And the greatness with stopping and starting is we can then actually use that energy, recuperate that energy to put it back into the battery to then last, you know, last longer for those tasks.
Now, make no mistake, you're not going to be seeing this tractor on plows and power harrows and doing heavy work.
This is a light duty routine practice.
Not as of yet, but we are sort of in an open trial period with a couple of our customers just to see how we're getting along with it.
Base retail price on this product is โฌ235,000.
And we are going to be launching it actually in Ireland in the ICE Construction Expo, which is...
It's around middle of May, not far from Dublin.
So if you want to come and see yourself, this very tractor will be there.
Obviously, there's been a lot of research, a lot of development gone into this.
Obviously, buying the battery is a lot more of an investment than buying the diesel engine.
So hence the retail price of this machine.
And it's not just a diesel price thing.
You know, farmers across the UK and Ireland are being targeted on reducing their emissions for milk production.
Well, this this is also a way of doing that.
You know, if you have access to solar panels or wind energy, you know,
and you can charge this tractor off of that, then you are bringing your emissions level down, which obviously then results in an incentive for the people going for milk contracts and things like that.
