Dr. Bhosale praised the innovation, highlighting its alignment with India’s goals amidst potential fuel shortages, as the launch event celebrated both the tractor’s debut and community pride.
Mr. Kaustubh Dhonde, the founder and CEO of AutoNxt, said, “Our nation depends heavily on agriculture, and farmers remain the backbone of the economy. Traditional diesel tractors, while reliable, are expensive to maintain and contribute to environmental harm. Our goal with the AutoNxt electric tractor was to provide farmers with an affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative.”
The AutoNxt 45 HP electric tractor delivers exceptional performance, capable of transporting over 15 tons and efficiently handling tasks like reversible plowing and rotary cultivation. With a three-hour charge, it can cover up to 50 km, and its battery supports both three-phase and single-phase charging, offering 60-70% fuel savings. This makes it an appealing choice for farmers aiming to reduce costs and their carbon footprint. AutoNxt’s innovation signals a shift toward a more sustainable and cost-effective future, transforming farming and industry for India’s agricultural workforce.
