The electric tractor will be more environmentally friendly than other types of tractors
The first-ever electric tractor in the country has been tested at the Central Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institute (CFMTTI) in Budni, Madhya Pradesh.
An official statement said that CFMTTI had received an application for an electric tractor under confidential test initially. Accordingly, it tested the tractor and released the draft test report in February this year.
After the release of the draft test report, the manufacturer sought for conversion of the nature of the test from “confidential to commercial” and the competent authority accepted the request from the manufacturer.
