Agricultural Engineering

Smart and Efficient: An Opportunity for Automotive Suppliers?

Agricultural engineering faces intense efficiency and sustainability pressure: higher yields with fewer resources, extreme operating conditions, and stringent uptime requirements. This is where automotive suppliers can excel.

This white paper shows how to monetize your powertrain, E/E, software, and HMI expertise in agricultural machinery — despite lower volumes, with rational buyers and predictable sales cycles.

Key takeaways from the white paper:

  • Entry paths: Powertrain (drop-in fuels/HVO, hybrid, BEV < ~100 kW), thermal and energy management, E/E architecture, ADAS/autonomy, HMI.
  • TCO-driven use cases: Electrification for yard and low-power applications; efficient combustion with drop-in fuels in higher power classes.
  • Digital levers: Sensors, data fusion, and AI for condition monitoring, precision farming, and practical driver-assistance functions.
  • Robust, not over-engineered: Control concepts that work under dust, vibration, and continuous load — including platform approaches to handle variant diversity.
  • Compliance confidence: Functional safety (ISO 25119/26262), EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, and emerging cybersecurity requirements.
  • Execution: A compact 5-step roadmap from pilot to series — including partnering, industrialization, and service/aftermarket setup.
