The story

Until 2003, Renault Agriculture was a division of the French automotive manufacturer Renault and a major tractor brand, both in France and in many other countries. Thousands of Renault tractors were put to use in the fields of French and international farmers and proved their worth as key tools for several generations of farmers until the early 2000s. In 2003, Renault Agriculture was sold to the CLAAS Group.

The story

History means experiences and stories. It means good times and bad times, golden years and years of crisis. CLAAS Tractor brings together these stories in multiple ways, starting in Le Mans, a city whose earliest records date back over 2,000 years and which has become famous for its 24 Hours of Le Mans. CLAAS Tractor brings together two companies, each with its own rich tradition, which shaped the world of agricultural technology since the early 20th century and merged into a single group in 2003: Renault Agriculture, for decades the leader in the French tractor market, and CLAAS, the world market leader for foragers and European market leader for combine harvesters. Since CLAAS took over Renault Agriculture in 2003, CLAAS Tractor has written its own, exciting success story.
