ARAM: A low emission vehicular contraption for sustainable form of agriculture

ARAM

Agriculture has been one of the major human activities that have been practiced over the millenniums for the sole purpose of sustaining life. In this regard, the fascinating scope of agriculture has expanded beyond just growing crops or husbanding animals. In fact, it is a crucial economic sector in itself, which employs about one-third of humanity. However, as with other important ‘industries’, this huge ambit does contribute to adverse environmental impacts all over the world. In relation to this, Brazilian industrial designer Gabriel Henrique Floss has come up with his electric powered agricultural equipment that insinuates a low emission side of affairs.

Envisaged as a vehicular system that helps in planting and harvesting of crops, the conception is named as ARAM. From the look of things, the mechanism seems simplistic enough to be used in the rural sector, by a significant part of our populace.

The unobtrusive contraption consists of a singular seat at the front, for the driver/farmer. Around this main ‘cockpit’ seat, there are horizontal panels affixed to the chassis, which can be used for carrying and storage of seeding trays or plastic boxes. This guileless set up has been designed so as to offer an optimized level of comfort and freedom to the farmer, especially during hot and humid morning conditions.

Finally, coming to the ‘green’ power train, the ARAM is equipped with four separate electric hub motors. An overhanging embedded with photovoltaic cells will be harnessing the clean solar energy required for powering the vehicle.

Now, given the bantam scope of the whole conception, we are not sure if it will have the sufficient maneuvering capacity or overall power for large scale agricultural activities. However, if a local ambit of horticulture is considered, the ARAM may yet just be the low emission solution for a uniquely sustainable form of cultivation and farming.
