The development of the "Dontech" unmanned tractor is approaching a new stage. The machine's control system will be switched from a control panel to automated remote piloting along a given trajectory. This was reported in the press service of the Don State Technical University (DSTU).
It is also planned to expand the range of equipment being developed with a capacity of up to 150 kW based on the electric tractor.
A line of different capacities up to 150 kW is planned, as well as machines of different designs - for viticulture, for working on steep slopes, and special machines for working in swampy areas, in the Arctic zone, as well as explosion-proof machines for demining.
Scientists are also working on improving the hybrid power plant to increase its reliability and traction performance.
The tractor's electric motor has a nominal power of 60 kW (81 hp) and a maximum power of 74.6 kW (101.4 hp). The battery system can store 50 kWh of energy. This allows class 1.4 tractors to effectively perform a variety of tasks even in difficult road conditions.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the most powerful agricultural tractor in Russia, "Rostselmash 3580", was shown on video.
