Farmtrac launched its all-new, all-electric tractor model at Lamma 2020.

Dignitaries from the world of technology, engineering, agriculture and politics were all on stand to hear about the innovative new technology.

Professor Jane Rickson, president of the Institution of Agricultural Engineers (IAgrE), Ed Hansom, CEO of IAgrE, and Mr Chakraborty, consul and public information officer for the Consulate General of India, all attended the stand to learn how the production-ready FT25G electric tractor featuring a lithium-ion battery represents the future of agriculture.

Jane Rickson said: “On behalf of the Institution of Agricultural Engineers, Ed Hansom and I were delighted to be invited to the Reesink stand at Lamma this year. By launching Farmtrac’s new FT25G electric tractor, Reesink is helping make agriculture a more environmentally friendly industry.

“With lithium-ion battery technology and quick charge time, this compact and agile tractor represents a significant development in agricultural engineering. Its environmental credentials include zero emissions and low noise levels.

Ed Hansom, CEO of IAgrE, said: “I was very impressed with Reesink’s all electric tractor. It captures a market which must surely only increase as climate change issues and associated legislation climb ever higher up the political agenda.”
