When engineers specify components that aren’t automotive-rated, they are then forced to spend time in extensive testing to make sure their vehicles don’t catch fire. But the problem is going to come in 2035 when they exhaust that 40%. Case New Holland brought out a methane-powered tractor that [runs on methane] made from farm waste.
