New Holland is celebrating the production of two million tractors from its Basildon plant, in the same year the factory reaches its 60th anniversary.
The two millionth tractor was a 225hp T7.225, finished with a celebration livery of candy blue body panels, New Holland silver and black graphics with the Union Jack flag and a 2,000,000 Basildon Tractors logo.
“This is a major milestone in the life of our Basildon plant, and a mark of both the dedication of our skilled employees here and the loyalty of our customers worldwide, to whom we are extremely grateful,” said Carlo Lambro, New Holland brand president.
“From the tractors of 1964 to those of today, we have come a long way in capability, capacity and technology, allowing our customers to farm more efficiently. What is unchanged, though, is our commitment at Basildon and across the whole of our business to continue developing the technology our customers need to sustainably power their farms into the future.”
The two millionth tractor will make special appearances during forthcoming events in the UK and will then be displayed in the Customer Centre at Basildon.
