Trump wants to turn the clock on daylight saving timeClaas targets electric loaders and hydrogen engines for sustainable farming Claas is advancing sustainable farming with clear solutions: fully electric powertrains for smaller vehicles like telehandlers and hydrogen engines as a promising alternative for heavy-duty machines. These innovations aim to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of agricultural operations. The agricultural sector faces increasing pressure to adopt cleaner, more sustainable technologies without compromising performance. Claas is tackling this challenge with a dual focus: electric drives for lighter vehicles and hydrogen-powered engines for heavy machinery. As part of a €5.1 million research project funded by Germany’s Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Claas is collaborating with industry leaders such as Deutz, Mahle, and Liebherr. The project explores hydrogen engines’ potential to deliver robust, efficient, and low-emission performance in agricultural machines. Tests include real-world trials with hydrogen-powered vehicles and extensive material studies to ensure durability under demanding conditions. In addition to hydrogen, Claas also supports alternative fuels like HVO diesel. HVO, or , is a renewable diesel substitute made from sustainable feedstocks such as waste oils and fats. It offers up to a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional diesel and is already approved for use across the entire Claas product range. Claas is also investing in fully electric solutions. The Scorpion telehandler, showcased as a concept , represents the company’s vision for battery-powered equipment tailored for farmyard tasks. , Chief Technology Officer at Claas, explains : “Electric drives are ideal for lower-power applications, such as around the farm, while hydrogen and sustainable fuels are essential for high-performance machinery.” the latest news shaping the hydrogen market at Claas targets electric loaders and hydrogen engines for sustainable farming, HORIBA Inaugurates India’s First Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Test Bed HORIBA India has inaugurated it’s first-ever Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (H2-ICE) Test Bed Facility at the HORIBA India Technical...

Home | News | Trump Sides With Musk As Tech Billionaire Vows To Go To War To Defend H 1b Trump sides with Musk as tech billionaire vows to ‘go to war’ to defend H-1B Musk, himself once on an H-1B visa and whose electric vehicle company Tesla, has hired workers using the programme, defended the tech industry's need to bring in foreign workers By AP Published Date - 29 December 2024, 07:09 PM Washington: Elon Musk has received support from President-elect Donald Trump on his stance on H-1B visas, a day after the tech billionaire vowed to “go to war” to defend the programme used to bring skilled foreign workers to the US. Musk, who along with Indian-American tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has been tapped by Trump to lead his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), argued last week that foreign workers are needed for tech companies like Musk’s SpaceX and Tesla. Musk on Friday blasted a user on X who used a video of Musk discussing SpaceX processes to go after the billionaire’s stance on the visa programme. Also Read Trump says he’s a believer in H-1B visas “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B,” Musk wrote on X. He also used a profane quote from Tom Cruise’s character in the movie “Tropic Thunder” to attack his critics. “Take a big step back and F— YOURSELF in the face,” Musk said. Trump on Saturday sided with Musk, saying he fully backs the programme opposed by some of his supporters. “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favour of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump told the New York Post newspaper. “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great programme,” Trump said. The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. Technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from countries like India and China. The tech industry has long called for more H-1B visas to attract highly skilled workers to the US. Trump’s first administration restricted the programme in 2020, arguing that it allows businesses to replace Americans with lower-paid foreign workers. Musk, himself once on an H-1B visa and whose electric vehicle company Tesla has hired workers using the programme, defended the tech industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. “Anyone – of any race, creed or nationality – who came to America and worked like hell to contribute to this country will forever have my respect. America is the land of freedom and opportunity. Fight with every fiber of your being to keep it that way!” he wrote on X on Friday.
