During harvest, every hour of peak torque counts. Visibly less black smoke means less unburned fuel and more power where it pays.

§ In the field Where every hour of peak torque counts

From bench to the harvest.

Tractors and harvesters burn rich under load. A cleaner combustion cycle means more power where it pays — and visibly less black smoke where it doesn’t.

§ 02 · Economic impact

EU27 + CH — 17.1 billion litres of diesel. 11% recoverable.

EU27 agriculture & forestry burned 608 938 TJ of gas oil & diesel in 2023 (Eurostat) — roughly 16.9 billion litres. Add Switzerland’s 150 million litres (Agroscope/OFAG) and the European agricultural & forestry diesel base reaches ~17.1 Bn L per year. Applied at sector scale, the NTROPYX® combustion catalyst represents a measurable recovery potential on fuel already burned.
