Development of a Fuel Efficiency Monitoring Device by Ford Tractor Operations 851594
Fuel efficiency of an agricultural tractor is a systems consideration. An efficient powertrain can waste fuel if it is not used properly. Ford Tractor Operations developed a Fuelminder to inform the operator of the fuel use and efficiency of his tractor and as a guide to improve its operation. Operators who evaluated this display module thought they could save fuel by using the information obtained.
