The electrification of light, commercial and agricultural vehicles is essential for achieving a sustainable future, but it comes with unique challenges. These vehicles can be larger, heavier, and require more powerful batteries, leading to higher costs, longer charging times, and greater complexity in their design.
The power demand required for charging and operating these vehicles poses a significant burden on the power grid, and the infrastructure required to support them is not yet widespread. Additionally, the complexity and diversity of these vehicles make their electrification a unique challenge, requiring a tailored approach for each type of vehicle.
Despite these challenges, significant progress has been made in the electrification of these vehicles. With advancements in technology and infrastructure, we can expect to see more of these vehicles being electrified, leading to a cleaner, more sustainable future for all.
Our Avnet Silica experts are on hand to help you with your light, commercial and agricultural needs and challenges. Working closely with our market–leading suppliers, we offer technical and commercial guidance at every stage of your project.
The role of IVN in revolutionising Smart Farming
Agriculture has evolved significantly over the last decade, primarily driven by integrating advanced technologies into everyday farming practices. Traditional, manual methods are being replaced with automated systems that enhance efficiency and productivity. Among the most significant developments in this transformation is the rise of In-Vehicle Networking (IVN) technology — pivotal in modern farming, as it connects agricultural machinery and enables real-time, data-driven decision-making.
