Drever 120 · photo pending manufacturer approval

Drever 120

Swedish electric autonomous tractor (120 hp) from Traktorarvid AB, a small Uppsala-area startup founded in 2018. Two swappable batteries let one work the field while the other charges on-farm (from solar or grid), and its lighter weight is pitched to cut soil compaction versus a comparable diesel tractor. Still pre-commercial — the manufacturer is building a pre-series run of 5 units through 2025-2026, with full series production not expected until 2027.

At a glance

Best for

Buyers willing to engage as an early pilot/pre-series partner with a small Swedish startup — mainly large-scale cereal and row-crop operations interested in electric, driverless draft power and reduced soil compaction.

Avoid if

You need a tractor available to order and delivered now — Traktorarvid states full series production isn't expected until 2027, the pre-series run is capped at 5 machines, and pricing isn't published.

Not suitable for

Any near-term purchase decision; operations needing an integrated three-point hitch/lift or PTO — the tested prototype worked only via towed/trailer-hitched implements (e.g. a Väderstad Cultus cultivator) with no confirmed lift mechanism; buyers outside Sweden, since no dealer or service network was found.
