Macchine Agricole | The evolution of agriculture is electric

Sustainability, autonomy and customisation possibilities are the 3 key words in the electric conversion of the industrial world, where the agricultural market is emerging with a rapid change of vision.

The percentage of electric industrial machines is set to increase rapidly and unprecedentedly, driven by the launch of Industry 4.0 programmes and European industrial policies, with advantages ranging from high performance, zero maintenance requirements, quieter operation and elimination of CO2, particulate and toxic gas emissions, to respect for the health of workers and farm animals.

The applications in the agricultural sector that benefit from these advantages through Flash Battery lithium batteries are numerous: from full electric trench tractors used in vineyards for tilling the soil in the wine-growing sector, to feed mixers, mixer wagons for livestock feed in animal husbandry, to wood chippers used in urban landscaping, to telescopic handlers for agricultural and industrial use, which have paved the way for high-voltage applications with high capacities, between 400 and 600 V voltage with very high mechanical and electronic customisation to meet the handling and lifting tasks typical of these vehicles.

“One of our strengths,‘ explains Marco Righi, CEO & Founder of Flash Battery, ‘is the high degree of customisation. All our batteries are tailor-made according to the needs of each individual application. When interfacing with our customers, we always start by analysing every detail of the vehicle, from its dimensions to its consumption, mode of use and so on. All these aspects are important and can make the difference in creating the most appropriate lithium-ion battery for a given vehicle.
