Livermore-based company Monarch is seeking to innovate the agriculture and farming industry with its new all-electric, data enhanced, autonomous tractor.
Livermore-based Monarch Tractor introduced its first fully electric, driver-optional, smart tractor last week at Wente Vineyards.
âWe are thrilled to announce the ahead-of-schedule deployment of the first Monarch Tractor,â said CEO Praveen Penmetsa. âOur tractor has undergone strenuous real-world testing and is now ready to get to work and deliver on the promise of a more sustainable and efficient farming operation.â
Monarch was formed in December 2019 by Motivo Engineering in Fremont to market the companyâs patented next-generation tractor, initially developed with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Wente Vineyards in Livermore partnered with Monarch during beta testing to evaluate the tractorâs real-life performance.
