Here are the winners chosen for 2026:
2026 Boson by Boson Motors
San Jose, California
bosonmotors.com
Boson is an electric, modular work platform built for growers who need capability without complexity. Boson delivers the strength of a one-ton truck with the intelligence and flexibility of modern electric power. At its core is a rugged, proven electric base that hauls, tows, and scouts right out of the box. Growers can add exactly what they need: attachments for spraying, material movement, or autonomy. Every module bolts on in minutes, transforming the same base into a new tool without downtime or special equipment.
Two high-torque electric motors put a ton of force to the ground, handling steep terrain and heavy loads while remaining quiet, clean, and nearly maintenance-free. Independent suspension and a balanced design ensure stability and a smooth ride. Optional onboard power allows tools or sensors to run directly from the vehicle, eliminating the need for generators or extra fuel. Boson is a grower-first design: tough enough to replace multiple machines, smart enough to evolve.
