Kubota saw recently held CES 2024 in Las Vegas as an opportunity, to display its future-oriented long-term vision “GMB2030”. The new Agri Concept vehicle is part of the future of agriculture, envisioned in GMB2030.
The vehicle is fully electric and capable of automated operation. Unlike current automated tractors, it does not require visual monitoring by humans, and can operate autonomously and safely based on information from cameras and sensors. In addition, while ensuring long periods of operation is generally an issue when adopting electric-powered industrial machinery, the vehicle has a quick charging feature capable of recharging the battery from 10% to 80% within 6 minutes.
The vehicle has been designed for a wide range of applications in the agricultural field, including wine vineyards. Its six independent drive motors and a standard three-point hitch allow it plowing, hauling, and a broad variety of other tasks.
The concept video shown at CES 2024 depicted a vision for the future of agriculture achievable by combining the vehicle’s capabilities with other cutting-edge technologies such as automated collection of farming data, advanced AI-driven analyses, and remote monitoring of farming conditions.
