Valtra organises a design competition for customers

06.02.2012

The competition is open to readers of these publications, farmers, contractors, students and others interested in tractors.

Participants are invited to present their ideas, big and small, about how to improve today’s tractors. The best ideas will be awarded with products from the Valtra Collection. The two best ideas from each country will be invited as guests to the Valtra Engineering Centre along with representatives of the publications. During the visit the winners will be able to express their opinions about Valtra’s future concepts and to further develop their own ideas together with the members of Valtra’s R&D team.

The competition begins at the start of February, and the last date for submissions is 30 April 2012. Based on the proposals received, Valtra will design a concept tractor that will be presented next autumn. The competition is being run through the publications, which will receive all the submissions. Valtra will be entitled to use the ideas without further compensation.

Valtra is the only tractor manufacturer in the Nordic region, and it manufactures tractors only on the basis of individual customer orders. Close co-operation with customers and other stakeholders in the industry is a vital part of Valtra’s R&D work. The design competition will mark the 30th anniversary of the launch of the pan-Nordic Volvo BM Valmet tractor series, which was also the forerunner of today’s Valtra tractors.
