We've seen a number of electric tractor solutions pitched in recent years, from big names like John Deere and Kubota, as well as startups such as Monarch. Germany's ONOX has joined the farming community with a familiar yet fresh design that boasts a modular battery setup.

Currently at the prototype testing stage of development, the startup launched in 2021 and first showed its full-size prototype at a trade show in Hanover a couple of years later. The team attracted the eye of the iF Design judges in 2024, where the electric tractor concept took gold. The test phase began shortly after, including time in the great outdoors. Approval for road use in Germany followed earlier this year.
