Quiet, Clean and Stress-Free: the Knegt as a Key Factor in Animal Welfare

Why Noise and Emissions Matter So Much for Horses

The biggest immediate benefit of an electric tractor in the equine sector is the reduction of noise and the absence of exhaust fumes. Horses are naturally skittish and sensitive to loud sounds and sudden stimuli. By switching to a whisper-quiet Knegt e-tractor, the tractor changes from a disturbing factor into a tool that actively supports animal welfare.

Whisper-Quiet: Calm for Horses and Staff

Knegt e-tractors are significantly quieter than diesel models. You notice that immediately in and around the stables. Less noise means less stress for horses during mucking out, feeding or maintaining paddocks and arenas. Staff benefit too: there is less sound pressure, communication is easier and the work environment feels safer and more relaxed.

Zero Emissions in Stables and Arenas

In enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces such as livery yards, indoor arenas and stables, a diesel tractor inevitably produces exhaust fumes. The electric Knegt works 100% emission-free. That means no nitrogen oxides, CO₂ or particulates in the air — crucial for the health of horses and staff. Cleaner air quality reduces health risks and contributes to a pleasant, professional appearance of the yard.

Green Image and Future-Proof Operations

More and more clients, livery owners and visitors value sustainability. By choosing an emission-free, quiet tractor, you demonstrate that animal welfare and environmental awareness are central to your business. This strengthens the green image of your stable or riding school and makes your yard more attractive to horse owners who care about welfare and the environment.

Experience the Difference Yourself

Would you like to experience for yourself what a whisper-quiet, emission-free Knegt e-tractor does for the calm in your stables and on the yard? Request a no-obligation demonstration or contact us for a customised TCO analysis. The future of emission-free work in the equine sector starts now.
