The new Romanian tractor will be launched at the INDAGRA agricultural trade show in Bucharest (October 31 – November 4) and will come with 85 to 105 HP engines.
Mircea Eugen Oltean, the owner of the farm and forest equipment maker IRUM Reghin and the entrepreneur who revived the Romanian tractor making industry, is therefore seeing his dream come true almost two decades after taking over the company and having invested more than EUR25 million.
“This year when Romania celebrates its 100th anniversary we will launch the first 100% Romanian tractor, designed and built by our engineers. Production will begin next year and we will make 500 units in the first year and the capacity will increase depending on demand,” Mircea Eugen Olteanu, CEO of IRUM Reghin, told ZF Transilvania.
As for the price of such tractors, the Reghin entrepreneur said it would be competitive.
