This Steyr concept tractor is driven by hybrid technology. All electric wheel motors are interlinked. This modular design allows for increased flexibility for operators by pro- viding sufficient power wherever it is needed most in any given situation. Furthermore, this tractor concept can operate with double zero emissions in a pure electric mode. The cabin is a highly capable virtual farm office, with fully integrated precision farming and connectivity solutions. A drone with special sensors is housed in the roof. It can fly in front of the tractor, for example in order to map the con- dition of the soil and crops in the plot. The tricky, wide side mirrors have been replaced by small cameras and always provide the driver with a


perfect view to the rear and to the side of the tractor via a display in the cabin.


A smart projector in the roof projects all required information in the windscreen or in the right window. This without obstructing the view. This so called heads-up information system can even adjust this automatically, depending on which direction the driver is looking at.


with all on-board information from the tractor and the implement and for communication with the outside world. Huber: “For example, the farmer will get up-to-date local weather and be able to take action related to precision management systems.”


The cabin itself is also connected to the tractor in a smarter way. For example, the cab suspen- sion system works together with the front axle suspension, the damping of the hitching sys- tem (front and rear) and the seat suspension. As a result, the driver of the future virtually


The seat can rotate 360 degrees. When the driver enters the cab, the seat automatically turns towards him, so that he can sit com- fortably. Also note the tidy floor, the long steering column and the glass in the roof


‘floats’ across the field. In the meantime he or she can talk undisturbed to an employee who has a problem. Because, partly thanks to fully electric drive systems, cabs are also becoming much quieter. “We think that a whisper-quiet 65 dB (A) is very feasible,” says Huber.
