Summary for Practicioners on the Main Finding(s)/Innovative solution(s)
The measures for reducing diesel consumption are very diverse, some are very easy to implement, while others only need to be considered when purchasing the next machine. However, all measures have one thing in common: the comprehensive knowledge of the farm manager and active implementation in practice are the prerequisites for successful fuel savings.
Regardless of whether you implement just one measure in your business or several – the fact is that every litre of diesel consumed unnecessarily has a negative impact on the carbon footprint and the economic results of your business. It is therefore very important to include fuel-saving solutions in your daily decision-making.
The greatest potential savings are:
⦁ 70-80 % E-mobility
⦁ 10-20 % Controlled traffic farming
⦁ 10-15 % Electric drives
⦁ 25-30 % Working width and working depth
⦁ 10-15 % Tyre pressure
⦁ 15-20 % Transmission
⦁ 15-20 % Engine
⦁ 5-10 % Maintenance
⦁ 5-10 % Ballasting
⦁ Taking a soil sample – your start for more vitality and efficiency in the field
Summary for Practicioners in Native Language
Die Maßnahmen zur Reduktion des Dieselverbrauchs sind sehr vielfältig, manche sind sehr einfach umzusetzen, andere wiederum erst beim nächsten Maschinenkauf zu berücksichtigen. Eines haben jedoch alle Maßnahmen gemeinsam: Das umfassende Wissen des Betriebsleiters und die aktive Umsetzung im praktischen Einsatz sind die Voraussetzung für erfolgreiches Spritsparen.
Egal ob Sie nur eine Maßnahme in Ihrem Betrieb umsetzen, oder aber mehrere – Fakt ist, dass jeder unnötig verbrauchte Liter Diesel negative Auswirkungen auf die Klimabilanz und das betriebswirtschaftliche Ergebnis Ihres Betriebs hat. Es ist daher von großer Bedeutung, treibstoffsparende Lösungen in die täglichen Entscheidungen miteinzubeziehen.
Die größten Einsparungspotentiale sind dabei:
⦁ 70–80 % E-Mobilität
⦁ 10–20 % Controlled Traffic Farming
⦁ 10–15 % Elektrische Antriebe
⦁ 25–30 % Arbeitsbreite und Arbeitstiefe
⦁ 10–15 % Reifendruck
⦁ 15–20 % Getriebe
⦁ 15–20 % Motor
⦁ 5–10 % Wartung
⦁ 5–10 % Ballastierung
⦁ Entnahme einer Bodenprobe – Ihr Start für mehr Vitalität und Effizienz am Acker
