Sonalika Tractors on Wednesday launched the country’s first field ready electric tractor ‘Tiger’. This is the company’s first e-tractor. Sonalika Tiger’s ex showroom price has been kept at Rs 5.99 lakh. Sonalika has also started booking for Tiger. The Tiger Electric tractor has a state-of-the-art IP67 compliant 25.5 kW natural cooling compact battery. The company claims that it reduces the running cost of the tractor by a quarter of that of a diesel tractor.
Sonalika Tiger has a top speed of 24.93 kmph. The battery backup of the electric tractor is 8 hours with a two-ton tractor trolley. The company is also offering an alternative fast charging system. With fast charging, the tractor can be fully charged in only 4 hours.
Raman Mittal, executive director of Sonalika Group, said that we have a promise to every farmer to provide new innovations continuously in terms of technology so that farming and profits can be better. With the Tiger Electric tractor, we have filled the gap between the concept and the field ready model. Along with this, it has also aligned with global benchmarks in farm mechanization technology.
