Comparative Analysis between Electrified Tractor and Diesel Powered Tractor

บทคัดย่อ

The agriculture sector faces increasing pressure to transition towards sustainable practices amidst concerns over climate change and environmental degradation. Electric tractors are emerging as a promising alternative to traditional diesel-powered tractors, offering potential benefits in terms of reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower operating costs, and enhanced operational efficiency. This study presents a comparative analysis between electrically converted tractors and diesel tractors from a sustainability perspective. Our findings reveal that electric tractors demonstrate significant potential to mitigate environmental impacts associated with agricultural operations, particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Moreover, it has been found that electric tractor offer long-term cost savings through lower fuel and maintenance costs, despite higher initial investment costs. This comparative analysis provides valuable insights for farmers, policymakers, and agricultural stakeholders seeking to make informed decisions regarding tractor technology investments and sustainability strategies. By highlighting the strengths and limitations of electric tractors relative to diesel tractors, this study contributes to the ongoing dialogue on sustainable smart agriculture and the transition towards clean energy technologies in the farming sector.
