FEATURES
INNOVATIVE JOHN DEERE E-DRIVE SYSTEM DELIVERS PREMIUM PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY
WHAT IT IS
The Electric Drive system (E-Drive) is composed of a brushless electric generator and motor, power electronics (inverter), an electric brake resistor, and a simplified PowerShift transmission. This E-Drive system offers next level size class performance, ease of operation, and longevity to customers that invest in this innovative technology. The entire system works to dynamically adjust engine speed to meet tractive and hydraulic loads, ensuring 644 X-tier loaders can maintain stockpiles, heap hoppers, and load trucks with the highest efficiency. All of John Deeres E-Drive components are performance proven with over 2 million field hours accumulated and counting.

HOW IT WORKS
Brushless generator converts rotational energy from the engine into 3-phase alternating current (AC) electrical energy
AC energy is supplied to the inverter, which delivers energy to the motor based on operator demand
Single brushless electric motor converts AC energy back to rotational energy and torque, replacing the job of a torque converter
Simplified PowerShift transmission maintains smooth shifting across four operating speed ranges
When decelerating, the electric motor can also act as a generator to recapture energy from the loaders inertia and recycle it back into the system
Brake resistor passively consumes excess recycled energy whenever the inverter actively controls its circuit

WHY IT MATTERS
Electric motor doubling as a generator when decelerating reduces engine load and fuel consumption
Electric motor turns transmission bi-directionally to switch from forward to reverse, eliminating directional control clutch pack from transmission and reducing shifting
Brake resistor dissipates excess recaptured energy, reducing brake wear and lowering maintenance costs
Maintaining a constant engine speed of 1600 rpm reduces engine wear and increases fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance
The inverter constantly monitors all energy in the system and determines the most efficient path
Brushless motor and generator provide quieter operation ideal for commercial and residential areas

E-DRIVE ENABLES INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND UNIQUE MACHINE FEATURES
The E-Drive delivers similar or better productivity benefits over conventional drive train machines while burning less fuel against machines in its size class and those in the next size class up. Several different features and modes assist 644 X-tier loaders with achieving this productivity across a range of jobsite applications. Whether operators are looking to control engine speed, torque, or idle, there are many John Deere exclusives and unique innovations available to deliver the best user experience.

PRODUCTIVITY ADVANTAGES
The Deere 644 X holds its own against loaders within its size class and those in the next size class up, having higher or similar productivity in common applications like Hopper Loading and Stockpiling
The 644 X also averages a 10-13 percent fuel efficiency advantage over the competition meaning that it delivers similar or higher levels of productivity while burning less fuel
Due to the innovative E-Drive system, the 644 X has the fastest acceleration times on both flat terrain and up a standard sloped ramp when compared to competing machines

E-DRIVE FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE MODES
Coast Control enables dynamic braking to slow the machine and reduce fuel consumption compared to machines without this feature. Three setting levels allow the operator to adjust the aggressiveness of machine deceleration with the use of electric brake resistors. When enabled, one pedal controls forward movement as well as dynamic braking.
Normal Mode adjusts engine speed to match load requirements nothing more, nothing less. Engine speed automatically adjusts up to either 1450 or 1600 RPM to meet hydraulic and tractive loads.
Productivity Mode holds engine speed steady at either 1450 or 1600 RPM and is ready to deliver power when needed. Operator does not need to wait for RPM to increase which reduces cycle times and increases productivity compared to normal mode.
Maintaining a constant engine speed reduces engine wear and increases fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance versus running at rated engine speed. Specifically, the 644 X-tier consumes 10 percent less fuel than the 644 P-tier model in hopper loading applications while offering similar productivity.

LEADING IN SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH FUEL AND MAINTENANCE BENEFITS
The 644 X-tier is the most fuel-efficient machine in its size class and in the next size class up meaning that it can move more material while burning less fuel. This allows operations to put more material through the crusher or asphalt plant while burning less fuel, providing most of its sustainability benefits. In addition, its design efficiencies recognize environmental impact reductions to lower carbon emissions and reduce the machines overall environmental impact.
The 644 X burns up to 10 percent less fuel than competitors within its size class and up to 15 percent less fuel than competitors in the next size class up in common applications. These numbers translate into approximately 150,000 kg of CO2 that is prevented from entering the atmosphere over 15,000 machine hours, the equivalent amount of the electricity used by 11 homes over a years time.
Lower volumes of oil and fluids are required when performing recommended preventative maintenance, saving up to 1,700 kg of CO2 over 15,000 hours of operation compared to competitive machines. This is the equivalent of charging around 200,000 cellphones.
Electric Drive components are designed to last in excess of 30,000 hours, meaning they can remain with the machine throughout its entire life without needing to be replaced. This extends the longevity of the machine and lowers the overall manufacturing footprint.
