After i Biodisesel tractors used by the Monte Vibiano company in its project to zero emissions another interesting novelty for sustainable agriculture comes from Tuscany: it is the "hybrid" tractor developed by the company Edi Progetti of Pontedera, in the Province of Pisa.
The tractor, powerful, quiet and compact, mounts like the i hybrid vehicles used for the sustainable mobility two engines, one traditional diesel and one electric, which can also work in synergy for maximum performance. The result of research, which was also able to take advantage of public funds for technological innovation, this new tractor is the result of the collaboration between Edi Progetti, Same Deuthz Fahr, one of the world's leading manufacturers of tractors and agricultural machinery, and the Ministry of the University. and Research.
The tractor - he says Marco Doveri, owner of Edi Progetti - was designed to work both inside greenhouses and outside, especially in orchards. It is a highly innovative vehicle, the result of an international patent, capable of operating the two engines in a combined manner and therefore capable of obtaining very high performance, especially in terms of speed. All in the maximum comfort of those who drive the tractor and, above all, respecting the environment with an important contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
Furthermore, we add, such a vehicle, if marketed in time, could also be able to access the incentives for 2010 recently launched by the Government which, we recall, has allocated part of the financing precisely to the purchase of energy-efficient tractors. .
Il hybrid tractor it is not the only project developed at Edi Progetti. The company, in fact, has been active since 1985 and for years has collaborated with Piaggio, the famous company of Vespa which is based in Pontedera: Edi Progetti is carrying out numerous initiatives in the field of sustainable mobility by developing projects on its own and on behalf of other subjects in the field of electric motors but also in those powered by hydrogen. In fact, the Pontedera company designs, develops, builds and tests engines, machinery, vehicles and mechanical accessories, also building numerous prototypes thanks to the use of highly specialized and qualified personnel.
Furthermore, in a short time, once the roof arrangement works have been completed, photovoltaic panels will also be installed on the roof of the headquarters of Edi Progettthe. the photovoltaic system will be destined to supply the energy needs of the company and, therefore, the production of hybrid vehicles in an extremely virtuous circle: an innovative company that produces vehicles suitable for sustainable mobility which, moreover, meets its energy needs through the use of a renewable source of energy, the PV.
