At Equip Expo 2024, Yanmar America introduced its fully electric tractor concept, powered by Eleo advanced off-highway battery technology. This e-tractor demonstrates Yanmar's commitment to delivering powerful, efficient, and sustainable solutions that meet the evolving needs of rural landowners and the agricultural sector.
Yanmar's electric tractor brings together cutting-edge technology which underpins the future of farming—one that balances high performance with eco-friendly practices. Built to tackle the demands of modern agriculture, the e-tractor helps landowners reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing the power and reliability they've come to expect
"At Equip Expo, Yanmar is excited to reveal a broader range of tractors designed to meet the needs of more types of rural landowners and landscape contractors, including the Kuro Edition SA223 and our most powerful tractor yet, the SM475," said Jon Richardson, Director of Yanmar America's Rural Lifestyle Division. "Yanmar is also leading the way with its first battery-powered concept tractor, a crucial step to becoming a fully carbon-neutral organization as part of the Yanmar Green Challenge 2050. Taken together, these new tractors continue the Yanmar tradition of producing powerful yet efficient, versatile, and comfortable tractors built to last."
The e-tractor promises a quieter, cleaner, and more sustainable farming experience, while still upholding Yanmar's high-performance standards. By positioning itself at the forefront of electric tractor technology, Yanmar is providing landowners with a powerful solution to achieve positive environmental impacts without compromising productivity.
The e-tractor was unveiled alongside Yanmar's new SM475, the company's most powerful tractor for North America, and the limited-edition SA223 Kuro. Together, these innovations provide a glimpse into the next generation of farming equipment, all designed to handle the rigors of off-highway applications with the durability and versatility Yanmar is known for.
At the core of this innovative tractor is Eleo advanced off-highway battery pack technology. Engineered for peak efficiency, these battery packs offer long operational life and fast recharge capabilities—ideal for the agricultural environment. Eleo battery packs are designed to meet the heavy energy demands of long working hours, while the moderate power requirements allow for flexible energy management. Plus, in tractors and other farming equipment, space is often limited, requiring a compact battery solution that does not compromise performance.
With farms typically located close to grid-connected infrastructure, there are also convenient and effective charging opportunities, enabling smaller, more cost-efficient battery packs. This combination of cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly efficiency makes Yanmar's electric tractor concept a game changer for the future of sustainable farming.
