Terafield Unveils Concept for Fully Electric Combine Harvester

French company Terafield introduced a 340 HP fully electric combine harvester concept based on an integrated electric platform. The project aims to reduce emissions and operating costs compared to conventional harvesting machines.

Terafield presented the new concept as part of its strategy to develop next-generation agricultural equipment powered entirely by electricity.

Key points

  • Fully electric combine harvester concept
  • Power output: 340 HP
  • Integrated electric platform for propulsion and harvesting systems
  • Charging capacity of up to 1 MW
  • MCS ultra-fast charging compatibility
  • Prepared for future autonomous driving integration
  • Can operate as a stationary battery outside harvest season

Integrated electric architecture

According to the company, the combine is based on an electric platform that integrates all subsystems required to power the machine and operate the harvesting functions.

Terafield says the software-defined electronic architecture enables optimized machine control, advanced connectivity, and future autonomous driving capabilities.

The company also highlights lower noise levels, minimal maintenance requirements, a lower center of gravity, and improved drivetrain efficiency compared to conventional combines.

High-capacity charging system

Terafield emphasized that charging performance is critical to maintaining harvesting productivity during peak field operations.

The combine can receive up to 1 MW of charging power through an MCS (Megawatt Charging System) interface, an ultra-fast charging standard developed for heavy-duty electric vehicles.

Outside the harvesting season, the machine is designed to function as a stationary energy storage unit.

The project reflects the broader push toward electrification in the agricultural machinery industry, particularly in high-power equipment segments traditionally dominated by diesel-powered machines.
