Creating a great deal of enthusiasm at Agritechnica, the T5.120 ‘Il Trattore’ styling concept tractor was celebrating the legacy of research and development, engineering, and design expertise, with the concept bearing a striking green and red colouring and styling inspired by the original first Fiat tractor, the Fiat 702 and the ‘Made in Italy’ logo.
The Il Trattore name is said to signify the importance of streamlined technology that defines the general-purpose tractor which can take on any task, the essence of that first Fiat tractor and of today’s T5 range.
The iconic 702, one of the earliest mass-produced tractors, was developed to address the labour shortages created by World War I, featuring a fourcylinder engine and loadbearing power to meet the demand for mechanical power to ease physical strain and improve agricultural output.
After the 702’s launch in 1918, Fiat continued to innovate, producing iconically styled tractors such as the Piccola of the 1950s. In the 1970s and 1980s, Fiat demonstrated how style could enhance engineering substance, developing the 80 and 90 series in collaboration with renowned Italian styling house Pininfarina. This design philosophy continued through the 1990s into the era of Fiatagri – as the Fiat agricultural business had become – right through until it eventually evolved into today’s New Holland brand.
