The company also marked a major milestone with the TAFE EV28 electric tractor being named among the Top 5 finalists in the “Tractor of the Year (TOTY) 2026” Sustainable Tractor category.

The launch underscores TAFE’s transition from a pure tractor manufacturer to a comprehensive farm-solutions business, with a clear strategy to become a global leader in the sub-100 HP tractor segment. The company is making significant investments in precision AgTech, automation, electrification, and alternate-energy platforms to support farmers across global markets.

TAFE EVX75 – Next-generation hybrid tractor

The TAFE EVX75 represents a breakthrough in hybrid tractor technology, designed to deliver high performance, flexibility, and reduced emissions. It combines a 75 HP hybrid powertrain with an EU Stage V diesel engine and a 400 V electric battery system.

The dual powertrain enables two operating modes:

  • Zero-emission electric mode – ideal for sensitive environments and short-range work
  • Hybrid mode – for high-demand field operations requiring sustained power

This configuration delivers lower emissions, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced operating costs, while maintaining the performance levels expected in global commercial farming.

The EVX75 features a liquid-cooled high-voltage system for reliability, a 3-speed transmission with speeds up to 40 km/h, and is equipped with:

  • Full HVAC cabin for operator comfort
  • Electro-hydraulic rear lift
  • Independent PTO for flexible implement use
  • High-flow hydraulics and automation-ready interfaces

With its combination of electric drive capability, hybrid efficiency, and operator-focused design, the EVX75 sets a new benchmark for sustainable, high-output hybrid tractors in the global market.

TAFE Terra 2.0 – Vision-based guidance and digital platform

TAFE also introduced Terra 2.0, which integrates its Terra Vista vision-based guidance system into a unified digital platform. Terra 2.0 is designed to provide affordable, scalable, and adaptable Agri-tech solutions for farmers.

The system enables smarter, data-driven operations across different tractor platforms, enhancing precision in fieldwork while supporting automation and future-ready digital farming workflows.
