The first production MK-V tractors rolled off the line Thursday at Monarch Tractor’s Livermore, Calif. headquarters and plant less than two years after launching pilot versions and into the hands of Constellation Brands.

“We're very committed to protecting, preserving and giving back to the environment. It's an essential aspect of what we need to do to sustain our business going forward,” Hanson explained as the reasoning for the purchase of the emissions-free tractors.

Indeed Constellation plans to eventually turn over its vast tractor fleet to what Hanson termed “the most sustainable fleet moving forward.” That could mean including tractors from other companies, Hanson said. The MK-V's driver-optional technology makes is possible for several tractors to be operated remotely by a single person and can perform pre-programmed tasks without a driver or an operator using Monarch’s interactive automation.

When it's in “shadow mode” the MK-V can actually follow a worker to the job. It can also serve as an all-terrain vehicle and mobile power source. Indeed, orders are tumbling in from many difference sectors with current production sold out till the middle of next year according to Penmetsa who declined to give specific sales targets, but said he expected sales to “eventually” reach “thousands and tens of thousands.
