“In the old days, you still fixed things,” Grandpa used to say.
“Today they are electrified”,
says Roman Frehner, our Head of Mechanics and Prototype Construction.
Our customer, a genuine Appenzell mountain farmer, recently brought us his beam mower. Nature-loving as he is, he wants to use less fossil energy and use machines for as long as possible. Therefore, we have partially restored and electrified his Rapid mower type S-Special as requested. Now the all-rounder mows, plows, tills and pulls again – and does so 100% electrically.

Electrification in agricultural engineering
The result shows that many agricultural machines are “fit for retrofitting”. Especially when they are built for eternity and for heavy use, like vehicles from Rapid Technic AG. Electrification has not stopped at agriculture for a long time now. Numerous OEMs are working on electric agricultural machinery such as tractors, seeders and implements. We support you in this.
