The partnership includes a supply agreement for updated 6.1 liter and 4.1 liter DEUTZ engines (the latter pictured above) to be used in selected Fendt tractors. In addition, AGCO and DEUTZ will explore closer cooperation on engines or engine installation components below 150 hp.

The joint project also deals with research and development cooperation in electric drives and alternative fuels as for off-highway applications.

Not long ago, DEUTZ announced another agreement, this time with John Deere, for the power threshold under 130 kW and involving only IC engines.
