Leading firms and corporations - manufacturers of agricultural machinery (hereinafter referred to as companies) develop, produce, and then offer tractor models on the market in the form of construction series combining up to 40-55 models. The largest companies produce not only tractors, but also sets of agricultural machines for them, as well as entire technological complexes for processing and harvesting one or another crop. Thus, these companies act on the markets with their own product programs, which include the construction series of tractors as the most important component (Deere & Co, Case, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, etc.).
Each construction series includes several (up to 10) series (families) of tractor models, identical in purpose, differing in engine power. The basis of each such family is unified aggregates and units - engines, transmissions, front and rear axles, hydraulic suspension systems, cabins, electrical equipment and other aggregates.
The tractors of the construction series have a single stylistic solution of the cabin and external structure, which is a trademark. The construction series is characterized by a high saturation of models, especially in the range of small and medium capacities, which is explained by the increased demand for tractors of these capacities. The redundancy of models is especially noticeable in the design series of companies that were formed by merging companies that previously had their own design series (for example, the Case New Holland Company). Design series are built according to engine power and tractor weight, series - according to engine power, the gradation of which is determined by the number of engine cylinders and the possibility of forcing it with the help of low or high turbocharging. Often, the models of the series, and especially the series, have very little difference in engine power, which, with the redundancy of a number of models, allows companies to meet the demands of the maximum number of consumers for tractor performance and fuel consumption in competitive conditions.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
