Tech focus: John Deere drive takes top awards at FIMA fair

John Deere innovations have been recognised at the recent FIMA fair in Zaragoza, Spain and the Fieragricola 2016 event in Verona, Italy — just reward for the company’s US$1.425 billion annual spend on research and development, or 5.1% of John Deere equipment sales.

The FIMA technical committee classified three John Deere systems as outstanding innovations and rated seven concepts as technical innovations, while another system received a special mention.

The Fieragricola jury classified four John Deere innovations as outstanding technical solutions.
