Elektromobilität: Diese Traktoren brauchen keinen Diesel
Auf dem Acker spielt der Elektroantrieb bislang kaum eine Rolle. Dabei zeigen die Hersteller wie Tadus erste serienreife Modelle. Was Elektro-Traktoren können und was nicht.
In Garching, an electric tractor called Tadus T16.20 demonstrates how modern technology can eliminate diesel-powered farming equipment. The tractor's electric motors produce minimal noise, aside from the sound of its 28-inch front and 38-inch rear tires, hydraulic pumps, and the hum of electric motors. Inside the driver's cockpit, the difference is evident: the professional operator's right foot on the orange pedal provides a spontaneous and forceful acceleration without shifting gears.
The Tadus T16.20 accelerates to 40 km/h, with a maximum speed of 20 km/h in reverse. The tractor can switch between forward and reverse modes without interruption, including regenerative braking. Tadus developer Thaddäus Baier has not yet quantified the significant torque, but it is evident in the tractor's powerful performance.
With 120 kW/160 PS of maximum power, the tractor's 196 kWh rechargeable battery allows it to set the stage for efficient and quiet agricultural work.
