| contents | <p>Air pollution from traditional fossil fuel-based engines has become a critical environmental and public health concern, contributing to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and environmental degradation. In India, tractors play a vital role in agriculture, with millions of units operating across diverse farming landscapes. However, most of these tractors run on diesel, which emits significant amounts of pollutants such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) offers a cleaner alternative fuel with lower emissions of harmful pollutants, making it an attractive option for reducing the environmental footprint of agricultural machinery. This paper presents the development of a tractor powered by CNG, highlighting its multiple advantages such as significant reduction in pollution and noise levels, along with enhanced cost efficiency. The CNG tractor is particularly well-suited for low horsepower (HP) tractor operations commonly used in agricultural settings. The engine's performance has been rigorously evaluated using advanced simulation software, including ANSYS, demonstrating excellent operational results. The study concludes that CNG-powered tractors provide an environmentally friendly and economical alternative to conventional diesel-powered tractors, supporting sustainable agricultural practices in India.</p> |
