Ideanomics, a US company focused on electric utility vehicles, announced that a new vehicle assembly line at its Solectrac Windsor facility is fully operational. The plant in Windsor, California, has the capacity to produce 4,100 electric tractors annually.
The electric tractor built at Windsor comes from Solectrac, a manufacturer acquired by Ideanomics. The production capacity of the Windsor plant for the e25 electric tractor model will be tripled with the opening of the new plant. The e25 electric tractor uses a 22 kWh battery, providing between three and six hours of use, depending on the load.
“When Ideanomics acquired Solectrac, we committed to growing Solectrac’s production capacity and product offerings,” said Robin Mackie, Ideanomics Mobility president. “In less than one year, we efficiently increased production capacity by 300% and are now selling Solectrac tractors coast to coast across the United States through our rapidly expanding dealer showroom program. This is a remarkable accomplishment for any player in the EV space.”
In 2023, Ideanomics hopes to begin assembly of the e70N tractor at its Windsor and Denton facilities, as well as introduce new models to the market.
Solectrac tractors assembled at the Windsor facility can feature internet-connected telemetry devices that collect data between tractors and customers to improve productivity, visibility and maintenance.
