Leader PF Full Electric is designed to make use of the electricity that farms produce in large quantities through photovoltaic or cogeneration plants, and at extremely low cost. At the same time, the machine produces no pollutant emissions, thus reducing the environmental impact of the farm. The use of electrical technology also promotes animal welfare and enables certification of the production chain.

The performance of the new Leader PF Full Electric was the starting point for the project. Faresin engineers worked hard to deliver performance comparable to the corresponding diesel models, with enough autonomy to complete at least a full working day on a medium-sized farm. A lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) battery was therefore installed in the rear engine compartment, integrated with Farmatics telematics for remote monitoring.
Battery charging is done with complete flexibility thanks to the Universal Charge system, a single plug-in interface for 220V single-phase and 400V three-phase supplies. The machine also has a system that recovers energy during braking and accelerator release by storing it in the battery and increasing its range.
The characteristic geometry of the mixing tub, combined with the special profile of the auger, makes it possible to quickly prepare homogeneous mixes while respecting the organoleptic properties of the fiber. The electric motor, connected to the robust planetary gearbox, guarantees the right power necessary for all types of mixtures thanks to the 8 mixing speeds, which allow you to adapt the machine’s performance to the recipe.
Traction is provided by a 70 hp electric motor mounted in the rear axle, which also drives the front axle through a driveshaft. The system has two mechanical gears, shifted while stationary: first gear = 0–6.2 mph. Maximum travel speed is 15.5 mph for single-auger models and 12.4 mph for twin-auger models.
The integrated electronic management controls the distribution of power to the various organs, which is dosed as needed to the various utilities, so as not to overload the battery, motors, and inverters, significantly reducing consumption.
In addition, the entire system is monitored by diagnostics that affect all electrical, electronic, and hydraulic parts, including the control instrumentation in the cabin.
Unlike some electric solutions on the market without a silage cutter, Faresin has equipped the new Leader PF Full Electric with a powerful electrically driven cutter, 6 ft 7 in wide, allowing the machine to load the ingredients of the ration independently.
The special shape of the cutter ensures fast flow to the loading channel, respecting the structure and properties of silage, while the reversible knives remove material quickly and accurately. It is also equipped with an automatic anti-clogging system that, in case of clogging, automatically intervenes on the cutter control and immediately restores its operation.
The PF cab, which has always been a strong point of Faresin self-propelled vehicles, allows the operator to work in a position of absolute control, thanks to large glass surfaces and excellent visibility. Onboard controls are ergonomically arranged to intuitively manage all machine functions.

Nella proposta progettuale il team R&D Faresin sarà impegnato in attività di ricerca industriale e sviluppo sperimentale. Le stesse saranno portate a termine mediante l’apporto intellettuale di tecnici interni all’azienda, avvalendosi del supporto di specialisti esterni, tra gli altri: Service Group R&D, dell’Università degli studi di Padova. Il progetto è stato sostenuto dal Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy attraverso la concessione di un contributo diretto alla spesa pari a 1.960.732 € e di un finanziamento a tasso agevolato pari a 1.386.222 €.
Puntualmente, le finalità di progetto si riassumono nei seguenti punti:
• massimizzazione del benessere dell’animale: precision feeding, benessere dell’ambiente stalla;
• elettrificazione dei sistemi di propulsione per carri miscelatori;
• farm del futuro:
• sviluppo della guida autonoma per i carri di miscelazione
• sviluppo di un MES per la gestione del processo: precision farming
• implementazione del calcolo della carbon footprint di processo in real-time analizzata in tempo reale e riferita al litro di latte prodotto
Le attività prevedranno tutti gli step necessari alla realizzazione di una nuova gamma di prodotto: dalla fattibilità, alla progettazione, alla realizzazione e test, una pluralità di work packages sono volti alla realizzazione e validazione di prototipi di carro miscelatore, full electric, anche con guida autonoma e con features digitali che porteranno alla rivoluzione delle attuali pratiche operative del settore di riferimento.
Infine, il progetto rispetta il principio DNSH (“Do No Significant Harm”), di cui all’articolo 17 del regolamento (UE) 2020/852 del Parlamento europeo e del Consiglio, del 18 giugno 2020. La quantificazione dell’impatto ambientale associato alle soluzioni sviluppate nel corso del progetto agevolato viene condotta facendo ricorso a strumenti di LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) grazie alla collaborazione con la società Service Group R&D.
