This study presents a comprehensive exploration of medium-sized agricultural tractor electrification using the Autonomie vehicle simulation software. The research centers on assessing energy consumption and performance parameters during the electrification of powertrains. Initially, a detailed medium-sized agricultural tractor model is developed and validated. Extensive comparisons of energy consumption and component operating areas, based on fieldwork conducted by Chungnam National University, establish a robust foundation for the vehicle model. Additionally, alternative powertrain models, including series hybrid, fuel cell hybrid, and battery electric configurations, are systematically developed. These electrified powertrains aim to attain performance levels comparable to their conventional counterparts. Simulation outcomes reveal the promising potential of fuel cell hybrid and battery electric powertrains in reducing energy consumption and emissions. However, challenges related to operational efficiency and duration persist, indicating avenues for future research and development in the realm of agricultural electrification.
