Compact Electric Tractor CSIR PRIMA ET-11

Type:  Equipment
IPR Status:  Patent
Secured In:  India
Application/uses: 

Tractors have been one of the most important tools associated with modern agriculture. Considering the need to further reduces the greenhouse gas emissions and the eventual scarce availability of fossil fuels shortly, electric tractors have been proposed as a possible solution in the context of more sustainable farming. However, all commercial equipment consists of high- power machines, which are only feasible to large area Farming.

However, it has been found that the Indian electric tractor many manufacturing companies were adopted the imported technologies in their product. As the working condition in India is quit challenging compare to other developed country, hence there is a need of development based on the Indian condition. CSIR CMERI has developed an Indigenous Compact Electric tractor (CSIR PRIMA ET11) for small marginal farmer.

A.1.Silent Features of CSIR CMERI Developed System:

  1. Robust and Semi Synchro-type mechanical drivetrain.
  2. Modular Mainframe for maintainability and Serviceability.
  3. Improved and efficient hydraulic System.
  4. Improvised and optimized drivetrain for smooth transition of gears.
  5. Optimized weight-to-power ratio.
  6. Women-Friendly Ergonomics.
  7. Intelligently controlled prime movers.
  8. Customized instrument cluster Suited for e-tractor application.
  9. Vehicle Health Monitoring Features.
  10. Electric Vehicle to Load feature (V2L concept).
  11. Indigenous and Cost Effective.
Environmental Consideration: 

The proposed solution will contribute significantly to country’s economic growth by providing an alternative to conventional diesel engine operated systems. This Technology will help MSME to get venture in the e- tractor segment.

Livelihood diversification: off-farm earning potential through providing hire services along with farm mechanization. This will ultimately improve the quality of life. In addition, pollution and noise level in the village will reduce which help to improve in quality of life.

The major aspect of the project is utilization of renewable energy sources which include energy from solar. This project has no environmental impact as:

  • Green and cleaner environment through usage of renewable energy;
  • Utilization of solar for energy generation.
Status of Commercialization:  Rs.15.0 Lakh excl.GST for Micro & Small Enterprise of MSME & Rs.21 Lakh excl.GST for Medium category of MSME and Large Co. and Royalty Extra.
