September 22, 2025. At Agritechnica 2025, New Holland unveils the evolution of its T7 tractor range and reinforces its leadership in alternative fuels with an expanded sustainable product portfolio.
With the launch edition bearing New Holland’s Blue Power livery, the T7.270 Methane Power CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) tractor, unveiled at Agritechnica 2023, now officially joins the New Holland range, taking the brand’s alternative fuel technology further up the power scale, to benefit a broader range of farmers. Initially the tractor can be ordered in Europe from the end of 2025, with the first deliveries in spring 2026.
“The T7.270 Methane Power is ideal for biodigester operators running haulage tractor fleets,” says Darragh Mullin, New Holland T7 Long Wheelbase Global Product Manager.
“It also meets the demands of larger-scale arable farms and contractors conducting year-round varied applications with heavy-duty implements. The combination of methane power technology with proven New Holland T7 features is designed to offer customers a blend of low operating costs, autonomy, reliability and driver comfort.”
The T7 Methane Power tractor can run on biomethane derived from livestock manure, supporting on-farm sustainability. In partnership with Bennamann, New Holland enables farms to capture, process and refine fugitive methane for use as fuel. This closed-loop system reduces emissions, cuts fertilizer use, and can even achieve a negative carbon footprint.
Underneath the hood design is the proven NEF 6.7-litre six-cylinder engine upgraded with a high-performance turbo, new engine dataset, specific fuel system and after-treatment layout. The engine’s peak torque is 1,160Nm, and it produces a maximum 270hp under all conditions. With new engine mapping, the T7.270 Methane Power matches the performance levels expected by customers in this power sector, with uptime maximized by a 750hr service interval.
The New Holland design team has optimized the on-board gas storage thanks to the new T7’s larger chassis, with a standard capacity of 657 litres (117.9kg) and optional 480-litre (86.2kg) range extender, for a total capacity of 1,106 litres (204.1kg).
When fitted, the range extender delivers up to 11 hours’ autonomy in transport applications. Already widely used in road vehicles, an NGV2 refueling valve supports pressures of up to 260 bar for rapid refueling times equivalent to diesel.
