At Agritechnica 2025, TAFE (Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited) unveiled its next-generation tractor range, marking a significant stride in the company’s European expansion strategy. The Indian manufacturer, renowned for producing over 200,000 tractors annually and exporting to more than 80 countries, presented a lineup tailored to the sub-100hp category, addressing the evolving needs of European agriculture.
Central to the launch is the EVX75 Hybrid Tractor, a 75hp machine that combines a Stage V diesel engine with an electric powertrain. This hybrid configuration is designed to deliver improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, allowing operators to switch between power sources depending on application requirements. The EVX75 Hybrid Tractor exemplifies TAFE’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, addressing the growing demand for eco-friendly agricultural machinery in Europe.
TAFE also demonstrated Terra 2.0, a digital platform that integrates the company’s Terra Vista vision-based guidance system. Terra 2.0 is designed to provide accessible precision agriculture technology at scale, empowering farmers with tools to enhance productivity and efficiency.
The utility tractor segment is represented by the new 1015 model, a 100hp machine equipped with Power Shuttle transmission and enhanced operator amenities. Positioned for heavy-duty applications, the 1015 delivers 103hp, catering to large-scale farming operations. For specialised agriculture, TAFE introduced the 7515 GE, a 74hp compact tractor optimised for orchard and vineyard work. The fruit and orchard series emphasises manoeuvrability in confined spaces while maintaining adequate power for cultivation tasks. The compact series includes the 6065, a 65hp tractor available in both cabin and open-station configurations, targeting orchards, vineyards, and municipal applications where versatility is essential.
TAFE has established a robust distribution network of 13 partners across 20 European markets, supported by over 200 dealers. The company reports sales exceeding 2,000 tractors in the region over the past two years, indicating a strong market presence and growing acceptance of its products.
“Over the past 65 years, TAFE has built a robust reputation for engineering excellence, reliability and quality to win the trust of customers,” says Dr Lakshmi Venu, vice chairman at TAFE. “With a strong network across Europe and an expanding range of tractors designed specifically for European farmers, we look forward to strong growth in these markets.”
Sandeep Sinha, TAFE CEO, adds, “We are showcasing a dynamic lineup including the EVX75 Hybrid, EV28 Electric Tractor, the new 100hp Utility Tractor, and our 45-75hp Compact and Orchard Series, reflecting TAFE’s continued focus on innovation, sustainability and farmer-centric solutions for Europe.”
The implications of TAFE’s latest offerings are significant for European agriculture. The introduction of hybrid and electric tractors aligns with the region’s push towards sustainability and reduced carbon emissions. The emphasis on precision agriculture through the Terra 2.0 platform underscores TAFE’s commitment to leveraging technology to enhance farming practices. Additionally, the diverse range of tractors caters to various agricultural needs, from large-scale farming to specialised orchard and vineyard work, demonstrating TAFE’s adaptability and responsiveness to market demands.
As TAFE continues to expand its footprint in Europe, its focus on innovation, sustainability, and farmer-centric solutions positions the company as a key player in the region’s agricultural machinery market. The company’s established distribution network and growing sales figures further reinforce its commitment to serving European farmers with high-quality, reliable, and technologically advanced tractors.
