Ideanomics announces that Energica, through its Energica Inside business unit, and Solectrac are starting technical collaboration on a new generation of electric tractors. Energica Inside will support Solectrac with battery pack development, Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) development, and prototype assembly and testing. Collaboration between Solectrac and Energica Inside on battery pack development is expected to boost run-time, meaning customers can do more with their electric tractors per charge.

Thanks to its battery pack technology, Energica motorcycles offer more range than any other electric motorcycle on the market. Energica's VCU is expected to further enhance the overall performance and efficiency of Solectrac's next-generation electric tractors. New Solectrac tractors will also incorporate modular and future-forward styling from Ideanomics Design as well as telematics and performance data from Ideanomics Digital.

Ideanomics expects to introduce a new range of Solectrac tractors in 2023. Energica Inside is focused on harnessing Energica's EV expertise to help other industries electrify– from agriculture to maritime to aviation and beyond. While this collaboration with Solectrac is Energica Inside's first project, there is already a rich funnel of companies interested in partnering with Energica Inside.

This includes early-stage discussions with a two-wheel vehicle and a watercraft OEM.
