Developing alternative technologies for the use of fossil fuels is necessary and inevitable. To meet this
need, the SAPHT project developed an energy-efficient electric hybrid tractor for agricultural light
operations. The energy source for SAPHT was in part solar and the rest was supplied from a grid. This
research compared simulated and experimental field results for SAPHT. The results show that SAPHT is
capable of substituting for I category tractors. Using the designated parameters, SAPHT can operate
standard implements for 2-4 h daily; however, improved use of batteries would make it possible to increase
the daily range more than three fold.
