CLAAS is enhancing driver comfort and reducing driver workload on the XERION 12 large tractors with a range of technical innovations. The focus is on further optimising power train management, the introduction from the second half of 2026 of the Vehicle Control Unit from system partner AgXeed for driver-monitored Autonomy, even simpler operation and maintenance, and even greater comfort in the cab. In addition, the TERRA TRAC crawler track units have been further optimised for service life and operating costs. 

CLAAS, through its Corporate Venture Capital unit Seed Green Innovations, has made a strategic investment in Pheno-Inspect, a German AgTech startup specializing in AI-driven, image-based agronomic field analysis. The pioneering technology enables a significant acceleration of data-driven processes in agriculture.

One year after opening a new prototype workshop, CLAAS yesterday inaugurated two new assembly lines at its Metz-Woippy baler site. This investment is essential for the production of new baler series, such as the CEREX round baler and the next-generation square baler CUBIX, Innovation Award winner in Gold at Agritechnica 2025. It sets up the manufacturing site for future growth in balers.
