Introducing Our Groundbreaking Project
The Mission Behind Our Electric Tractor
At Progressus-Innovations, we are dedicated to developing an electrically powered tractor that aims to revolutionize the agricultural industry. Our mission is to facilitate the transition from fossil fuels to electricity, thereby contributing to a sustainable future.
Our electric tractor is not only an eco-friendly alternative but also a catalyst for regional employment. By collaborating with local companies and using primarily European parts, we ensure that our project supports local economies and promotes job creation.
We envision a future where our electric tractor is produced serially in the Netherlands, serving farmers, municipalities, and contractors who are committed to protecting our planet for future generations. Join us in making this vision a reality.
Our Journey
Explore the milestones that have shaped Progressus-Innovations and our quest to develop an electric tractor.
2021
Founding of Progressus-Innovations
On April 20, 2021, Gert Abbes, Alex Doornbosch, and Hendrik Nieboer founded Progressus-Innovations with a shared vision of creating an electric tractor to promote sustainability.
2022
Initial Prototyping
Our team began the initial prototyping phase, focusing on integrating European parts and collaborating with local companies to build the first version of our electric tractor.
2023
Field Testing
We conducted some field tests to ensure the reliability and efficiency of our electric tractor, gathering valuable data to refine our design.
Visit Berufsbildende Schulen Papenburg
On Wednesday afternoon, December 6, we were guests at the BerufsBildende Schulen in Papenburg. We were welcomed here with an extensive lunch and were allowed to show our project. It was one of the projects that they believed would be suitable for deployment in Africa. Diesel is just as expensive there as it is here, but incomes are much lower. There is plenty of (solar) energy! The school could help us with further development. We are still waiting for the subsidy. Our European tractor was about to find its first deployment in Africa. Things can get weird. Here it can still be seen without sheet metal with a cover against the rain. We returned home satisfied. Apparently we are on the right track.
2024
Visit to Makeport Mercury
On Monday February 1, our creation was on display outside at Makeport Mercurius. Minister Hugo de Jonge of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and deputy Tjeerd van Dekken visited here that day for the ‘Master Plan Regional Centers Groningen’. Our tractor was there to make it clear what is possible in the manufacturing industry. If only we dare! There was a lot of interest.
