Value proposition
Offers increased efficiency, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability by using a simplified, modular, and software-defined autonomous electric vehicle platform that reduces maintenance complexity.
Products and solutions
Autonomous electric tractor platform
Unique value
Dual-use technology that reimagines the traditional tractor via a 'first principles redesign', employing distributed electric propulsion (per-wheel motors) and a software-defined control system that enables live, adaptive experiments in the field.
Target customer
Farmers, agricultural businesses, and military logistics organizations (potentially NATO departments)
Industries served
Agriculture, Defense/Military Logistics
Technology advantage
Modular design with 70% fewer parts, reducing maintenance and operational costs while providing flexibility for both agricultural and defense applications.
How they differentiate
Focuses on a first principles redesign of the tractor for simplicity and reliability, along with dual-use capabilities and a software-defined, modular platform that allows a single operator to oversee multiple vehicles remotely.
Main competitors
John Deere, Naïo Technologies, FarmWise, Monarch Tractor
Key partnerships
Testing partnership with Aguirre Agricola (Spanish manufacturer of sprayers, spreaders, and seeders), ongoing discussions with NATO departments
Major milestones
Secured €2 million in pre-seed funding (June 2025), Secured €7 million in seed funding led by Extantia (November 2025), Developed the first prototype of the autonomous electric tractor Thor, Officially launched its innovative platform, Testing with Aguirre Agricola, targeting first customer deliveries in 2026, Scaling production to 100 units annually
Growth metrics
Completed first prototype and secured initial funding; active discussions with NATO departments and other strategic partners
Market positioning
Early-stage deeptech startup with disruptive potential in both civilian agriculture and military logistics sectors
Geographic focus
Initially focused on Spain and Europe, with discussions indicating potential international defense application expansion
