The joint research project ,,Efficient fuel use in agricultural technology‘‘ (EKoTech), which
started in 2016, has the objective to identify strategies and technologies proposing an increase of energy efficiency thus reducing fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions. The holistic approach is to define potentials by analysing entire agricultural process chains. The aim is to derive ecommendations for owners, users and manufacturers of agricultural machinery. One tool being used to meet the project’s challenges is the Hohenheim Tractor Model for calculating absolute fuel consumption. It is developed further and therefore has to be enhanced by validated implement models. These models have to be adapted for fitting the project requirements. This paper thereby outlines a method for simulating machines and machine combinations. As an advancement of the simulation model according to Schreiber [1], first approaches are discussed for the tyre-soil model. This concerns the demand for reproducing large tyres of today’s technology and dimensions.
