Bullwork Mobility on the opening day of EXCON 2025 revealed its latest innovation—the BEAST 9696 E, which the company claims to be India’s most powerful and technologically advanced electric tractor built from the ground up. The unveiling highlights the growing focus on electrification in agriculture, warehousing and construction sectors amid broader EV adoption trends.
The BEAST 9696 E is engineered with a high-output electric drivetrain, featuring a 96 kW dual-motor system and a substantial 96 kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack. The design emphasises robust performance and long operating hours, positioning the tractor as a credible alternative to traditional diesel units in heavy-duty agricultural applications.
According to Bullwork Mobility, the tractor can be fully charged from 0 to 100 per cent in approximately two hours, leveraging fast-charging technology. Its electric architecture aims to deliver significantly lower operating costs by eliminating diesel consumption and reducing maintenance, potentially translating into substantial annual savings for farmers and operators.
The company also highlighted advanced features such as drive-by-wire controls, multiple smart work modes and precision traction systems to enhance usability across varied field tasks. These technologies are designed to improve productivity, ease of operation and overall efficiency compared with conventional agricultural machinery.
Bullwork Mobility executives described the BEAST’s development as the result of several years of research and engineering, reflecting the firm’s ambition to lead the electric farm equipment segment in India. They stated that the product underscores the potential of domestic EV innovation to meet rigorous performance standards in demanding environments.
The launch of the BEAST 9696 E comes at a time when electric tractors are still emerging in the Indian market, with overall adoption gradual due to cost and infrastructure challenges. However, industry observers believe that high-performance electric solutions like the BEAST could support broader electrification goals and offer sustainable alternatives for future agricultural mechanisation.
