Voltrac SL, founded in Valencia in 2024, develops autonomous electric unmanned ground vehicles for agriculture and frontline logistics. The company's engineering approach combines aerospace, robotics, and electric vehicle systems expertise to address labor constraints in farming and critical supply chain requirements in defense operations. The team operates in a hands-on engineering environment where systems work is driven by deployment realities in both agricultural fields and contested logistics scenarios.
The company's first platform, THOR, is a 3.5-tonne autonomous electric UGV engineered for continuous operation in harsh field conditions. The vehicle ships directly to operational sites and is designed to run around the clock, handling both agricultural tasks and frontline logistics missions. Development moved from initial concept to launch on an accelerated timeline, reflecting the company's focus on delivering functional systems rather than extended R&D cycles.
Voltrac's technical scope spans the full autonomy stack - perception, planning, and control - integrated with electric powertrain systems capable of sustained field use. The engineering challenges include navigation in unstructured outdoor environments, power management for extended autonomous operation, and platform robustness under agricultural and tactical logistics conditions. The work addresses two distinct but technically overlapping problem domains: freeing agricultural operators from repetitive physical labor and enabling resilient supply operations in environments where conventional crewed vehicles face constraints.
Led by CEO Tom Hubregtsen, the company positions its technology as relevant to European food security and defense infrastructure. The Valencia-based team is actively building out its engineering capacity, looking for robotics engineers to work on systems that deploy in real operational contexts where performance, reliability, and autonomy under variable conditions are primary engineering constraints.
