Is now a good time for farmers to invest in electric machinery to reduce operating costs?
Mona Motors will debut the Mona Nova electric telehandler at EuroTier 2026. The new machine is designed to help farms reduce operating costs by utilizing on-site photovoltaic systems.
Why it matters
The vehicle aims to lower operating costs for farms that already have solar energy infrastructure in place. By switching to electric, operators can move away from traditional diesel consumption models.
The Mona Nova features a 2.7 tonne lifting capacity with a 6.3m height, powered by a 46kWh LiFePO4 battery and a 54kW drive system. It includes a 22kW onboard charger and draws 26kW for its working hydraulics system.
The players
Mona Motors
A German-based manufacturer of agricultural machinery that is currently expanding its portfolio of electric-powered vehicles.
The details
The machine integrates a telemetry system and the Mona Connect app to allow for remote monitoring of battery charge levels. Additionally, owners can receive software updates over the air, eliminating the need for routine service center visits for firmware maintenance.
Timeline
EuroTier 2026 will take place throughout the year 2026.
Roadmap
The transition to electric telehandlers marks a strategic shift for equipment manufacturers moving away from traditional internal combustion engines toward electrified agricultural fleets. This positioning allows Mona Motors to compete by offering reduced fuel dependency to operators with existing solar energy setups.
Operators can expect to eliminate the 6,000 liters of annual diesel consumption associated with 750 operating hours on traditional machines. The onboard charger is designed to be compatible with standard wall-box systems for convenient daily charging.
The takeaway
Farm owners looking to optimize energy costs should evaluate whether their existing photovoltaic systems can support the charging requirements of high-torque electric machinery. Moving to electric telehandlers can provide significant long-term savings by replacing expensive fuel consumption with solar power.
