To highlight 25 years in the robotic mower sector, Husqvarna has released a special limited-edition anniversary version of their Automower 315X. Launching in February, it boasts a unique colour.

Sofia Axelsson, vice president, Husqvarna Division consumer unit, said, “We’re very proud to have developed the category to reach this business milestone and to release a limited edition 315X to mark the occasion. With Automower we’ve been determined to continuously innovate our solutions in order to lead the category forward and we’re excited about what the future holds for robotic mowing.”

In 1995, the company took the first step into a new product segment with the launch of the world’s first commercial robotic lawn mower, the Husqvarna Solar mower.

Three years after the launch of the Solar, the company released its first generation of Automower, a robotic mower which returned to a grid-connected charger to charge its battery.

The second generation was introduced in 2003. This platform featured a new design and a number of improvements. Later, other models based on this platform were launched. For example, a mower that could manage lawns up to 6000 m2 and a hybrid mower with both solar cells and battery.

The third generation Automower platform arrived in 2011. The first models focused on small lawns and compact sizes. Later came higher capacity mowers equipped with connectivity. Five years later, 430X and 450X models were introduced, both equipped with the X-line feature package.

The manufacturer’s first robotic mowers for green space professionals, the 520 and 550, were introduced in 2018. Whilst in 2019, the first all-wheel drive robotic mowers were launched, the 435X AWD and 535 AWD, that can handle inclines of up to 70%.

The year of 2019 also saw another milestone as Husqvarna Group reached the two million mark in its manufacturing of robotic mowers.
