“Versatile is a longstanding manufacturer in the agriculture space
with a reputation for excellence in tractors,” said Ann Schmelzer,
general manager Cummins Global Agriculture Business. “Our companies
share a commitment to technology, quality and dependability for our
customers.
“Cummins is excited to be working with Versatile as we leverage our
respective strengths to create new opportunities for both companies.”
Since 1967, Versatile has used Cummins engines exclusively in all of
its four-wheel drive tractors. Cummins’ hydrogen engines are designed
to maintain as much commonality as possible with their diesel engine
counterparts. Overall, the engines are little changed below the head
gasket, but the top end will incorporate new spark-ignition fuel
systems tailored to hydrogen.
“While diesel engines continue to be the flexible power of choice for
the foreseeable future in agriculture, such a collaboration enables
both companies to develop low and zero carbon solutions that are
ideally suited to farming,” said Adam Reid, Versatile’s vice president
of Sales and Marketing.
“Cummins has recently announced its plan to leverage existing
platforms and expertise in spark ignited technology to build hydrogen
engines,” Schmelzer added. “The high commonality among engine
components between diesel and hydrogen leverages scale advantages for
OEMs, while delivering the reliability that farmers need,”
