(Punjab)-based LD Mittal and family controlled International Tractors Limited,
under its Solis Yanmar range, has launched the premium Solis Hybrid 5015
tractor with Japanese hybrid technology at Rs. 7.21 lakh (ex-showroom – Pan

Japanese innovations and delivers benefits of three tractors in one tractor,
the company said in a statement. ITL has developed this new technology
pertaining to the tractor in collaboration with its Japanese partner Yanmar
Agribusiness Co. Ltd.

has become the first tractor manufacturer in India to introduce ‘E-Powerboost’
- the Japanese hybrid technology under its Solis Yanmar range and has also
patented the related product technologies. With the launch of new Solis Hybrid
5015 tractor, ITL aims to further strengthen Solis Yanmar’s position as the 4W
drive tractor experts.
The
new 50 HP Solis Hybrid 5015 tractor is a customised product that optimises
traditional diesel engine power combined with electric energy to deliver
sustainable performance and high speed, similar to what is offered by a 60 HP
tractor. The efficient heavy duty mileage engine of the futuristic tractor
consumes fuel similar to that of 45HP tractor, thereby reducing fuel
consumption and save costs.
Using
a simple ‘Power booster’ switch on the dashboard and a hand-operated lever, the
customer would experience smooth power adjustment to gain a powerful boost in
tractor performance. The advanced vehicle controller monitors the energy and
the tractor also gets faster acceleration with its highly efficient electric
motor. With the power booster, the Solis Hybrid5015 tractor becomes the most
powerful in its segment to offer unmatched performance.
