The Europard 824 is powered by a Perkins diesel engine producing 82 hp, or 61 kW, and is fitted with mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD). This places the machine among the medium-sized general-purpose tractors with front-drive assistance for general field work.

Perkins engines are widely used industrial diesel units that many agricultural-machinery manufacturers worldwide buy in rather than developing their own. Mechanical front-wheel drive engages the front axle as needed, improving traction on loose or sloping ground compared with pure rear-wheel drive, without the technical complexity of a permanent four-wheel-drive system.

When buying a Foton Europard 824 secondhand, the condition of the front axle differential and the joints of the engageable front-wheel drive, and the injection pump and injectors of the Perkins diesel engine, matter most. Also worth checking are wear in the clutch and gearbox and the brakes; parts for the Perkins engine are comparatively easy to find through the international parts trade, while it is worth asking the importer for Foton-specific components.
