Driving the Green Transformation
At Agritechnica 2025 in Hanover, MAN Engines is presenting a comprehensive portfolio of drive technologies developed to meet the growing global demand for efficient and sustainable agricultural machinery. The company’s exhibits align with the trade fair’s theme “Touch Smart Efficiency,” reflecting MAN’s approach to combining performance, resource efficiency, and long-term reliability.
“MAN Engines is once again showing how smart innovations and well-thought-out system solutions pave the way for future-proof agricultural technology,” said Reiner Roessner, Head of Sales at MAN Engines. The company’s offerings support both traditional diesel-powered operations and the transition to alternative, low-carbon energy sources.
Technological Upgrades: D4276 and D2676 Diesel Engines
Central to MAN’s exhibit are the enhanced D4276 and D2676 diesel engines, which feature next-generation control systems, improved combustion, and higher efficiency.
The D4276 now integrates advanced engine control units, achieving up to 3% lower fuel consumption while maintaining strong performance. This engine powers high-performance agricultural machines from manufacturers such as Fendt and Claas, proving its reliability under demanding conditions.
The D2676 receives a complete redesign, with a new crankshaft, revised combustion process, and improved injection system. The result is an output increase from 383 kW (521 hp) to 404 kW (549 hp) and fuel savings of up to 7% depending on application.
Both engines now incorporate ISO 26262 functional safety, ensuring reliable operation under all conditions. They are engineered at MAN’s Nuremberg competence center and are compatible with diesel, biogas, hydrogen, and synthetic fuels, reflecting MAN’s multi-energy strategy.
MAN E3872 Gas Engine: Efficiency in Power Generation
Another highlight is the E3872 gas engine, optimized for combined heat and power (CHP) applications. Delivering 735 kW mechanical output, the engine achieves electrical efficiency of up to 44.4% on natural gas and 43.5% on biogas.
Developed for flexibility and redundancy, twin and triple configurations allow operators to achieve over 2 MW total output while maintaining high uptime and reduced service intervals. The E3872 meets stringent NOx emission limits under Germany’s biomass package, making it suitable for sustainable energy generation in agriculture.
MAN BatteryPack: Energy Storage for Mobile and Industrial Use
The MAN BatteryPack, debuting at Agritechnica, represents the company’s next step toward electrification. Designed for mobile and industrial applications, it combines high energy density (NMC cell chemistry) with durability and robust thermal management.
Each unit undergoes a comprehensive end-of-line test, ensuring compliance with automotive-grade standards. Production takes place in Nuremberg, where MAN is investing heavily to expand its battery manufacturing capacity as part of its transition toward cleaner technologies.
Remanufactured Engines: Quality and Sustainability
MAN is showcasing a remanufactured D2676 engine used in the Fendt 1000 Vario, demonstrating how refurbished units can perform like new. MAN’s remanufacturing program doubles component life, reuses up to 80% of engine mass, and offers the same warranty as new units.
This process not only lowers costs but also reduces resource use, aligning with the agricultural sector’s sustainability goals. MAN’s factory in Nuremberg now restores a wide range of engine types, from D1556 to D2862, for various agricultural applications.
MAN TGS 18.540 4×4 BL SA: Agricultural Truck for Field and Road
MAN Truck & Bus will also present the TGS 18.540 4×4 BL SA, a truck tailored for agricultural logistics. With all-wheel drive, wide agricultural tires, and load-sensing hydraulics, it can operate effectively between field and processing sites.
The driver’s cabin features advanced safety and comfort technologies such as adaptive cruise control, reversing cameras, and the MAN SmartSelect interface. As an LOF-approved vehicle, it also benefits from agricultural regulatory advantages, including exemptions from certain driving restrictions.
Comprehensive Solutions Across the Harvest Chain
From November 9 to 15, 2025, MAN Truck & Bus and MAN Engines will exhibit in Hall 15, Stand G05, presenting solutions covering every stage of the agricultural value chain—from field preparation to transport and energy generation.
By integrating diesel, gas, electric, and remanufactured systems under one strategy, MAN Engines demonstrates its commitment to delivering efficient, safe, and sustainable power solutions for the agriculture of tomorrow.
