“…Data extracted from this paper are presented in Tables 1 and 2. [9]. While presently far from common place in Australia, such electric vehicles and machinery are now coming onto the market and are already an option for vineyard emissions mitigation where suitable charging infrastructure is already in place [10].…”

The Australian grape and wine sector has committed to reducing its carbon footprint by an active mitigation policy, concentrating in the shorter-term future on reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Life cycle analyses for the sector indicate that carbon emission from grape growing and winemaking are small at 17% and 19% respectively; the major contribution of 68% is to do with packaging and transport (Scope 3), primarily involving use of glass bottles. Diesel use in vineyards is 41% of emissions and may be replaced with difficulty by vehicle electrification and/or hydrogen power. Replacement of winery grid-electricity use will account for 81% of emissions, with conversion to solar currently favoured. Opportunities exist to convert vineyard and winery biomass waste streams using pyrolysis to energy and biochar, the latter a form of sequestered carbon. The remaining large carbon emission relates to traditional use of glass packaging, with inherent weight and volume inefficiency increasing transport costs. Alternate packaging with lower carbon footprint and enhanced recyclability offers promise. The retail sector has opportunities to engage in “replace, recycle, or re-use” practices to reduce this footprint. The wine sector shares an ethical responsibility to mitigate climate change, not least because of impacts on grape and wine production.

“…Among the electric agricultural vehicles that cannot be considered as compact, the concept machinery and working prototypes of John Deere (Moline, IL, USA) are surely worth mentioning; indeed, the John Deere SESAM (Sustainable Energy Supply for Agricultural Machinery) and the John Deere GridCON are testament to the interest of the company in researching novel approaches to face similar problems. The SESAM tractor is equipped with a 150-kWh battery pack for 1 h of intense work before recharging [76], while the GridCON is a tethered, fully autonomous and unmanned tractor equipped with a 100-kW electric motor for traction, and 200-kW electric motor directly connected to the PTO in order to transfer mechanical power to implements [77].…”

Electrification of Compact Off-Highway Vehicles—Overview of the Current State of the Art and Trends

Electrified vehicles have undergone great evolution during the last decade because of the increasing attention paid on environmental sustainability, greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Emission regulations are becoming increasingly tight, and governments have been allocating multiple funds to facilitate the spreading of the so-called green mobility. In this context, steering towards electrified solutions not only for passenger vehicles, but also for compact off-highway vehicles extensively employed, for instance, on construction sites located in urban areas, warehouses, and greenhouses, is essential even if seldom considered. Moreover, the electrification of compact off-highway machinery may allow manufacturers to increase their expertise in and lower the costs of these alternative solutions, while gathering useful data to be applied in bigger and more remunerative off-highway vehicles. In fact, while electric automobiles are as of now real alternatives for buyers, off-highway vehicles, regardless of the application, are mostly in the research and experimental phase, with few of them already on the market. This delay, in comparison with the passenger automotive industry, is caused by different factors, mostly related to the different tasks of off-highway vehicles in terms of duty cycles, productivity performance parameters and user acceptability. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the many aspects of the electrification of compact off-highway vehicles, to highlight the key differences between on-highway and off-highway vehicles and to summarize in a single source of information the multiple solutions investigated by researchers and manufacturers.
