“VarioTakt” allows all Fendt tractor series to be built on one assembly line on one customer-specific assembly line thanks to variable line speeds. This enables Fendt to react quickly and flexibly to current market requirements, but the concept also ensures that the operators’ work load remains constant. Thanks to the launch of “VarioTakt”, efficiency can be increased appreciably.

It will be interesting to see what innovations AGCO/Fendt and other companies bring to the table next year in June at the 29th German Assemblers’ Convention.
