This solution aims to reduce fuel costs and emissions while enhancing farm productivity.
Ethanol Flex-Fuel Tractor Engine
Mahindra introduced a pioneering flex-fuel engine designed to run on ethanol produced from sugarcane, maize, maize husk, stubble, crop residue, and other agricultural biomass. This innovation supports India’s transition towards biofuel-based rural energy systems.
Electric Tractor
Developed on the global lightweight Mahindra OJA platform, the electric tractor ensures significantly lower operating costs, superior torque delivery, and enhanced energy efficiency across multiple applications. It is also equipped with a fast-charging option to maximise uptime for farmers.
All the showcased technologies were developed at Mahindra Research Valley (MRV) in Chennai, building on decades of advanced engineering and innovation leadership. These solutions place Mahindra at the forefront of India’s push towards sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture.
