BKT meets Pretoria Energy

Located in Chittering, Cambridgeshire, Pretoria Energy is Europe's largest vertically integrated biogas producer. The company manages around 40,000 acres of maize, sugar beet, grass and potato crops, which are used to generate renewable energy through anaerobic digestion. Seeding, cultivation, rolling and power harrowing are carried out at a high operational intensity, with machinery operating for up to 24 hours a day during peak periods. Most tractors are fitted with BKT AGRIMAX V-FLECTO and AGRIMAX FORCE tyres, while trailers are equipped with RIDEMAX FL 693 M tyres. Designed for demanding agricultural applications, these tyre solutions deliver excellent traction, reliability and productivity in challenging conditions. Through its circular economy model, Pretoria Energy contributes to the development of a more sustainable, low-emission energy system.
