If it runs like a Deere, looks like a Deere, and smells like a Deere, it's a Deere. But without the smell of gasoline in upcoming lawn equipment what is that? It's just more dear than ever. Thanks, John Deere, for going green.
The company is running to develop lithium-ion battery lawn and utilities vehicles, expecting to have a line of them by 2026.
"We're running for a world where people and planet prosper," says their website. "Our work spans the globe. Whether we’re helping farmers put food on tables or construction crews build roads that connect communities, John Deere is working for every person on the planet. For us, that means 8 billion opportunities to make an impact. Together with our customers, we’re stewarding a more sustainable world, and we’re not wasting any time."
A month or so ago, John Deere advertising would come across my Facebook newsfeed, hailing its efforts to go green. Of course, the good number of readers hit the like button, but I was shocked at how many hit the laugh button, laughing at what John Deere was doing. It was as if they were laughing at climate change and John Deere's efforts to do something about it. Bless the dear company for taking the abuse and forging ahead.
