SITIA
Nantes-area engineering SME (test benches since 1986) that developed the Trektor, billed as the first hybrid diesel/electric autonomous agricultural tractor — adjustable track/height for vineyards and market gardening, up to 10 km/h and 24 h unmanned operation; ~€6M invested since 2014, 15 units commercialized in France and Australia with 2020 production sold out. In May 2025 Manitou Group acquired SITIA's robotics team and IP to form Manitou Robotics, but the Trektor product explicitly remains SITIA's property.
