When farmers prosper, they seed benefits for all. They cultivate a sustainable source of
food — ensuring food security and addressing nutritional needs. They also create jobs
in rural communities, generate significant economic value and play an important role in
environmental stewardship. With this in mind, we are expanding our portfolio with products

Further, Fendt's E-Vario weeder can be combined with an electrically powered tractor, incorporating
electrically driven weeding modules that optimize power consumption. The modular set-up enables
easy adaption to multiple farming conditions and crops. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based plant
and weed detection and two cameras for monitoring the process establish the foundation for full
autonomy. This concept for a “zero emissions, zero chemicals” electric tractor and weeder won the
2023 DLG AgriFuture Concept Award at AGRITECHNICA.
Fendt e100 series: A fully electric future starts now
AGRITECHNICA 2023 represented Fendt’s largest industry trade show appearance
to date. One of the highlights was the launch of the much-anticipated Fendt e107 V
Vario, AGCO’s first battery-powered tractor. The tractor is currently available to order
in Germany, the Netherlands and Norway and will go into full production in 2024.
The Fendt e107 V Vario is powerful, compatible with all common attachments and
emissions-free, offering a practical, sustainable solution for today and long into
the future. It comes equipped with FendtONE system architecture, which enables
owners to ensure the tractor’s systems, sensors and software are always up to date.
The Fendt e107 V Vario provides exhaust-free operation and is light and compact
— ideal for use in greenhouses and other enclosed spaces. Similarly, the Fendt e107
V Vario’s compact dimensions are perfect for use in orchards and vineyards, or for
municipal activities such as maintaining cycling paths. Many farms and municipalities
generate renewable energy via solar panels, wind power or biogas. These inputs can be
used to charge the Fendt e100 series, creating a closed energy cycle from generation
to use. In addition to reducing emissions, our Fendt e100 series can decrease
ownership costs, as some services such as engine oil changes are no longer needed.

(GRI) Index Our sites report water withdrawal from municipal water supply and other water sources (mainly groundwater wells), and it is understood as freshwater sources. Water consumption is calculated using
the following formula: Water consumption = water withdrawal — water discharged — water recycled. Where water discharge is not measured directly, discharge = withdrawal was assumed. We aim to
improve upon the measurement of water discharge in the future to be able to provide more accurate water consumption figures. From 2023 onward, we are reporting the same metrics for high and
