Annotation: The hybridization of agricultural transport offers significant potential to reduce energy consumption and emissions, especially during low-speed operations and transportation. Implementing hybrid-electric drivetrains require thorough analysis of component compatibility and performance during various operating modes. To unify heavy-duty vehicle efficiency research and developement, a unified methodology was developed to evaluate and compare different powertrain types, including hybrids, using a standardized hybrid work cycle based on time-speed dependencies and load profiles. Using this cycle, efficiency tests were conducted on a 13-ton tractor equipped with a series hybrid-electric drivetrain and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), assessing energy performance in both fieldwork and transport scenarios.
