Eco Factor: Zero-emission lawnmower powered by electricity.
We’ve seen some lawnmowers that are powered by electricity in the past, but most of them use conventional gas engines for the cutting blades, which just reduces their emissions and doesn’t eliminate them completely. Robot lawnmower maker Husqvarna has some serious plans to zero the emissions from lawnmowers in a concept they call the Husqvarna Panthera Leo.
Powered by a pack of five electric motors, which run on a rechargeable lithium phosphate battery, the lawnmower has three separate cutters that are good for a cut of between 33 inches and 47 inches wide. Being powered by electricity, the lawnmower promises a silent cut as well. The lawnmower is equipped with an LCD screen and a system that automatically determines the optimum cutting height and running speed. The inventor believes that this intelligent machine could be on your lawn in just five years.
