In January 2026, students from the CDTM (Center for Digital Technology and Management) in Munich presented their project results at the Design Fair . The results of their joint project with MONA Motors, which started in October 2025, were presented .
The aim of the collaboration was to develop new digital technologies and platforms for the next generation of electric wheel loaders. The students worked intensively on concepts for software and technology development related to MONA machines , with a particular focus on innovative digital functions and future platform solutions for MONA customers.
Practical project offering insights into agriculture
From the outset, the project was strongly practice-oriented. As early as November 2025, the students visited Agritechnica in Hanover together to learn about current trends and technologies in agricultural engineering.
Another important component of the project was several visits to the MONA site in Bad Waldsee . There, the teams were able to work directly on the machines, conduct tests, and gain valuable insights into the development of electric wheel loaders.
The direct exchange with the engineers and developers of MONA Motors helped the students not only to develop their ideas theoretically, but also to test and further develop them in a realistic setting.
New ideas for the future of farm technology
The teams presented their results at the Design Fair. The projects showcased exciting approaches for future digital functions, new customer platforms, and innovative technologies for electric wheel loaders.
For MONA Motors, the collaboration was a valuable opportunity to combine fresh perspectives and new ideas from the digital world with practical experience in machine development.
Proud of a strong team
We are very proud of the students' outstanding work and thank them for their dedicated collaboration over the past months. Projects like this demonstrate the importance of exchange between industry, technology, and young talent to further advance innovation in agricultural engineering.
We look forward to pursuing some of the ideas that have emerged in future developments.
