E-Drive+
Intelligent automatic drive system
E-Drive+ is the fully automatic evolution of our proven 4 Speed+ transmission. Designed for maximum efficiency and operator control, E-Drive+ automatically adjusts gear ratios to suit the terrain, ensuring smooth, responsive performance in every working condition.
This intelligent system continuously manages power delivery to each wheel motor, giving outstanding traction, control and climbing ability whether you’re in the field or on the road.
Key Benefits- Automatic version of 4 Speed+ with full electronic control
- Adjusts gear ratios to suit the terrain
- Multiple selectable modes for field, road and terrain types

- Sports Mode for enhanced response
- Dynamic Stability Control for precise traction and balanced drive
- Seamless transition between manual and automatic operation
Smarter power managementE-Drive+ uses advanced control logic to monitor load, gradient and speed in real time, automatically selecting the most efficient gear combination for the terrain. By removing the need for manual gear changes, operators benefit from smoother transitions, reduced fatigue and optimised economy throughout the working day.
Selectable drive modesE-Drive+ offers multiple drive modes, allowing you to fine-tune performance for specific operating environments::
- Cruise mode - Choose from one road-speed setting and two field-speed settings for balanced power and economy in any working situation
- Road mode - Integrated engine management system coordinates gearing and throttle response for smooth, efficient road travel
- Eco Mode (up to 40 kph) - Automatically adjusts gear ratios and throttle input to maintain your chosen speed at the most fuel-efficient engine setting
- Sports Mode - Increases engine revs and holds gears longer for more aggressive, responsive performance on steep gradients
Each mode ensures optimal performance without compromising control or comfort.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)Dynamic Stability Control enhances traction and stability across all four wheel motors. When activated, gear changes can be selected manually or fully automatic mode, adjusting each wheel independently to match surface conditions.
To operate Manual or Automatic drive modes, DSC must be engaged, ensuring the system maintains maximum control and safety at all times.

Power, precision and efficiency in every gear
E-Drive+ combines intelligent automation with Bateman’s engineering expertise to deliver a drive system that adapts instantly to your environment.
From gentle road cruising to demanding field conditions, E-Drive+ provides the perfect balance of power, control and efficiency – so you can focus on the job, not the gears.
