Traditional African living conditions, climate change and population growth - an international team of Volkswagen experts has taken all these factors into account to develop an e-tractor study and an associated ecosystem. The aim is to enable new and sustainable forms of micro-agriculture and mobility in rural Africa. "The concept of the e-tractor could change the lives of many people in rural regions of Africa from the ground up," says Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen South Africa.



The project was developed in cooperation between Volkswagen Group Innovation and Volkswagen Group South Africa. The concept study celebrates its premiere as part of the exhibition Countryside, The Future, shown by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, which opens on February 20, 2020. This makes Volkswagen the only cooperation partner to contribute an exhibit to the Display.
