eAutoPowr transmission in cooperation with Joksin Germany was awarded the only Gold Medal by the AGRITECHNICA Innovation Commission jury in 2019. The two brushless electric motors are virtually wear-free and powertrain durability exceeds any other concepts previously offered in the industry.
eAutoPowr can provide up to 100kW of electrical power, with either 700V direct current (DC) or 480V variable frequency three-phase alternating current (AC) as available option. In addition, the maintenance costs are significantly lower. The drive axles allow a traction increase ... https://www.tvh.com/en-us/node/43192/john-deere-transmission-eautopowr
