Abstract EN
Hybrid tree harvester with a 60 kW diesel engine combined with a battery pile could be a “green” forest harvesting and transportation system.
With the new design, the diesel engine maintains a constant engine speed, keeping fuel consumption low while charging the batteries that drive the forwarder.
As an additional energy saving method, the electric motors work as generators to charge the battery pile when the vehicle moves downhill.
The vehicle is equipped with six large wheels providing high clearance over uneven terrain while reducing ground pressure.
Each wheel is driven via a hub gear by its own alternating current motor, and each of the three wheel pairs can be steered independently.
The combination of the diesel engine and six electric motors provides plenty of power for heavy lifting and pulling.
The main component parameters of the drive system are calculated and optimized with a set of dynamics and simulated with AVL Cruise software.
The results provide practical insights for the fuel tree harvester and are helpful to reduce the structure and size of the tree harvester.
Advantage Environment provides information about existing and future products designed to reduce environmental impacts.
