Transmission:
Valtry has tried Fendts CVT, but they cant cope with cold –25C conditions.
So Valtra is developing a better solution that uses the engine power better and can be used under any hot summer/cold winter conditions. Launch 2008.
“We found that CVT transmissions do not work as well in colder climates, and when you consider that Nordic areas form a very important part of our tractor business we have to get it right. I can confirm that we are very close to a solution and see possibilities to use such a transmission in our tractors in the future."
“Valtra’s own continuously variable transmission that it has designed in-house. Both the new S Series and the new CVT transmission will be launched in 2008.”
