Electric variable transmission (EVT) E-Drive on John Deere‘s two new hybrid X-Tier production class wheel loaders replaces the torque converter and traditional transmission. Paired with a JD9 diesel engine, the E-Drive on the 744 X-Tier and 824 X-Tier provides instant power while simplifying operation. Hybrid E-Drive reduces fuel costs — an attractive benefit lowering the total cost of ownership over the life of the machine. In 2024, John Deere also significantly expanded its P-Tier compact loader lineup, introducing five new models of skid-steer and compact track loaders along with new powered attachments and new technology features. The new technology simplifies attachment management and improves the operator’s view from the cab.
