Service Dealer reported in May 2021 how Claas had also invested in the company.

Amazone say they now become a strategic partner with the aim to further develop their mounted implements for autonomous use in the field. Through the partnership between AgXeed, Claas and Amazone, the companies believe they will be able to find the autonomous solution that fits each customer the best.

In an official statement, Amazone said, "The autonomous platforms from AgXeed are an ideal match to the Amazone product range. The combination of minimal ground pressure, optimised weight distribution and flexible mounting zones open up new possibilities for independently constructing intelligent solutions for arable farming.

"The tracked AgBot has already been used very successfully in conjunction with Amazone cultivation and seeding equipment in recent years. In addition to cultivation and seeding, the new 4-wheeled AgBot can also be used with Schmotzer hoeing systems for mechanical weed control."
