Eco Factor: Lawnmower with a hybrid engine.

Taming the jungles in your backyard definitely requires some patience, especially if you’re doing that during summers. Those who don’t want to leave the comfort of their air-conditioned living rooms for the sake of a clean garden must try the Southern RobotX. Equipped with tank-like treads, the lean machine can tackle just about any terrain and with the effective cutting units, the system promises you clean lawn in just minutes.


The unit is operated by a remote control, which features an easy-to-use joystick. The feature that attracts us most is its self-charging system that approximately consumes 40% less fuel than a conventional ride-on lawnmower. The system is powered by an electric motor, the batteries of which are recharged by the gas motor which is used to power the cutting unit, so you don’t always have to worry about a dead battery leaving the mowing job half done.
