More Innovation Awards
Published date February 19, 2010
Massey Ferguson’s unstoppable awarding-winning reign continued when Technology Innovation Awards were presented at the FIMA 2010 Show in Zaragoza, Spain.
On the winning podium were the MF 8690 tractor for its Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) engine technology, together with the AGCOMMAND machine management telemetry system which is available on selected models.
The expert judging team at the Spanish show assess new equipment for technical developments that offer improvements in efficiency, operation, capacity, safety or environmental aspects. This is the first award for AGCOMMAND telemetry and the latest accolade for the advanced MF 8600 Series, which was named ‘Tractor of the Year’ immediately after its launch and has received a range of honours ever since.
The judges praised the Technical Innovation of the SCR on MF 8690’s AGCO SISU POWER six cylinder, 8.4-litre 84CTA engine. This was the first tractor to introduce SCR technology to control exhaust emissions, and uses ADBlue additive to transform the noxious nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas into plain nitrogen and water.
Massey Ferguson’s AGCOMMAND telemetry system was highlighted by the judges for its ability to provide farmers, contractors and managers with instant access to a wide range of information about equipment working in the fields or travelling on the road.
