Aebi EC170 – specifications

The EC170 is an electrically driven tractor manufactured by Aebi, introduced into the EC series in 2016. This model targets users requiring a compact towing vehicle for use in enclosed spaces or on sensitive surfaces. The purely electric drive eliminates exhaust emissions and noise pollution, enabling operation in stables, greenhouses, or urban areas. The design follows the principle of emission-free mobility and completely dispenses with conventional fuels.

With an output of 18 kW, the EC170 provides sufficient traction for light to medium-duty towing tasks and the operation of smaller attachments. The empty weight of 425 kg ensures low ground pressure, which is particularly advantageous on wet meadows or in indoor areas to prevent soil compaction. The maximum speed of 20 km/h allows for swift travel between different work sites while remaining within the range of safe working speeds. The compact external dimensions, with a length of 1,470 mm, a width of 1,230 mm, and a height of 1,540 mm, ensure high maneuverability and enable passage through narrow aisles as well as parking in limited spaces.

Within the EC series, the EC170 is positioned as a specific variant for applications where low weight and compact dimensions are paramount. The machine is typically suitable for tasks such as towing small trailers, using mowing equipment in orchards, or supplying livestock in stables. Due to its electric drive technology, it is particularly well-suited for environments where noise protection and environmental cleanliness are critical criteria. The combination of moderate power and low weight makes it an appropriate solution for precise work in sensitive environments.
