The company’s flagship product, the GOVOR eTractor, uses GPS and IoT connectivity to autonomously tow interchangeable smart trailers for spraying, mowing, cultivating, hauling, andother field operations. Its platform includes a web and mobile portal for remote deployment, monitoring, and control of individual units or fleets. Agovor’s system is designed to reduce manual labor requirements and emissions by replacing traditional driver-operated tractors with battery-powered autonomous machines.
