BODAWERK Agr-E-Hub renewable energy mechanisation services provider

Many rural smallholder farmers in East Africa struggle to afford mechanisation, leading to labor-intensive farming practices like ploughing and milling still being done by hand. With PREO funding, BODAWERK seeks to address this issue by creating the AgrE-Hub, a service provider offering mechanization powered entirely by renewable energy. The AgrE-Hub will feature E-traks, versatile electric two-wheel tractors, and swappable smart batteries, all supported by a cost-effective DC solar mini-grid. This integrated, scalable model aims to enhance energy use and overcome barriers to traditional mini-grid adoption, making clean energy a viable option for rural farming communities.
