Truck & Off-Highway Engineering - February 2023 - 29

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
The T4 Electric has an extensive array of
cameras and other sensors that give the
machine a view in 360 degrees, which is
important for safe autonomous operation.
means of control-to-tractor and tractorto-tractor
communication are used to
ensure operational continuity and safety.
The interface, which is essentially
common across all CNH Industrial autonomous
or driver-guidance machines,
is intuitive and easy to use without requiring
an experienced operator. " Our
focus is to make the technology on our
equipment so smart that the customer
can focus on the farm and let [us] take
care of the rest, " said chief digital product
officer Parag Garg.
In addition to the T4 Electric, the
company also showed other autonomous
solutions:
* Driver-assist harvesting allows the
driver of a combine to remotely coordinate
with a tractor pulling a grain cart,
which precisely follows along for a oneoperator
" unload on the go " solution.
* Driverless tillage on the Case IH tractor
and tillage platform uses technology
from Raven Industries, a CNH subsidiary,
to allow a farmer to plan and operate
precise runs from a tablet. The system
provides real-time data on the results
of the mission.
* Baler automation was demonstrated on
New Holland square balers, which use
lidar to scan the field in front of the tractor
for crop density, volume and direction.
The tractor and baler alter speed,
steering and baler settings to ensure
consistent and accurate crop feeding,
resulting in optimized bale shape and
TRUCK & OFF-HIGHWAY ENGINEERING
Much of the T4 and T7 tractors' autonomous capability came from the partnership with Monarch
Tractor, which just delivered its first production MK-V tractor to consumer No. 1. The Monarch tractor
uses real-time data to improve its effectiveness in field and vineyard work.
Case allows remote operation of multiple vehicles and real-time monitoring of both autonomous
and operator-assisted implements.
increased productivity. It also will be
offered on Case IH equipment.
Much of the T4 Electric's autonomous
technology originated at Monarch
Tractor, which licenses it to CNH
Industrial. Startup Monarch recently
began delivering its $70,000, 40-hp
(30-kW) continuous/70-hp (52-kW)
peak MK-V battery-electric tractor to
customers, which will typically work on
smaller farms and vineyards. Mark
Schwager, Monarch's cofounder and
president, said the model is sold out
through the third quarter of 2023.
