From the Alps to Amsterdam How a group of connoisseurs turned an everyday problem into a business

The article discusses the development of an electric single-axis mower by the Swiss engineering firm Novaziun, based in Rueun. The innovation addresses the limitations of traditional gasoline-powered mowers used on steep slopes and trails, which suffer from noise, emissions, and limited battery life. The team initially attempted to retrofit existing machines but faced challenges due to weight and design constraints. They then redesigned the machine from scratch, creating the Monotrac model with significantly improved battery capacity and performance. This new electric mower is now being exported internationally, including to Amsterdam, marking a significant advancement in sustainable agricultural equipment.
