The Comparison of the Exhaust Emissions from an Agricultural Tractor and a Truck

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper discusses the issues of exhaust emissions from farm tractors most frequently used for transport of loads. Transport is an integral part of food manufacturing at almost every stage of the product life cycle. Ready-to-eat food very often needs processing; it often incorporates transport of half products to appropriate facilities. The transport between the processing facilities and the distribution of food products is carried out by typical road vehicles i.e. heavy and light trucks. In the case of agricultural produce it is very often the farm tractors with appropriate trailer sets that are used for transport. The paper presents a comparison of the exhaust emissions and fuel consumption from a farm tractor and a truck. The tests were performed under actual operating conditions in real traffic. For the tests the authors used PEMS equipment (Semtech by Sensors). Both vehicles covered the same route with the same load.
