In 2019, John Deere’s eAutoPowr concept arrived at Agritechnica, touting the potential of the world’s first electric variable transmission. In the same year, a new transmission concept developed through a partnership with Joskin won Agritechnica’s Gold Innovation Award.
Fast forward, Agritechnica’23 And eAutoPowr was once again drawing crowds of farmers to the John Deere Innovation Show venue. The company currently offers transmissions with electromechanical power split options for its 8R Series tractors. In this report, Deere’s Sebastion Frisch explains how the company offers durable, high-performance tractors with continuously variable transmissions in his 400-plus horsepower class. doing.
With eAutoPowr, Deere has completely replaced hydraulic components with a power path. In addition to powering the drive, the electric drive is designed to provide up to 100kW of power to external equipment via 480V variable frequency three-phase AC.
The first application was developed by John Deere and Joskin. When combined with the Joskin axle drive, the slurry tanker’s two axles are electrically driven, utilizing the tanker’s weight as traction. This provides better traction, less slippage, and more accurate tracking, Frisch says. Watch the video below.
