The AgriEMS project, developed within the Hazitek program framework, will enable quick and easy battery extraction and swapping in tractors, increasing their range and reducing downtime.
This development is part of the AgriEMS project (ZL-2025/00856), co-funded by the Basque Government through the Hazitek program and by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The new system will allow discharged batteries to be removed and replaced within minutes with fully charged ones, avoiding prolonged stops and ensuring continuity of field operations.
Agricultural machinery electrification is advancing, but still faces a key challenge: ensuring long working hours without interruptions. To address this need, ZETRACK, in collaboration with AGRIA and IKERLAN, is developing its own battery management system (BMS) that enables quick battery swapping in electric agricultural and industrial vehicles.
With this project, AGRIA ZE and its partners are moving towards a more efficient, sustainable agricultural machinery model adapted to the real demands of the field. The ability to swap batteries quickly translates into increased operating hours and a significant reduction in emissions, without compromising productivity.
