Autonext Automation is a Mumbai-based startup that has revolutionized the tractor industry by launching electric tractors. These tractors use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous technology, making them easy to operate without a driver. The company has recently raised Rs 6.4 crore in seed funding to develop India's first electric tractor, and it is now preparing to launch three models in 20 HP, 35 HP, and 45 HP variants in the current financial year. In this post, we will take a closer look at Autonext Automation's electric tractors and their features.
Autonext Automation has manufactured three different tractor variants, namely the X20H4 Electric Tractor, the X35H2 Electric Tractor, and the X45H2 Electric Tractor. Here are the key features of each model:

Apart from electric tractors, Autonext Automation is also preparing to launch electric self-driving tractors. The company is expected to launch the Electric Self-Driving Tractor (Autonomous) in the market in 2024. The company is also actively working on its automation stack powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 5G technology, which they are testing on various use cases of tractors. The company plans to release the self-driving tractor by 2024, which will increase the profitability of electric tractors and reduce the difficulties faced by farmers while driving the tractor in the field in adverse conditions.
In addition to launching electric tractors, AutoNext Automation is also set to introduce mobile applications that will help farmers manage their tractors efficiently. The company has developed a smart VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) for its tractors, which provides a complete smart analysis of tractor performance, health, and the possibility of leasing tractors.
The mobile application will allow farmers to access real-time data about their tractors, including battery level, charging time, and performance metrics. Farmers can also use the app to remotely control and monitor their tractors, making it easier for them to manage their farming operations.
