TAFE tractors: built with innovation
TAFE is not new to awards. It was the first Indian tractor manufacturer to win Frost & Sullivan Global Manufacturing Leadership Award 2018, after all.
This award is given to manufacturers who are driving profound progress and development across the sector, with TAFE taking an ingenious approach to designing tractors capable of traversing various agricultural environments.
This approach will grow even more important as farmers have to face the environmental and ecological shifts of climate change.
Weather conditions, soil density and crop numbers have heightened unpredictability moving forward and manufacturers must help farmers meet and prepare for this difficult reality.
TAFE is doing so, expanding its operations to:
- Six tractor plants
- One engine plant
- Two gears and transmission components plants
- Two engineering plastics units
- Facilities for hydraulic pumps and cylinders
- A batteries plant
This diverse manufacturing capability has enabled TAFE to innovate across tractor production, design and engineering.
3,500 engineers strong and with a 60-year history of defining tractor standards this manufacturer continues to impress with its strong R&D commitments.
A core value of TAFE is innovation, with the company leveraging sophisticated technology to address three areas of focus.
