The TADUS tractor
The electrically powered 100 kW universal tractor fully meets the requirements of agricultural applications, achieves the highest standards of energy efficiency, thereby saving enormous costs and protecting the environment and materials.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the TADUS tractor have an exhaust?
The exhaust, which can be seen in many videos and photos of the TADUS test vehicle, irritates many – which is also very understandable.
The existing diesel engine of the base vehicle was left in the test vehicle and now serves as a diesel generator to generate electricity on board, a kind of range extender. For this reason, the exhaust was also left in the test vehicle. Depending on the application, the energy from the battery is sufficient or we can switch on the diesel generator. However, we only have this equipment in the test vehicle, as it allows us to design and test the combination with more than one energy supply. No diesel generator is integrated in the series model, only a battery, albeit with a significantly higher capacity (200 kWh) than is available on the test vehicle (50 kWh).
When will the TADUS tractor be available in series production?
We are currently working on the near-series prototype, which will already have all the features of the TADUS series tractor and is scheduled for completion at the beginning of 2025. We will then test and optimize this prototype in detail. As soon as the prototype is running to our complete satisfaction, we will accept the first orders. This should be the case in the second half of 2025.
We are funded by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs as part of the funding program “Bavarian Energy Research Program”
