The EU aims to be climate-neutral by 2050 – an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. This objective is at the heart of the European Green Deal. Thus, as the European economy is moving towards the green economy and various initiatives across the Europe are being taken to reduce the carbon emission is likely to drive the market for electric farm tractors.
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
The market is expected to have new opportunity, as the environment awareness across the region is growing at a rapid pace, and various countries are promoting the use of battery operated vehicles which is highly driving the market for electric farm tractors. For instance, in October 2018, the government of India announced to granted exemption to Battery Operated Transport Vehicles. Moreover, various other schemes has been also provided by government to encourage the farmers to promote the use of electric tractors. In addition to that, China also imposed a rule in the year 2019, where each Chinese vehicle manufacturer and importer is required to make or import at least 10% electric vehicles. Thus, efforts taken by the regulatory bodies are likely to help the market to grow further.
MARKET RESTRAINTS
The market has major restraining factor like popularity of conventional tractors in the market, since these tractors have strong horse power, due to which various heavy machineries can be operated with the help of these tractors. Also, the electric farm tractors are in the developing phase, still many of the technical advancements are taking place in these tractors, while conventional tractors are being used for a long period of time and there are numerous manufacturers available in the market, producing conventional tractor. Moreover, charging infrastructure is also not up to the mark in most of the part of Europe region, due to which conventional tractors are widely popular.
MARKET GROWTH CHALLENGES
The Covid-19 pandemic hampered the growth of market to major extent which has created a major challenges for the market growth. Also, these tractors run upon batteries which can be recharged and it generally takes 6-8 hours to get a battery charged on a residential 15 amps unit and with this recharged battery, an electric tractor can be operated for 60-80 kilometers at a maximum speed of 20-25kms/hour or they can run from 4-8 hours on a fully recharged battery. Thus, in many of the cases, it is not suitable for the farmers to use electric tractors as they take a long time to charge and once the battery is drained, the work might get hampered.
