LS Mtron is selling the LS autonomous work tractor, the first commercialized product in Korea, to public institutions, the NongHyup, and farmers. It is an autonomous work 'Level 3' product capable of straight driving, turning, and implement control. It has applied an obstacle detection function essential for realizing fully unmanned 'Level 4' operation.

This product reduces working time by 25% and increases yield by 7% compared to existing products based on ridge work in a 900-pyeong (approximately 2,975㎡) onion field. LS Mtron is conducting a purchase benefit event until May 31, where the first 50 customers who sign contracts for the LS autonomous work tractor at dealerships nationwide will receive home appliances.
