YV01- Autonomous chaser

Innovation in the Service of Wine-Making Versatility

A blend of expertise andtechnological innovation, the YV01 was designed to meet the demands of the vineyard. A true everyday ally, it supports winegrowers in a wide variety of tasks, offering a high level of performance and safety.

Originally designed for spraying operations thanks to its air-assisted spray boom, the YV01 has now been upgraded with a new hydraulic feature. This technological advancement enhances its versatility and broadens its range of applications: from spraying to soil preparation, the tracked machine can now be equipped with a lifting arm compatible with various implements. The result: a single robot capable of handling all your job sites.

Versatility, user safety, andcontinuous innovation are at the core of Yanmar Vineyard Solutions’ DNA, enabling us to provide you with long-term support for your daily vineyard tasks.

Less soil compaction

Soil compaction can be a major challenge for winegrowers using vineyard machinery. Not anymore! By applying Yanmar’s advanced technology, the YV01 offers extreme lightness compared to other vineyard robots. Compaction is reduced to an absolute minimum.

Can handle slopes of 61%

Thanks to its design and reliable components, the robot can climb and descend slopes of 45% and compensate for cross-slopes of 35%, a major advantage for winegrowers who own plots that are difficult to cultivate. It is perfect for narrow, steep vineyards.

Total autonomy thanks to GPS

Incorporating the latest centimetric GPS-RTK navigation technology, the robot operates autonomously. What’s more, it’s powered by a fuel-efficient petrol engine that can last for several hours without interruption. All you need is a supervisor to observe operations in progress.

Japanese manufacturing for optimum quality

Yanmar’s YV01 robot was designed at the Maibara R&D center in Japan, and all components are sourced from local suppliers via a reliable supply chain. Final production is handled in-house.

Rigorous quality control ensures that users can buy with confidence. This promise is underpinned by the extensive geographical coverage of the European parts distribution center in the Netherlands, which ensures that delivery times are kept to a minimum.
