New Holland to spotlight T7.270 Methane Power tractor at Agritechnica 2025
24th September 2025
New Holland is set to unveil the evolution of its T7 tractor range and the expanded alternative fuel line-up during Agritechnica 2025.
The T7.270 Methane Power CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) tractor, unveiled at Agritechnica 2023, now officially joins the New Holland range.
Initially the tractor can be ordered in Europe from the end of 2025, with the first deliveries expected in spring 2026.
Darragh Mullin, New Holland T7 Long Wheelbase global product manager, said: “The T7.270 Methane Power is ideal for biodigester operators running haulage tractor fleets.
“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.”
T7 Methane Power tractor
The T7 Methane Power tractor can run on biomethane derived from livestock manure, supporting on-farm sustainability, the manufacturer said.
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 fertiliser 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 maximised by a 750hr service interval.
The New Holland design team has optimised the on-board gas storage thanks to the new T7’s larger chassis, with a standard capacity of 657 litres (117.9kg) and an 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 refuelling valve supports pressures of up to 260 bar for rapid refuelling times equivalent to diesel.
The tractor also features the New Holland Auto Command continuously variable transmission for a smooth driving experience and highly efficient fuel consumption, particularly when working with high-capacity trailers of 18t and over.
What’s inside?
Built on the T7 with PLM Intelligence platform, the T7.270 Methane Power features the award-winning Horizon Ultra cab – the industry’s quietest at just 66 decibels – enhancing operator comfort with increased space and advanced suspension, the manufacturer said.
Tractor management is simplified by the latest IntelliView 12 interface integrated into the SideWinder armrest, while full TIM compatibility enables seamless implement integration front and rear.
The T7.270 Methane Power benefits from New Holland Intelligence solutions, which integrate digital technologies for two-way transfer of machine and field data between the tractor and the FieldOps portal.
Data is automatically recorded, owners and managers can monitor machines, and dealers – with permission – can provide remote support.
Agritechnica 2025 will be hosted in Germany between 9th and 15th November.
