Overview
- Diess announced Wednesday that he has founded Diess E‑Agrartechnik AG in Munich and plans first deliveries of a mid‑class electric tractor in 2027.
- The tractor will use a swappable battery system that Diess says is designed to allow near‑continuous or '24/7' operation by exchanging depleted packs for charged ones.
- Diess has positioned the product as cost‑competitive with diesel from launch, claiming roughly 50% lower operating costs by using swap batteries and on‑farm solar power, though those savings are unverified.
- The firm says it will offer an ecosystem of battery‑swap and solar charging stations, electric implements and future autonomous machines and is working with an unnamed D/A/CH machinery partner and suppliers.
- Key details remain undisclosed or unconfirmed: the company was not yet listed in the federal register at the time of reporting, partner names, technical specs, certification and pricing have not been published.
