Trecker Talk at AVL: Discussing the Future of Agricultural Technology
  • News
Opening of AVL Tech Center Steyr

When AVL Tech Center Steyr officially opened in April 2025, Trecker Talk was already part of the story. Now, around one and a half years later, the conversation returns to Steyr to explore how agricultural machinery, off-road vehicle technology and development priorities have evolved.

In the upcoming Trecker Talk podcast episode, agricultural technology experts Dieter Dänzer and Ilja K. T. Führer from NITT join our experts Johannes Roth (Director Product & Business Development Off-Road / Engineering) and Harald Bauer-Allram (Head of International Accounts Commercial Vehicles / Testing). Together, they discuss the trends, technologies and development priorities shaping the future of agricultural and off-road machinery.
