  "account": "A new electric tractor, the Tadus T16.20, has been showcased in Garching. Unlike traditional combustion engine tractors, it operates quietly, with only the sounds of its tires, hydraulic pumps, and electric motors audible. The tractor accelerates quickly and smoothly to a top speed of 40 km/h without needing to change gears, thanks to its two electric motors, one for the front and one for the rear axle. The tractor's maximum power output is 120 kW/160 PS, and it is powered by a 196 kWh battery.",
  "summary": "Electric drives have so far played hardly any role in the field. However, manufacturers such as Tadus are showing the first series-ready models. What electric tractors can and cannot do.",
