The driverless Valtra T254 Versu tractor smashed the record for removing snow with an autonomous tractor on a closed road in the south of Finland while reaching a phenomenal speed of 73.171km/h (45.466mph).

The Valtra T254 Versu was awarded the title Tractor of the Year 2018 at Agritechnica last November.

This is the second world record that has been set in a joint effort by Nokian Tyres and Valtra.
