The project spent 2025 with both high expectations and serious debates. While the performance of the prototypes in the project, carried out in partnership by Önder Yol and Ziraat Venture Capital, excited farmers, the latest data released to the public regarding the mass production schedule and financial statements caused confusion.
At Yuzde100yerli.com, we have examined the technical specifications of the project, launched with the promise 90% of fuel efficiency, as well as the audit reports and legal processes that will mark the year 2025.
Revolutionary Features on Paper
The technical aspect of the project represents a true revolution for Turkish agriculture. According to tests conducted and data shared by the company, the technical advantages promised by the ZY Electric Tractor are as follows:
- Fuel Savings: It is aimed to offer a 90% fuel cost advantage compared to traditional diesel tractors. This is a feature that could eliminate the issue of diesel, which is the biggest expense item for farmers.
- Power and Torque: The smaller version is planned to produce 105 horsepower (HP) and approximately 494 Nm of torque. The electric motor's instantaneous torque delivery means high pulling power in the field.
- Charging Time: It is stated that the tractor can be fast-charged in as little as 45 minutes and that its battery can operate for long periods under demanding field conditions.
- Quiet Operation: Operating without noise and exhaust fumes is a major advantage for both operator health and the environment.
The Court of Auditors Report and Production Debates That Shaped the Year 2025
The industrialization process of the project, which has high technical potential, was fraught with difficulties in 2025. Audit reports and allegations that surfaced in the press at the beginning of the year revealed that the project experienced serious setbacks during the mass production phase.
Striking Details from the Court of Auditors' Reports:
According to reports shared with the public in early 2025, despite Ziraat Venture Capital Investment Trust (Ziraat GSYO) providing substantial financing to the project (funds claimed to be around 246 million TL), it was stated that the targeted production numbers could not be achieved. The reports indicated that only 3 prototypes of the tractors, which were intended to be produced in hundreds, could be manufactured.
Legal Processes:
By mid-year (August 2025), internal administrative processes came to the forefront. The cancellation of the company's general assembly meetings and lawsuits related to managerial disputes increased the uncertainties in the project's corporate structure.
Projenin Geleceği: Hazırlanıyor mu, bekliyor mu?
Currently, the official website and social media channels of ZY Electric Tractor are eerily silent, replacing the intense promotional frenzy of 2021-2022.
Despite this, the project has not been completely abandoned. The need for an electric transformation in the agricultural sector and the public support behind the project (Ziraat GSYO) prevent hopes from being completely dashed. However, for mass production to begin, the financial statements need to be improved, managerial crises need to be overcome, and the production line needs to be made operational.
Yuzde100yerli.com Review
The ZY Electric Tractor is a visionary project that proved what Turkish engineering can achieve during its idea and prototype phase. However, a sustainable production plan is essential for an R&D success to transform into commercial success. Although 2025 was a challenging year for the project, at a time when diesel prices are rising, this project is not a luxury but a necessity for the Turkish farmer. Our expectation is that administrative issues will be resolved and the tractors will be seen not at fairgrounds but in the fields.
