Introduction
The document discusses the challenges and solutions in biomass logistics, particularly focusing on the transportation of silo maize for bio-gas plants. The NawaRo-Maus concept by ROPA addresses these challenges by optimizing the logistics between field and road transport.

Challenges in Biomass Logistics
1. Insufficient transport capacities during maize harvesting.
2. High transportation costs with agricultural trailers over long distances.
3. Legal requirements for commercial permits for trailers.
4. Inefficiencies in loading trucks directly in the field.

NawaRo-Maus Solution
The NawaRo-Maus concept bridges the gap between field transport and road logistics by:
1. Using ground-protecting trailers to pile chaff at the field edge.
2. Loading trucks with a loader from the pile, allowing for efficient road transport.
3. Achieving a loading capacity of up to 15 m³ per minute.
4. Reducing transport costs by 50% for distances over 20 km.
5. Enhancing soil protection and reducing road contamination.

Operational Advantages
1. Continuous operation without stopping the chaff cutter.
2. Even distribution of maize to silo facilities over 24 hours.
3. Reduced traffic and noise at silo facilities.
4. Ability to operate under adverse weather and soil conditions.
5. Improved public perception of agricultural practices.

Technical Specifications
1. Pickup system: 8.00 m wide with hydraulic height guiding.
2. Loading capacity: Up to 900 m³/h.
3. Overloading height: Up to 6.00 m.
4. Engine: Mercedes Benz diesel engine with 220 kW/299 hp.
5. Dimensions: Length 13.35 m, width 3.00 m, height 4.00 m.
6. Weight: 21,000 kg.
7. Tyres: 710-75 R34.
8. Additional features: Central lubrication, climate control, and data export via USB.

Conclusion
The NawaRo-Maus offers a comprehensive solution for efficient biomass logistics, enhancing safety, efficiency, and environmental balance while improving the public image of agriculture.
