100,000th CLAAS TRACTOR Rolls off the Le Mans production line
The 100,000th CLAAS tractor has rolled off the assembly line at their tractor factory in the French city of Le Mans.
Over 100,000 CLAAS tractors have been sold, from the first ATLES 900 up to the latest model, the AXION 800
In Le Mans, up to 13,000 tractors are developed and built annually - from the AXOS 310 to the largest standard CLAAS tractor, the 410hp AXION 950.
"We work consistently and in close collaboration with farmers and farm contractors on continued technical development for our tractors, for which we have invested €400 million since 2003 in our Research and Development and Tractor Production departments", explains CLAAS Group executive board member Lothar Kriszun, responsible for the Tractors business segment.
"Since entering the tractor business in 2003, CLAAS has not only produced an impressive 100,000 tractors, but more importantly has been constantly expanding its expertise and product range. Thirty-four models have been developed based on the requirements of those who actually use the tractors, from 72 to 524 hp and all tailored to modern agriculture."
