John Deere is still working on developing an electric tractor. The successor, the Sesam 2, has a battery module with a capacity of 1,000 kWh of energy storage. 500 kW (680 hp) of power is available for the electric powertrain. Depending on the electric attachments or electric machines, up to a maximum of 1,000 kW is available to drive them. The machine is basically cabless, except when its driven on the road. Then a cab can be hung in the front linkage and you can move the robot to the land manually. The cab makes it possible to drive the tractor both autonomously and manually, with or without a cab. Communication between the cabin and the tractor takes place via a wireless connection. The cab can be detached in the field to be used as an office and to keep an eye on the robot. In addition, the prototype can work in swarms, which allows it to work together with several robots at the same time. In such a case, it may then be desirable to be able to monitor the work from a central cabin.
