CH4pa is a vehicle that runs on biomethane and is used in agriculture
CH4pa is a useful new technology that was made to meet the needs of Brazilian farmers. A test model was made and used in the southern Brazilian province of Paraná. The main things that make CH4pa stand out are: Low costs because biomethane is used as a fuel; Modularity and flexibility because of different transport bodies and a 3-point hutch for standard tools; Easy maintenance because of a very sturdy design and standard parts; Energy independence and being good for the environment; CH4pa is made by local tractor makers who have a license to do so. The chassis is made from steel plates that are trim, bent, and welded together. It does not take a lot of expensive machinery to make it.
