Unlocking Fuel Efficiency Through Smart Farming Technology
Valtra, the Nordic tractor brand, continues to make waves with its groundbreaking solutions in the realm of smart farming technology. The latest addition to their impressive lineup is the Valtra Coach App, a game-changing innovation designed to revolutionise tractor efficiency and sustainability.
Valtra’s Commitment to Smart Farming
For years, Valtra has been synonymous with easy-to-use smart farming technology. Now, they’ve shifted their focus to harnessing the power of data generated by their smart tractors to assist drivers in reducing idle time, ultimately improving fuel efficiency and lowering carbon emissions.
Fuel Efficiency at Your Fingertips
The Valtra Coach App is at the forefront of this initiative, helping tractor drivers enhance fuel efficiency by monitoring driving habits and providing real-time feedback in an engaging and informative manner. Tuomas Nevaranta, Valtra’s Product Management Director, emphasises the transformative nature of this app. “Valtra Coach represents a new direction in data-driven solutions for farmers. We know that, for many tractors, idle time contributes substantially to fuel consumption. Valtra Coach provides drivers with immediate, real-world insights based on their driving.”
How Valtra Coach Works
Utilising data collected through Valtra Connect, their telemetry system, the app illustrates to drivers where they may consume more fuel than necessary. By benchmarking this data against aggregated information, Valtra Coach monitors and rewards drivers for adjusting their driving style to reduce fuel consumption. By gamifying the monitoring and feedback process, the app makes efficient driving enjoyable and entertaining.
The Impact of Efficiency
In initial studies, Valtra estimates that reducing idle time by 12% for an operator driving their tractor for 5.2 hours per day could save over 330 litres of fuel annually. The potential impact on fuel efficiency and carbon footprint reduction is substantial.
The Road Ahead
Valtra Coach’s demo version debuted at Agritechnica on November 12, 2023. Valtra plans to release the application to the public in 2024, further solidifying its commitment to driving positive change in the agriculture industry.
