IRUM Reghin unveils 100% Romanian tractor TAGRO
Reghin-based IRUM plant launched the TAGRO tractor, following a total investment of over EUR6 million. It is the first 100% Romanian tractor produced after a 10-year break in the profile industry.
The TAGRO project was carried out at the Research and Development Center for Agricultural and Forestry Machines (IFOR), which operates in Reghin. The center was established by the group of firms Maviprod, within the IRUM factory, and entailed an investment of EUR2.65 million.
Some 50 Romanian engineers worked on the project.
The investment in materializing the TAGRO project also engulfed EUR4 million from IRUM’s shareholder, namely, the Maviprod group.
The tractor mainly targets small and medium-sized farms and will be sold both locally and abroad. Before launch, the tractor was tested in Romania and Italy.
Mass production will start in April 2019 and IRUM Reghin management expects to produce and sell 200 tractors during the first year, to overshoot the 300-tractor mark in 2020 and to reach 500 TAGRO tractors in 2021.
