The development of tractors and engines is challenged by the requirement to meet increasingly stringent emissions legislation while satisfying the end-user's demand for improved operating efficiency and fuel economy. This requires continuous improvement of existing powertrains, including transmission, and rear axle, and the development of new engine generations.
Professional product validation in preparation for high quality production is equally as important as the development of superior tractor and engine technology during the prototype phase. The development partner must know the powertrain business from concept through to start of production, integrating with vehicle development and production planning.
