Chinese start-up introduces electric tractor

At first glance, the Fendt e107 S Vario looks very similar to the diesel-powered 207 Vario. However, the absence of an exhaust pipe immediately stands out. There’s no three-cylinder engine idling.

Outside the tractor, the motor's hum is clearly audible, but inside the cabin, it’s hardly noticeable—especially with the radio on. – Photos: Jacco van Erkelens
