The hydrogen-powered NH2 tractor is based on the T6.140 production model. The tractor is able to all operate all the implements required for different seasonal operations: soil preparation, seeding, baling, transport, and front loader applications, while operating virtually silently and emitting only heat, vapour and water<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.softpedia.com/news/Hydrogen-Powered-Tractors-Now-a-Reality-105302.shtml |title=Hydrogen-Powered Tractors Now a Reality - New Holland Agriculture is behind the design - Softpedia |date=24 February 2009 |publisher=News.softpedia.com |access-date=2010-03-28}}</ref> Its [[internal combustion engine]] has been replaced with fuel cells that generate electricity. The compressed hydrogen stored in a special tank, and reacts with the oxygen in the air inside the cell to generate water and electricity. This powers the electric motors that drive the main transmission and the auxiliary systems of the tractor. The fuel cell generates less heat than an internal-combustion engine, offers a consistent output of power, and does not produce polluting [[nitrogen oxides]], [[soot]] particles, or [[carbon dioxide]]. It is quicker to refuel, 5 minutes to fill a tank compared to hours required by batteries.<ref>New Holland Official website http://agriculture.newholland.com/uk/en/WNH/hydrogen/Pages/Hydrogen.aspx</ref>
