International Tractors Limited (ITL) has launched the Solis Hybrid 5015 tractor at a price of Rs. 7,21,000 (ex-showroom Pan India). The hybrid powertrain for the tractor has been developed in collaboration with Japanese company, Yanmar Agribusiness Co. Ltd.

The new 50 HP Solis Hybrid 5015 tractor is a customised product that features a traditional diesel engine and a lithium-ion battery. It offers a continuous power supply through a synchro-controller and is maintenance-free. The high voltage tractor battery can be charged with a 16A household socket plug. A full charge is claimed to take in less than 3 hours. An auto-charging cut-off function that is claimed to result in longer battery life, has been provided. It also offers ‘charging on the go’ for continuous battery charging when the throttle is not engaged. Additionally, the Solis Hybrid 5015 gets a 'Smart LED display' that depicts the battery charge level.

The Solis Hybrid 5015 comes with an E-Powerboost function, which can be activated by using a ‘Power booster’ switch on the dashboard. It also gets a four-wheel-drive configuration.

The Solis Yanmar range by ITL is being manufactured at the company’s Hoshiarpur plant. The Solis brand is present in 130 countries and was launched in India in 2019.
