Toyota Industries Corporation supplied the tractor.
As automakers continue to make bold promises and proclamations about the future of the industry, there is a greater chance that your next car will be an electric vehicle. Although EVs are rapidly becoming mainstream, it will still take many years before they replace gasoline-powered cars on the roads. However, electrification will change other industries like aviation until then. Thanks to new vehicles such as the Toyota tow tractor, it’s possible to transform other industries . Toyota Industries Corporation is the source of the all-electric towing tractor (3TE25), not Toyota Motor. Both fall under the umbrella of Toyota Group. Toyota Industries produces a variety of products, including forklifts and looms, lift trucks as well as automotive components. Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism has identified 21 domestic airports which will reduce CO 2 emissions. Toyota’s new tractor towing will help in this effort.
According to the company, the new tractor will be comparable to the gasoline-engine model in terms of towing power, driving speed and climbing ability. With a 600-amp-hour high-capacity battery, the tug can reach speeds of 25 km/h (15 miles per hour). Toyota made sure that the tractor’s turning circle and field of vision were the same for the new model. The press release does not mention the vehicle’s range. This would depend on how much weight it tows. The EV comes standard with an LED headlight, a multi-function LCD display and a maximum speed setting. An optional safety belt interlock is available (without it the vehicle will have limited operations), a better-positioned charge port, a rear-inching device to hitch a trailer and a rear LED light. Today, October 25, the new all-electric tractor was available for purchase at 40 Toyota L&F dealerships in Japan. It’s unlikely that it will be the only new electrified vehicle to enter the aviation industry over the next few years
