The AutoNxt 45 HP electric tractor boasts an array of impressive features, including the ability to transport over 15 tons of goods, perform operations like reversible ploughing and rotary cultivation, and travel about 50 km on a single three-hour charge. The vehicle’s battery supports both three-phase and single-phase charging, offering a substantial reduction in fuel costs and environmental impact.

During the event, Dhonde shared his vision of revolutionising farming in India. He stressed the economic and environmental challenges posed by traditional diesel tractors and positioned the AutoNxt electric tractor as an affordable, efficient, and eco-friendly alternative. This initiative marks a significant step towards modernizing farming techniques and reducing the carbon footprint of the agricultural sector.
