Solar Driven Agricultural Utility Vehicle
In India, over 50% of the population relies on agriculture for their livelihood. Traditional farming methods, such as ploughing and seed sowing, are labor-intensive and time-consuming. Although mechanized equipment is available, it is often unaffordable for small-scale farmers. This paper presents the design and fabrication of a low-cost, multi-purpose agricultural utility vehicle, aimed at simplifying tasks like sowing, seeding, spraying, and land leveling, making farming more efficient and accessible for small-scale farmers. Hence presents solar-driven agricultural utility vehicles as a comprehensive solution to enhance sustainability, productivity, and economic viability in farming practices. By adopting these vehicles, farmers can achieve a triple benefit: minimizing environmental impacts, boosting operational efficiency, and supporting rural development. This, in turn, contributes to a more resilient and sustainable agricultural sector, paving the way for a brighter future in farming.
