“Notably eco-friendly, the CNG tractor significantly reduces emissions by nearly 70 per cent compared to diesel tractors. Lower engine vibrations contribute to decreased noise levels, measuring 3.5db lower than diesel tractors. This enhancement facilitates extended working hours and engine life, besides it also ensures enhanced operator comfort, catering to both farm and non-farm applications,” Mahindra Tractors said.
“Equipped with CNG technology, the tractor adeptly handles various agricultural and haulage applications, matching the capabilities of existing diesel tractors. Mahindra’s CNG tractor features four tanks with a water capacity of 45 litres each, or 24kg of gas onboard, filled at 200-bar pressure.
