This electric tractor knows everything that the traditional ones do, and it even has a surprise hidden inside.

Electric drive may be the future of tractor manufacturing, but we can already encounter some promising concepts in the present. There are two paths in agricultural machinery manufacturing for the future replacement of fossil fuel (gasoline) tractors. One solution is the hydrogen fuel cell system, which generates energy by mixing hydrogen and oxygen from the air. The other is the use of purely electric vehicles, which are already quite common on public roads. It is no coincidence that tractor manufacturers are considering the latter solution, including the lesser-known German company Tadus. The Agritechnica trade fair in Hanover this year provided a good opportunity to show the general public their essentially production-ready electric power unit. The model is named T16.20, and according to the manufacturer, it is capable of continuous operation in the fields and on sites. Its engine can deliver a continuous power output of 80 kW (110 HP), but if necessary – for shorter periods – ...
