CUSTOMER PROBLEM To have a high-clearance tractor that meets today's agro-ecological challenges, while at the same time being part of a circular economy, for its Château Montrose operation.

To meet this demand, Tecnoma, Pipo Moteurs and CRMT retrofitted a disel tractor running on bioethanol.

 

CRMT SOLUTION As a technical partner, CRMT contributed its expertise in auditing and preparing the straddle tractor for retrofitting from GNR to E100. With the help of Pipo Moteurs, our design office adapted a BioGNV engine to run on ethanol. The engine was then tested in our test cell. During this phase, our teams carried out various experiments to optimize combustion. As for the engine's electronic management, this is provided by our ECU (electronic control unit), the software for which was redesigned with Tecnoma for the integration of this new biofuel in its high-clearance tractor.

CRMT's expertise in biofuels and engine testing enabled CRMT to provide a rapid, tailor-made solution, enhancing the value of engine development for BioGNV.
