The rapid increase of fuel prices, as well as production costs lead farmers to look for ways to reduce costs. Soil treatment operations are the highest fuel consumption operations, often exceeding 50% of total fuel consumption. This in combination with the social need of environmental friendly agriculture, makes farmers to look for ways to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. In addition, high yields of crops are related to the quality of soil treatment, which provides the environment for seed germination and the development of the root system.

EFFiTiLL will develop an innovative, complete and ready for the market system that will contain already existing but optimized methods, of data collection, software and sensors based on the market needs. The innovation of EFFiTiLL, is that it will use the GUTD (Gear-Up Throttle-Down) methodology combined with the analysis of all working forces (pulling force, vertical and lateral force) during the treatment to achieve fuel reduction up to 50%. It will be applicable also at older tractors that do not have electrical equipment. The mobile software will be used as an Operator Control Unit (OCU) to act as an operator's cabin information board.
