Terrion tractors
Russian tractors aren’t seen much in the EU, but two Terrion models (177hp and 265hp) are due to go on sale in Germany next year. They’re made in a separate facility in the Kirowetz factory in St Petersburg but the design is done by Berlin-based firm ATM United Technologies.
Moreover many of the major components are sourced from household names – Tier 3 engines from Deutz, axles from Carraro, gearbox from ZF and hitch controls from Bosch.
Most of the Terrion output will go to the 100,000/year Russian market, but there’s also expected to be demand in the Europe for a straightforward machine with western technology but minimal electronics that will compete with the likes of Case New Holland and McCormick.
