Japan’s Kubota unveiled the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell tractor with a self-driving function at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, on Monday. 

The 100-horsepower tractor runs on a fuel cell stack, providing farmers nearly half a day operation per refueling, a faster turnaround between refueling, higher power output, and zero CO2 emissions. 


The model has no driver’s seat but can be controlled remotely. It also has  AI-powered cameras that can detect people or obstacles in the field and stop automatically. Japan’s farming sector faces worker shortages and an aging population.
