The 44th edition of the Bologna-based EIMA event will host the Tractor of the Year awards ceremony and will feature a 'parade' of the fourteen finalist models in a new outdoor arena set up to present the competing machines. 
 
Organisers say EIMA International 2021 will focus on new products and offers a wide-ranging showcase for the Tractor of the Year competition that selects the best models produced during the year, awarding prizes to the winners in various categories.

An awards ceremony will be held for the winning four models - Tractor of the Year, Best Utility, Best of Specialised and Sustainable TOTY, The winners will be based on votes cast by an international jury of 26 journalists from trade publications.

However, organisers say the Tractor of the Year event is not limited to the award ceremony, as it will be a major attraction throughout the five days of the event. It will be one of the main new features of this edition of EIMA.

Within the exhibition complex, in the area between Halls 37 and 35, an open-air arena with grandstand, barriers and a green area will be set up to display the finalist tractors.

The fourteen models that competed for the "Tractor of the Year" award will also be on display in motion while their technical features are described by a speaker.

EIMA International 2021 takes place at the Bologna trade fair from 19 to 23 October.
