Palo Alto, California, USA
Bakur Kvezereli, Founder and CEO of Ztractor together with Stefan Marjanović, Lead Industrial Designer, have developed the world’s first autonomous tractor—the Bearcub-24, which increases farming efficiency, productivity, safety on the field while reducing production cost and environmental footprint.
The new Bearcub-24 was recently awarded a 2021 Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
For years, the agricultural and farming world has envisioned an autonomous robot tractor and now it’s become a reality.
The novelty technology is the first practical step to decarbonizing the agriculture industry, the third-largest contributor to carbon emissions on earth.
The tractor is able to improve both the working conditions of the agriculture workforce and open up opportunities for analysis of crops to improve yield and other optimization of agriculture using artificial intelligence.’
The sleek, handsomely stream-lined 100% electric Bearcub-4 Ztractor collects real-time agriculture data while operating in the field. The sensors, cameras, and measuring equipment are generating a unique set of big data.
The IoT framework with a machine learning algorithm interprets the data to achieve higher efficiency, improve plant condition and increase yield at every farm.
This all-electric tractor is ideal for vegetables, berries, and grape growers. Electric powered three-point hitch and PTO are supporting all category-1 implements.
The battery algorithms and Battery Management System (BMS) made electric tractors the reality in this decade.
Ztractor’s engineers’ priority was to create the product with a unique user experience for the early customers of Ztractor.
The tractor has an adjustable chassis system which makes it flexible with row width and bed size across the crops.
Ztractor has also developed software to provide autonomous functionality to Bearcub-24.
The tractor is equipped with proven technologies to guarantee safe and smooth operations.
