The tractor has been developed through close co-operation between SHOPF Maschinenbau GmbH, Stuttgart and HAGEN Batterie AG. The former company was responsible for the design and construction of the vehicle, the latter company developed the battery and electrical equipment. The author discusses the drive system and describes the battery which is of the copper stretch metal type.
