At PeK Automotive, we specialize in developing a wide range of low-voltage autonomous electric vehicles, along with advanced technologies and applications for use in agriculture, rescue operations, and defense. Our purely electric and hybrid autonomous vehicles are designed to save time and human resources while significantly reducing mission readiness time. This concept is exemplified by our flagship products, the Slopehelper and Agilehelper autonomous electric agricultural systems. Featuring zero emissions, highly intelligent radar systems, and no need for GNSS navigation, our agrosystems offer an innovative and unique approach to creating truly autonomous solutions.
