HELLA rear lighting for new Fendt tractor series

The seventh generation of the popular Fendt 700 Vario tractors has a particularly distinctive appearance - not only during the day, but also at night. And HELLA rear lamps play a significant role in this. When it gets dark and the curved lines of the futuristic vehicle concept blur in the twilight, the lights specially developed for Fendt shape the rear view of the tractor. The combined tail, brake, and turn signal lights resemble two stylized high-speed trains and give the vehicle a distinctive, dynamic look.

The custom rear lamps seamlessly integrate into the design and are also perfectly matched to the tractor's technical specifications. The LED technology is practically indestructible, meeting Fendt's agricultural machinery specifications, which require high vibration resistance and special protection against dust and water. The rear lamps are the first to be controlled through the Controller Area Network (CAN-Bus) in the HELLA Special Original Equipment (SOE) portfolio. This allows for control of all LEDs and light functions. Among other things, the voltage supply of the lights is continuously monitored and adjusted to ensure maximum LED lifespan. In everyday use, the compliant dimming of light intensity in night driving mode is particularly pleasant, avoiding driver glare.

The tail, stop, and direction indicator lights with full LED technology are equipped with 18 high-performance LEDs for the direction indicator and 27 LEDs for the stop and tail lights. They provide a homogeneous appearance of the tail and brake light functions. The lights are available with ECE and SAE approval. The ECE direction indicator has a wiper function, while the SAE approval also includes yellow flashing. The lights are connected via a 4-pin Deutsch connector. Development, production, and documentation comply with the requirements of functional safety according to ISO 14229 (ISO 23232).

Fendt 700 Vario Gen7 sets new standards
