Kubota’s Agri Concept is a fully electric multipurpose designed for agriculture but containing technologies that could be applied across its compact equipment lineup, as well.
Unveiled during CES 2024, Agri Concept includes: automatic data collection, real-time monitoring, AI identifying potential issues, automation addressing labor challenges, water management automation, and a data platform enhancing productivity.
“Kubota is transforming from a trusted equipment provider into a solutions provider,” said Todd Stucke, president of Kubota Tractor Corp., in a statement. “We are well known in the compact equipment market for our versatility, durability, and reliability, and our machines have always been easy to own and easy to operate. Today, they’re evolving to be even more intuitive, putting data and AI directly in the hands of residential equipment owners to enhance their lives and make things easier, more productive, and more efficient.”
The Agri Concept vehicle has six independent drive motors and a standard three-point hitch. The electric vehicle can fast charge from 10% to 80% in less than six minutes, according to the company, giving users flexibility and reducing downtime.
