The world’s first accessible tractor is set to help farmers with lower limb disabilities work in fields independently.

Produced in Curitiba, Brazil, the TL5 ‘Acessível’, was created in partnership with the inclusive mobility companies, Elevittá, Arteprima and Senai from São Leopoldo (state of Rio Grande do Sul).

新荷兰的顾客费尔南多·达尔莫林（Fernando Dalmolin）在2022年被倒下的树干击中，在医院住了60天。 He had surgery and experienced a serious infection – which led to becoming paraplegic. Determined to continue his work in the field, Fernando was delighted to be involved in the development and release of the TL5 Acessível.

“This is just what people with disabilities like mine need to be able to work independently in the field. I am very happy and excited to be a part of this ground-breaking project,” said Fernando.

最近的一项全国健康调查报告称，巴西有780万人患有下肢残疾。 其中许多人生活在农村社区，可以从这项创新中受益。

“With the launch of this accessible tractor, we want to empower people. It is not just a question of making new technology available in the agricultural machinery market, but also enabling people with disabilities to carry out their occupations with independence,” added Paulo Máximo, Director of Commercial Marketing for New Holland Agriculture Latin America.
