Deere Launches E-Power Electric Tractors for Farming

John Deere launches the E-Power series, electric tractors designed for vineyards, orchards, and dairies, offering 130 HP with eco-friendly performance.

Moline, Illinois - Deere & Company., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, has introduced a new E-Power series of electric agricultural tractors, aimed at reducing emissions and modernizing farming. Designed for vineyards, orchards, and dairies, these models offer performance comparable to the Deere 5 Series, delivering around 130 horsepower with the same power and functionality as their diesel counterparts.

The E-Power tractors are designed to appeal to experienced farmers while offering user-friendly operation for those less familiar with complex machinery. They maintain a familiar layout with a standard three-point hitch and hydraulic connections, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing implements. The rear design closely resembles traditional Deere models, prioritizing ergonomics and ease of use.

Mr. Derek Muller, Business manager for Battery electric vehicle systems at Deere, said, “The company has built these tractors from the ground up, following the same principles used in designing modern crossovers. This approach allows Deere to create a common platform that can be adapted to different needs, such as varying tire sizes or alternative fuel sources in the future.”

The E-Power tractors feature an intuitive, user-friendly design that eliminates the clutch pedal, making operation as easy as a golf cart. Their quiet, battery-powered engines reduce noise and vibration while ensuring smooth, continuous performance for long work shifts. Designed for the future, these tractors are also compatible with Deere’s next-gen autonomous system, advancing smart farming technology.

Battery technology is key to the E-Power tractors performance, supporting up to five batteries with liquid immersion cooling for all-weather operation. Rapid charging ensures flexibility, while a modular design allows battery removal for adaptability. Charging ports enable real-time monitoring via Deere's Operations Center, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
