Trektor vs Drever 120
Two autonomous tractor machines, one verified table. Every figure below is sourced and dated; vendor claims are labelled and kept apart from independent results.
Hybrid diesel-electric autonomous straddle tractor from SITIA — a reconfigurable platform for vineyards, market gardens and orchards that carries standard implements for up to 24 h of work.
Best for: French vineyards and vegetable growers wanting one autonomous carrier for tillage, hoeing and spraying with existing implements.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.
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.| Trektor Verified 2026-07-16 | Drever 120 Verified 2026-07-19 | |

| Power source | Hybrid — electric drive recharged by on-board diesel generator | Battery-electric — two swappable batteries (one works the field while the other charges on-farm) |
| Required tractor power | Is the machine (autonomous tool carrier) | 120 hp equivalent, fully electric, driverless/autonomous |
| Dimensions | Configurable track width and clearance per crop (vineyard/vegetable/orchard set-ups) | Not disclosed; manufacturer states Drever is smaller than a comparable conventional tractor |
| Weight | Not disclosed | Not disclosed exact figure; manufacturer states approximately one-third the weight of a comparable conventional tractor |
| Min farm size | Not disclosed | Not disclosed; manufacturer states Drever suits both small and large farms |
| Productivity | Up to 24 h continuous operation per fuel fill | Not independently measured; manufacturer's design target, reported by Landbrugsavisen (2023), is 2-3 Drever units replacing one ~400 hp conventional tractor — a stated goal, not a deployed result |
| Max speed | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| Sensors | GNSS RTK · perception and localisation sensor suite · CE-certified safety system | Custom-developed autonomous steering and GPS-based navigation with smartphone-app monitoring and alerts; detailed sensor suite (e.g. lidar, cameras) not disclosed in accessible sources |

| CE marking | CE-certified safety technology (vendor statement) | Not confirmed — no CE-marking evidence found on the manufacturer's site or in press coverage; Drever 120 is still in prototype/pre-series phase and not yet placed on the general market. |
| Machinery Regulation | Marketed in France as CE-conform; 2023/1230 transition status not published | Would fall under Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 autonomous-machine provisions once placed on the market; not yet confirmed for the pre-series units. |
| CAP subsidy | French growers have used agri-equipment subsidy schemes; no EU-wide CAP listing verified | Not directly tied to CAP eco-schemes; development has been EU co-financed via the EIP-Agri (European Innovation Partnership for Agriculture) programme. |
