AGCO Unveils $77M Clean Energy Lab, Pioneers Electric Tractor Production
AGCO (NYSE:AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, and its subsidiary AGCO Power, today announced the opening of the company's first clean energy laboratory. The lab is part of a 70-million-euro investment (approximately $77 million) in the Linnavuori plant in Nokia, and will support development and testing of innovative, sustainable battery and powertrain solutions for farm machinery.
全球领先的农业机械和精密农业技术设计、制造和分销公司AGCO（纽交所：AGCO）及其子公司AGCO Power今天宣布其首个清洁能源实验室开业。该实验室是AGCO在诺基亚的林纳武利工厂7,000万欧元（约7700万美元）投资的一部分，将支持农机创新、可持续电池和动力总成解决方案的开发和测试。
"It is exciting to know those investments will start showing tangible results this summer when the first fully electric tractor, the Fendt e100 V Vario, enters production in 2024. " "

The Linnavuori team of scientists and engineers are developing next-generation engines powered by low- or zero-carbon electricity and alternative fuels, such as hydrogen and methanol, that will help minimize global agricultural emissions.
林纳武利科学家和工程师正在研发由低碳化电力和氢、甲醇等替代燃料提供动力的下一代发动机，旨在减少全球农业排放。
While the number of hybrid and electric vehicles on world roadways has grown exponentially in the 21st century, adoption of alternative power for off-road/farm machinery has lagged. The capacity of existing battery technologies restricts the size of fully electric farm machinery, but the AGCO Power lab is working to change that paradigm.
虽然21世纪世界道路上混合动力和电动汽车的数量呈指数级增长，但农业机械的另类动力采用仍滞后。现有电池技术的容量限制了全电动农用机械的规模，但AGCO Power实验室正在努力改变这一范式。
"We are investing heavily in the research and development of multiple lower carbon technologies, such as the electrification of off-road machines and hybrids," said Kelvin Bennett, AGCO's senior vice president of engineering. "It is exciting to know those investments will start showing tangible results this summer when the first fully electric tractor, the Fendt e100 V Vario, enters production in 2024. "
“我们正大力投入多项低碳技术的研发，如离线机器和混合动力化等，” AGCO的高级副总裁Kelvin Bennett表示：“很高兴知道这些投资将在今年夏天开始显现实质性成果，第一款全电动拖拉机Fendt e100 V Vario将于2024年投产。”
In addition to the off-road machine emissions, AGCO is aggressively pursuing reductions in emissions in its own operations. Specifically, it has set objectives to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions 55% by 2033 and 90% by 2050.
除了离线机器的排放，AGCO还在积极追求减少其自身排放。具体而言，它已设定目标，到2033年将减少其范围1和范围2排放55%，到2050年将减少其范围1和范围2排放90%。
Development of next-generation zero- and low-emission machines is a focus of the company's sustainability ambition as it seeks to reduce its Scope 3 emissions. Key initiatives include decarbonizing its product portfolio, engaging suppliers to decrease their emissions, supporting farmers' transition to sustainable solutions, and working with industry associations on renewable and low-carbon fuels in agricultural machinery.
开发下一代零和低排放机械是公司可持续发展的重点，旨在减少其范围3排放。关键举措包括减少其产品组合的碳排放、促进供应商减少排放、支持农民过渡到可持续解决方案，并与行业协会合作推广农业机械领域的可再生和低碳燃料。
In addition to the clean energy laboratory, the Linnavuori plant features new production facilities for both cylinder heads and continuously variable transmission components, expansions to the paint shop and testing facilities for remanufactured engines, and a training and visitor center. In total, the new buildings cover an expanse of 11,000 square meters (approximately 118,400 square feet), with some phases of the project opening this year and others set to be operational in 2025.
除了清洁能源实验室外，林纳武利工厂还拥有新的汽缸盖和CVT元件生产设施、喷漆作坊扩建和再制造引擎测试设施以及一个培训和访客中心等。总体而言，新建筑物占地11,000平方米（约118,400平方英尺），其中一些项目于今年开放，另一些项目计划于2025年投入运营。
