#Kubota Corporation unveiled a concept model of its
#autonomous fuel cell tractor for the first time at the “Hydrogen Energy Park!!” event, held from 22–25 September at the Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai. This marked the world’s first public display of a working
#tractor powered by a
#hydrogen fuel cell with autonomous driving capabilities. Developed to address both decarbonisation and labour shortages in
#agriculture, the tractor offered high output and long operating time—ideal for large-scale farming. It used compressed hydrogen and featured a solid polymer fuel cell, producing only water as exhaust. With built-in remote control and driverless functions, it aimed to improve operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Kubota planned to carry out field trials in
#Japan to test autonomous driving, assess hydrogen supply systems, and confirm its real-world farming potential. The model reflected a step forward in sustainable, next-generation agriculture.
