Cygnus Motors’ electric tractor completed a record‑setting journey from Rajkot in Gujarat to the high‑altitude pass of Umling La in Ladakh, becoming the first electric tractor to cover the distance.
Cygnus Motors has announced that its electric tractor has set a new world record by travelling from Rajkot in Gujarat to the high‑altitude pass of Umling La in Ladakh. The journey, which covered the entire stretch between the two locations, marked the first time an electric tractor has completed such a distance.
The route links the western part of India with the northern frontier, passing through varied terrain and elevations. By successfully navigating this challenging path, the tractor demonstrated the capability of electric farm machinery to operate over long distances and across diverse landscapes.
Industry observers note that the achievement could accelerate the adoption of electric tractors in Indian agriculture, offering a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to conventional diesel-powered machines.
