Vehicle Having Pantograph End Adaptor and an Auto-Steering Guidance System

A work vehicle comprising:

• a frame including a cab;
• a plurality of wheels that are rotatable relative to the frame;
• an electrical system associated with an electric motor configured to drive one or more of the wheels;
• a pantograph assembly mounted to the frame and movable relative to the frame between a stowed position and a deployed position, wherein the pantograph assembly includes a current-collecting rail including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a top surface extending between the first end and the second end, and a bottom surface, the current-collecting rail being configured to slidingly contact an overhead wire and transmit electrical current from the overhead wire to the electrical system when the pantograph assembly is in the deployed position, and wherein the current-collecting rail is electrically disconnected from the overhead wire when the pantograph assembly is in the stowed position;
• and
• an end adapter attached to one of the first end and the second end of the current-collecting rail, wherein the end adapter is configured to maintain a contact area on or above the current-collecting rail with the overhead wire.
