Valtra Launches Unlimited G5 CVT Packages
Part of the AGCO stable, Valtra is reinforcing its customisation strategy in the utility tractor segment with the launch of Unlimited G5 CVT packages.
Valtra has won a major international design award for its tractor SmartTouch armrest and interface between operator and machine.
The company had already scooped Tractor of the Year and Machine of the Year 2018 awards.
Now the SmartTouch has been singled out on its own merits, winning the IF Design Award that drew 6400 entries from 54 countries for judging by 63 experts.
Designed and manufactured in Finland and launched in 2017, the SmartTouch is said to break new ground in operator ease-of-use; all controls on the armrest are logically positioned and within easy reach.
Also noted were the product’s ergonomics, clarity of the display and the choice of materials to ensure operator comfort and durability.
The layout has a nine-inch touch screen at the front of the armrest, an integrated drive lever and a dedicated hydraulic control joystick.
