Voltis High Clearance Tractor
Tecnoma’s Voltis electric high-clearance tractor offers an alternative to using fossil fuel, for more sustainable winegrowing. The use of electrical energy presents a number of advantages for both winegrowers and consumers: economic (consumption, maintenance), comfort (reduced noise level), safety (braking, grip, stability), and health (lack of pollution of the environment and plants by hydrocarbons and exhaust gases).
The Voltis uses a lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack to store electrical energy. A full charge requires eight to nine hours on a standard electricity network, and the tractor then has a range of four to 12 hours depending on the nature of the work, the speed, and the relief.
Its small back-up generator set can be used to provide additional range or merely return the high-clearance vehicle to base if the batteries run down completely.
The tractor uses electrical energy for propulsion and to operate its tools via two power take-offs or current outputs. The tractor is steered by a joystick in the cabin, and an electronic system controls all the functions (speed, electricity consumption, acceleration, deceleration, torque, battery pack temperature, and gears).
