Overview
At Voltrac, we are on a mission to strengthen Europe’s food security and defence with an autonomous electric tractor to free farmers from drudgery and keep soldiers out of harm’s way. The 3.5 tonnes platform is currently being tested at vineyards, olive orchards and citrus groves across Spain. We are about to scale manufacturing to 100 units yearly and are looking to match the sales accordingly.
About Voltrac
Voltrac was founded by Francisco Infante Aguirre and Thomas Hubregtsen in 2024. Francisco previously built hydrogen-powered supersonic planes at Destinus and heavy-lifting eVTOLs at Volocopter, and comes from a family that builds and sells tractor implements in over 25 countries. Thomas previously accelerated Machine Learning using GPUs, TPUs and Quantum Computers at Google X, IBM and BMW, and started San Francisco-based Extropic. He also had his first job at a farm. Together, they aim to shake up the market and compete with incumbents and startups alike. They are supported by investors such as Extantia, Foodlabs, Antler, Push, and Prototype, who together committed a total of 9M in funding. The team operates from a 1200 m² facility in Valencia, with 300 m² of natural-light office and a 900 m² workshop. Valencia is consistently voted as one of Europe’s top places to live for its low cost of living, climate, and vibrant historic centre. The team is young, diverse, and collaborative, with the shared aim to shape Europe’s agriculture and defense with machines that do real work.
