Winner of the Tractor of The Year 2024 award in the Best of Specialized category, the REX4 is the real world reference for row crop specialist tractors and today it has been enhanced with Energy innovation!

The jury for the Technical Innovation Award also gave an honourable “Mention” to Landini REX4 Energy, which represents the reaffirmation and evolution of the company’s ongoing commitment to electrification. REX4 Energy is capable of supplying power to the implements without modifying the standard body and option packages of the current product line.

This is all thanks to the PMS (Power Management System), developed in-house, which allows for power to be supplied via an electric generator at lower engine RPMs rather than through the hydraulics and/or PTO. The system supplies 48 V, but is also capable of handling higher voltages.

Sufficient energy can be provided for row care, foliage management, and spraying operations, with no reduction in the tractor payload and no limitation in the availability of options. All this is achieved in a manner that respects the environment and operator comfort through reduced noise and CO₂ emissions.

The design of the new REX4 Full Hybrid tractor involved developing a series of innovative technologies aimed at optimising mechanical systems, recovering energy and managing power flows in the various electrical devices. All of this is a remarkable accomplishment, but is also an exceptional landmark for the future development of these machines, with increasingly sophisticated, cutting-edge and invaluable functions for the user and the environment.

The Full Hybrid project, capable of delivering a total power output of 80kW, features a 55 kW diesel engine combined with an electric permanent magnet Booster motor with a power output of up to 50 kW. Full Hybrid operation delivers 55 kW from the internal combustion engine combined with 25 kW of electrical power, while a nominal power of 50 kW can be reached (with a peak of 65kW) in Full Electric mode.

The prestigious Eima International Technical Innovation Award has gone to Landini again.

After winning with their Advanced Driving System in 2018, the Argo Tractors group is once again honoured with the award thanks to the Electra – Evolving Hybrid system, also intended for the Landini REX4, which is to take centre stage both at Eima Digital, the preview scheduled on a web platform from 11 to 15 November.

Intended for orchards and vineyards, Landini REX4 has already gained a reputation for its handling prowess and ease of use, which combine with astoundingly thrifty running costs to meet the needs of the most demanding customers.

Such qualities are coupled with solutions that also look to increase the efficiency of the tractor system and further improve comfort during the long hours spent driving the tractor.
