Such developments have facilitated the manufacturer's next investment, a new engine family.

Announcinf the new project, AGCO Power CEO, Juha Tervala said: “The investment paves [the] way for the launch of production of a new engine family by the end of 2022.”

The new engine family, once completed, will serve the AGCO brands of Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Valtra more effectively and offer solutions to customers in the off-road machinery market in the future, according to Tervala.

Since 2019, upgrades to the AGCO plant include streamlining the production process, a new and expanded assembly plant and automated logistics centre as well as the overhaul of the plant's machining line. The fully automated machining line is said to enable flexible manufacturing of components in house and thus reduces costs while increasing control over production.

AGCO Power currently manufacturers engines at four plants globally, located in; Linnavuori (Finland), Changzhou (China), Mogi das Cruzes (Brazil), and General Rodriguez (Argentina).
