PRODUCT APPLICATION
Besides the traditional agricultural applications for a narrow tractor, the B series is also ideal for sectors such as maintenance of green areas and municipalities, applications in greenhouses or closed corporate environments & biological farms. It will reach its maximum potential in agri-photovoltaic applications to be able to certify the farm as a producer of clean energy in a totally zero impact environment and improving the yield and quality of agricultural production.
BENEFITS
MAXIMUM POWER COMBINED WITH MAXIMUM TORQUE
The basic concept of producing energy and power with an electric instead of endothermic motor leads to a revolution in the concept of the tractor with benefits in terms of performance and usage in the field. Basically the power is only generated when (no idle running) and where it is needed (Power Take Off, HYDRAULICS, WHEELS). The power management can be customized by the operator, depending on the use of the tractor (by selecting specific driving modes).
To obtain these performances, the B series uses 5 dedicated electric motors :
1 traction (35kW Peak 50kW)
2 for front and rear PTOs for mounted equipment (14kW + 9.5kW Peak 22kW + 15kW)
1 for the lifter and spool valves (15kW Peak18kW)
1 to the heat pump 4.5kWw
The total power that can be generated is over 80 KW, due to the intelligent management of the system, all agricultural operations can be completed even with half of the power and with maximum efficiency. The "efficiency curve" of the electric motor guarantees a the full torque from 0 rpm and, if necessary, a power BOOST can be used which guarantees extra power and torque (150%) for 20 seconds in case extreme power is needed.
The "tank" is a battery pack of the latest generation -round cells that allow the best energy density in a good weight to energy ratio and with customized shape - positioned at the front and along the chassis of the machine to match tractor dimensions and accessibility. It creates a perfect weight balance ideal to give the best tractor stability in all conditions. This also guarantees a reserve of 50kWh which is equivalent to 4 to 6 hours of autonomy. The charging technology allows an almost complete recharge (80%) in less than 2 hours with a standart power socket. The tractor can be charged either at home or with a public charging station.
The maintenance-free batteries are liquid cooled by a system of radiators which control the correct operating temperatures . The B “e” series is composed of 80% maintenance free components.
MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, MINIMUM MAINTENANCE
The advantages of electric driven equipment are evident, the power supply of the machine needs almost no service maintenance. The front and rear power take-offs (PTO): are managed by 2 dedicated electric motors (14kW + 9.5kW Peak 22kW + 15kW) and allow a variable and progressive rotation speed (from 0 to 540-750-1000 rpm) adaptable to any application and terrain.
The same concept applies to the rear lift (1500 Kg lifting capacity) and to spool valves which are driven by a dedicated electric motor (15kW), it guarantees performance comparable to a Load Sensing system without the complexity of a dedicated hydraulic system and piston pump. The rear (3) and front (2) electronic spool valves can be set from the display on the machine in terms of flow and time of use. The flow capacity is 40 l/min with dedicated oil tank of 17 litres.
The operational efficiency of the tractor is supported by a structural simplicity that implicate simple and minimal maintenance.
The investment in a Full Electric machine is earned back due to a very low total cost of ownership compared to a traditional tractor when calculated 5 years of use and considering cost of ownership like maintenance, energy costs and residual market value of the machine.
MAXIMUM OPERATOR COMFORT
The B series will be available in a cabin version. The monolithic cabin with flat floor is designed to give the operator maximum safety (ROPS and FOPS compliant), comfort, space and visibility, with a modern and minimal look.
A battery driven tractor is extremely quit as the noise traditionally comes from the internal combustion engine. If we add the pressurized monolithic cabin, the operator will be totally protected from noise and dust pollution. The driver will be able to focus his attention on the "agricultural noise": the functioning of the tractor-implements in the field to obtain high quality performance. In addition, the 5th electric motor that controls the heat pump, allows a automatic air conditioning system (adjustable on the display) to keep the temperature and ventilation always at the desired level.
An ideal driving position, with the operator's feet resting on the flat floor, and with optimal visibility thanks to the large glass area make it a perfect driving experience together with the simplicity of the internal cabin trim. All controls are enclosed in the steering wheel and in the right side armrest. Here the driving strategy, linkage and spools, PTO and differentials can be selected trough a 7 inch tablet display, fully digital.
Ergonomic comfort due to a pneumatic suspension seat which, combined with the cabin suspension (rear shock absorbers and front power silent blocks), reduces vibrations and ground bumping by 80% compared to a traditional fixed system.
COMPACT DIMENSIONS and MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY
At first glance, the new B series is the best compromise between efficiency and compactness with a wheelbase of 1728 mm, an overall width of 1322 mm, a weight of 2300 Kg with admissible load over 4300 Kg and an ideal weight balance of 45 % at the front and 55% at the rear. These compact
dimensions make the machine perfect for applications in narrow rows of vineyards and orchards, greenhouses for the cultivation of vegetables as well as for the maintenance of greenery and municipalities (including historic centres with zero emissions!)
