The Battery Myth Debunked: Uninterrupted Work in Greenhouses and Fields with Knegt E-Tractors

Introduction: The Fear of Downtime in a Precision-Driven Process

In intensive cultivation and growing operations, planning and precision are everything. The biggest concern when switching to electric tractors is: "Will my tractor stop when I’m spraying in the middle of the rows, or when the harvest is under pressure?" Downtime is simply not an option.

The reality of modern Knegt E-tractors is very different. This article shows how Knegt supports the unique work cycles of growers, enabling full-day, emission-free and stress-free operation.

Battery Runtime in Cultivation: The Smart Advantage

In cultivation and growing environments, tasks are often highly varied, including transport, hoeing, spraying and internal logistics.

1. No Idle Losses: Unlike diesel machines—which continue to burn fuel while parked or during short stops—the Knegt E-tractor consumes no energy when stationary. This results in a significant gain in effective operating time throughout the workday.

2. Long Runtime for Specific Tasks: Activities such as hoeing, transport and pulling light implements require relatively little power. Knegt’s batteries are optimized for these typical cultivation tasks, delivering runtimes that exceed a standard working day.

3. Real-World Range in Greenhouses: Knegt batteries have been tested under the toughest conditions, such as pulling sprayer wagons for hours on unpaved surfaces. We guarantee a realistic, predictable operating time that gives you the flexibility needed to meet your daily planning.

Charging During Breaks: Seamless Integration into Your Operations

The Knegt E-tractor is designed to integrate naturally into the daily break structure of your workforce:

• Break Charging: A short charging session during lunch or at the start or end of a shift is often sufficient to maintain an optimal battery level.

• Optional Battery Swap (on selected models): For growers operating 24/7 or in multiple shifts, some Knegt models offer a quick-swap battery system. This ensures uninterrupted operation at all times.
