Hyderabad, Apr 14 (FN Agency) International Tractors Limited (ITL) has launched the advanced Solis Hybrid 5015 tractor with Japanese hybrid technology at an exceptional price of Rs 7.21 lakh (ex-showroom Pan India). India’s fastest growing tractor manufacturer and the No.1 Exports brand, ITL has developed the new technology marvel in collaboration with its Japanese partner Yanmar Agribusiness Company Limited to deliver benefits of three tractors in one tractor, the company said in a release here on Wednesday. ITL has become the first tractor manufacturer in India to introduce ‘E-Powerboost’ – the Japanese hybrid technology under its Solis Yanmar range and has also patented the related product technologies.
With the launch of the new Solis Hybrid 5015 tractor, ITL aims to further strengthen Solis Yanmar’s position as the 4W drive tractor experts. The new 50 HP Solis Hybrid 5015 tractor is a customised product that optimises traditional diesel engine power combined with electric energy to deliver sustainable performance and high speed. The efficient heavy duty mileage engine of the futuristic tractor consumes fuel similar to that of a 45HP tractor, thereby reducing fuel consumption and saving costs. The advanced vehicle controller monitors the energy and the tractor also gets faster acceleration with its highly efficient electric motor. With the power booster, the Solis Hybrid 5015 tractor becomes the most powerful in its segment to offer unmatched performance, the company claimed. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Raman Mittal, Executive Director, ITL, said the Hybrid tractor comes with lithium ion battery and advanced motor to reduce pollution and increase farmer’s confidence for increased productivity.
The high voltage tractor battery can be charged with a simple 16A household socket plug and can be fully charged in less than 3 hours, making it a promising premium tractor that delivers benefits of three tractors in one tractor for farmers in India. The new tractor by Solis Yanmar also features such an auto-charging cut-off function that results in longer battery life. It also offers ‘charging on the go’ for continuous battery charging when the throttle is not engaged. Additionally, the Solis Hybrid 5015 gets a user-friendly ‘Smart LED display’ that depicts battery level charge in the tractor. The new tractor is being manufactured at the company’s Hoshiarpur plant (Punjab), which is the world’s number 1 vertically integrated tractor manufacturing facility.
