Cover Story: Agricultural vehicles, such as tractors, combines, and harvesters, are complex machines with many systems that have to be interconnected for efficient functionality; thus, the need for a central control unit arises. This article aims to present an electronic control unit that interconnects the main systems of a full-electric tractor. The article describes the hardware of the electronic control unit and the software necessary to implement the functions required by the electric tractor. This article shows how, by improving the software, the tractor’s performance can be improved, with parameters such as the response time of the various equipment being a useful indicator of such an improvement. Furthermore, implementing trip memory and an easy-to-use human–machine interface allows for easy diagnostic of the electric tractor. View this paper
