Robotic mower production heights

In preparation for the summer season, Husqvarna Group has produced its 500,000th
robotic mower at its plant in the United Kingdom. The robotic mower also
celebrates 20 years of excellence.
In 1995, Husqvarna Group pioneered the lawn mowing by introducing the Solar
Mower, the world’s first-ever solar-powered robotic mower. Today, the Group
sells robotic mowers under the brands Husqvarna, Gardena and Flymo.

With a mindset of continually making improvements, the mowers have become more
robust and easier to install and use. A robotic mower is energy efficient and
has almost no emissions during use. The electricity consumption for maintaining
a 1,000m² lawn has been reduced by approximately 70 percent between the 2nd and
the 3rd generations of robotic mowers. During the years, much effort has also
been invested to reduce the product’s noise level to a minimum.

Today, the Husqvarna Automower® is one of the market leaders in robotic mowers.
“People across the world are replacing their conventional lawn mowers for
robotic mowers at an increasing speed, freeing homeowners from the chore of
mowing, and giving them an always great looking lawn,” says Olle Markusson,
Director of Product Management at Husqvarna Group.

The third generation of Husqvarna Automower® can manage slopes of up to 45%, and
is equipped with a variety of features, such as a GPS navigation which helps the
robotic mower keep track of which part of the garden should be cut, a weather
timer making the mower automatically adapt its daily cutting routine to the
actual growth rate of the lawn.
