2025 John Deere Engine & Drivetrains Battery Power Solutions John Deere and Kreisel

With an industry-wide acceleration toward electrification, John Deere has set impactful sustainability goals for 2026 across its different manufacturing segments that are focused on developing battery power solutions to serve as sole or hybrid propulsion systems for off-highway equipment and vehicles. John Deere sees a growing demand for battery power solutions for off-highway equipment and vehicles as more countries establish regulatory requirements around emissions.

• European Climate Law requires 55% lower emissions by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050; current emissions standards call for a 37.5% reduction for cars and 30% for trucks by 2030.

• The U.S. has set a goal of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2030.

• And in South America, most countries have established deadlines to attain carbon neutrality; Chile, Brazil, and Mexico have launched plans to electrify their auto industries by 2040.

These emissions regulations are highlighting the need for diversified powertrain solutions that can meet power requirements across a range of equipment sizes. In response, John Deere is prioritizing a holistic approach to its power offerings by making strategic investments in electrification, alternative fuels, and other future-forward technologies that will give OEMs and their customers a competitive edge in the off-highway market.

Within its electrification strategy, John Deere is prioritizing the electrification of equipment that is most impacted by current and anticipated regulatory actions. This includes equipment that could rely solely on batteries as a primary power source such as turf equipment, compact utility tractors, small tractors, compact construction equipment, and some road building equipment.
