TRAXX autonomous straddle

Single-row autonomous diesel straddle tractor for narrow vineyards from Exxact Robotics, the R&D arm of Exel Industries (commercialised via Tecnoma) — 56 hp low-RPM diesel, 30–35 h per 110 L tank, hydraulic Poclain 4WD/4WS transmission with crab mode, slopes to 35–38%. In series production and delivered to customers since 2023; a hydrogen fuel-cell variant (TRAXX Concept H2, 35 kW) has been unveiled as a concept.

Available in: France

At a glance

Best for

Narrow French vineyards wanting a driverless workhorse for soil work and spraying with long diesel endurance (30–35 h) and low soil compaction (~1.8 t).

Avoid if

You want zero-exhaust electric operation — TRAXX is diesel today (H2 is still a concept) — or you farm outside France, where sales and Tecnoma service are concentrated.

Not suitable for

Row crops, cereals, orchards, barns; wide vineyards beyond the single-row straddle geometry.
