New Electric - The converted Electric Tractor that pulls 30 tonnes

In today’s Fully Charged PLUS episode Robert speaks with New Electric founder Anne Kloppenberg about their 100% fully electric tractor conversion.
We featured this impressive vehicle briefly back in October 2021 on the main channel as part of Robert’s ‘Return of the Leaf’ episode, but we felt we’d share a bigger piece here on PLUS. The tractor has had the diesel engine, gearbox and transmission removed and is now 100% electric. Battery packs replace the area the diesel engine was housed in, and with 2 motors joined together by one gearbox, they have created double the power, up to 150 KW maximum. The tractor was designed to tow huge trailers full of building material around building sites in central Amsterdam where all combustion engines are soon to be banned.

Let’s see it at work pulling the 30 tonnes not just talking about it PLEASE.

[@koitorob]

For any Ukrainians watching, could you please confirm whether this can tow an abandoned tank away? 😁

[@frazermcmyn1814]

weight is a disadvantage because you have field compression, this only works for road runs, I'm yet to see a viable electric tractor that could actually do any farm work

[@Area51ca]

Emission free? Where does the electricity come from? Admirable but not emission free....yet.

[@TheJttv]

Send it to Ukraine. A silent tractor would haunt the russian tank crews.

[@Gecmajster123456]

this EV tractor probably never happened ! :)

[@timmurphy5541]

....but can it pull a tank?

[@kulan9379]

I am an farmer and i need this 😁😁😁 i nag on the local tractor dealer for the electric version of the diesel every time i meet him. Will show him this. IT IS DOABLE 😁😁😁

[@danielribbing8080]

Trust in the lord for he is with you turn form your sins and you shall be saved even I need to praying for that for everyone and healing comfort and praying for helping find curniouses🙏❤️

[@phalanx3803]

is it ironic that Fendt made a legit try at this once and it totally flopped. it will do OK for hauling but pulling and PTO work will kill it a 3m power harrow would drain it 3 hours not even 1/3 of a days work.

So glad you went back for another interview. I will always remember him and his boat conversion fondly. It's been years, but look how far he's come.

[@petermcfadden6962]

RL is just the best; always enjoy his interviews, expertise, and humour

[@pauld6967]

Showing us the full interview was indeed a good idea. Thank you.

[@MikesTropicalTech]

Way to go Anne! I met him back in the day at Jack Rickard's EVCCON and I visited his shop in Amsterdam in 2015.

[@TestTest-eb8jr]

Another brilliant piece of Dutch (pragmatic) engineering....

[@billycan8852]

Very interesting more fully electric tractor stuff please .

[@frejaresund3770]

I have been enjoyed, so thank you for delivering.

[@steverichmond7142]

I remember the video which works with the previous video on converting dust bin wagons. .... Very clever.

[@Leopold5100]

excellent, as always

[@davidwilkie9551]

This is what we were waiting for.
