SABI AGRI

What SABI AGRI does

SABI AGRI is a Saint-Beauzire, France-based agricultural engineering company founded in 2017 by Laure and Alexandre Prévault-Osmani that designs, manufactures, and sells electric and robotic agricultural equipment for agroecology. Its product portfolio centers on three core vehicles built on a proprietary mechatronic architecture with integrated in-wheel motors and lithium battery systems: the ALPO vineyard straddle tractor (50 hp, up to 10 hours autonomy, fast charging), the ZILUS all-terrain electric crawler (manual and autonomous variants), and the VOLCAM eco-designed compact electric tractor (under 2 tonnes, three width configurations, Type 2 charging, integrated solar). The SRBC modular robot, sold as a self-assembly kit from €13,500 ex VAT through the Torque.works e-commerce platform, extends the lineup into affordable market gardening robotics. All vehicles offer RTK centimetric GPS guidance, autonomous and remote-control modes, and shared components, enabling the company's "Robotic Accord" collaborative fleet feature that links an ALPO tractor to a ZILUS crawler via a tablet interface.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market: direct field sales through demo requests, an authorized distributor network (Chambonet Fils, Établissements Ouvrard) across France, an e-commerce storefront for SRBC kits and components, and event-led demand generation through trade shows (Vi-TIC, Enovitis in Campo, Vinitech, Sapin Expo). Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time hardware sales of vehicles, SRBC kits, and electrification/component kits, supplemented by training services and spare parts; full vehicle pricing is quote-based and supported by FEADER regional subsidies of up to 40-55%. Customer base is highly distributed across niche agroecological verticals: viticulture (primary), market gardening (primary), arboriculture, Christmas tree cultivation, equestrian centers, and local authorities/green space management.

SABI AGRI has deployed nearly 150 vehicles with hundreds of thousands of cumulative operating hours, employs 11-50 staff, and was selected as an EIC Accelerator laureate in 2025 with its SWARM collaborative robot fleet project. The company raised €8 million in Series A funding in September 2022 from Ui Investissement, Crédit Agricole Centre France, and Cita Investissement, operates the TIARA joint research laboratory with INRAE's TSCF unit, and is expanding from France into Italy as its first international market.
