Core family is the AGCO Power star at the Agritechnica 2025 booth
AGCO Power displayed the entire Core family in its own space within the AGCO Corporation mega stand at Agritechnica 2025
It was April in Munich when we first met Tommi Puomisto, Marketing Manager at AGCO Power. It was at bauma that the veils were lifted on the Core 80, the top-of-the-range engine in a family that also includes a 7.5 and a 5-liter unit. We met with him again at Agritechnica, where we discussed AGCO’s strategies for developing agricultural tractor powertrains, focusing on enhancing performance, fuel economy, and reducing CO2 emissions, while preparing for future alternative fuel requirements.
At Agritechnica 2025, the entire Core family was under the spotlights
The presence of the former Sisu inside the AGCO Corporation pavilion was not limited to the three musketeers of the Core family. Also on display were the 8.4-liter 6-cylinder engine (313 kW and 1,750 Nm), a concept of a 150 kWh battery pack with NMC cylindrical cells, encapsulated in a stylish red packaging, and a CO₂Calculatorconcept developed in collaboration with Valtra. This solution detects the type of fuel used and calculates the operational carbon footprint of agricultural machinery.
On this matter, Bianca Lind, Managing Director of VERAVIS GmbH (a wholly owned subsidiary of Agravis Raiffeisen AG) stated: “VERAVIS is committed to supporting farmers in meeting the requirements of the EU Green Deal while ensuring sustainable and profitable crop production. By integrating the AGCO Power CO₂ Calculator, we enhance the accuracy of our site- and crop-specific Product Carbon Footprint calculations. Validated, site-specific fuel usage data strengthens the credibility of sustainability reporting and simplifies documentation for all stakeholders—especially the farmer.”
Kari Aaltonen says
Regarding the Finnish vision on electrification, Kari Aaltonen, the Director of Product Development, added: “Today, the best way for a farmer to achieve emission-free operation is with a battery-electric driveline. Most regular farm work can, in the future, be completed with a tractor equipped with this battery. The challenge will be very long working days, but high-power DC charging will enable operators to resume work in around 40 minutes.”
