Perspectives of using mobile energy vehicle of traction class 1.4; 2 in agrocultural production

Abstract

Purpose. Substantiation of perspective directions of use of trucks as a mobile energy vehicle of traction class 1.4; 2 for formation on its basis of mobile agricultural units for performance of technological operations in farms with the area of 20–500 hectares. Methods. They were based on the application of analytical methods and mathematical modeling of the process of agricultural machinery and the basics of economic analysis. Numerical simulation was performed using a PC. Results. The list of technological operations, on which a cargo car can be used as an energy vehicle, was substantiated. Economic efficiency of using the mobile energy means of the traction class 1.4; 2 is established on the example of a technological operation for plant protection products. Conclusions. The use of trucks as a mobile power vehicle of traction class 1.4; 2 for the formation of a mobile agricultural unit on its basis for agricultural operations will reduce the cost of crop production by increasing annual load, increasing working and transport speeds, using direct flow technologies. It will also reduce the range of technical means for performing technological operations and increase the efficiency of their use. Keywords: truck, mobile agricultural unit, mobile power vehicle, traction class 1.4; 2, technological operations, mobile energy vehicle.
