IVT | Agriculture, a world ripe for electrification

The move towards electric vehicles in agriculture may go against the traditional grain but battery solutions are already proving to be a success.

An epoch-making revolution is under way in Europe. The transition to electric for green and sustainable mobility is a real paradigm shift that isn’t sparing any sector, including agriculture, which has traditionally relied on internal combustion engines.

Big, medium or small, agricultural producers are embracing the concept of “zero emissions” and are now on the fast track towards environmental and technological sustainability. More and more hybrid and full-electric applications are appearing on the market, for greater flexibility and efficiency and in an effort to generate energy without having to resort to polluting fossil fuel sources.

“The whole market context is changing”, explained Flash Battery’s Sales Manager, Matteo Donelli, “that’s why we are present in Europe both directly and through partnerships with highly expert powertrain system integrators, including Atech GmbH in Germany, Efa France in France and Q-Tronic in Benelux; for these three markets, which alone account for 80% of the European electrification market in the industrial machinery and electric vehicle segment, agricultural electrification is the hottest near-future trend”.
