The tractors in this range have between 20 and 75 horsepower, making them ideal for use in greenhouses and orchards. The tractors are designed with a straightforward, minimalist approach, featuring a limited number of electronic components. The new electric tractor has been designed from scratch, rather than adapted from an existing model. Tafe Tractors presented at Eima its line of 'light' tractors, which are well-suited to Italian horticulture.

Massimo Ribaldone, head of technology innovation at Tafe: "We have designed an electric tractor with 28 horsepower, the EV 28, for greenhouse cultivation. It incorporates cutting-edge technology in a straightforward, user-friendly design. As with all our machines, we have engineered it to perform reliably and efficiently in challenging conditions."
