German agricultural machinery manufacturer Claas has invested in a Dutch robotic start-up company to step into the autonomous tractor market. Claas recognises the farming industry must further increase productivity in the decades ahead to meet the needs of a growing global population. Claas says that collaborating with and investing in AgXeed marks a logical step towards future-proof technologies. Thomas Bock, CEO of the Claas Group, said: “Our involvement provides Claas with access to innovative technologies in a familiar market segment and complements our own expertise in autonomy and robotics. AgXeed will be bringing its autonomous AgBot to fields, pastures and specialty crops alongside a full suite of vehicle peripherals.
