beauvais Engineering has taken the lead of Arhystote, a French consortium of companies aiming to develop a new generation of gas storage tanks, designed to power the internal combustion engines of tractors. A first demonstrative prototype is expected in 2026 under the Massey Ferguson brand. One of the main challenges of such systems lies in the high pressures required for hydrogen storage, as the gas must be contained in compact spaces to minimize bulk. The new tanks currently under development are designed to meet these needs and may also be suitable for other non-agricultural applications, such as road freight transport.
