=== Milestones ===
Also in 2002, the New Holland TG tractor series was introduced, featuring the unique "Cat'sEye" lighting as dubbed by then Fiat chairman Paolo Cantarella. The free-form halogen lighting was a first, not only in tractor design, but also actually preceded the use of this type of lighting in automotive design. The TG was the first styling effort by New Holland's newly named consulting designers and stylists (Montgomery Design International), which had been the long-time firm of record for IH and CaseIH. A single sketch penned by owner and principal designer Gregg Montgomery set New Holland's styling direction, which continues today in the complete range of New Holland tractors.

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>
