Alessio Cadalora, industrial designer at Caixin Netherlands, said: 'When designing the T7 standard wheelbase, our goal was to give the tractor a powerful and recognizable image, reflecting both strength and precision.'. We have transformed the smooth and dynamic lines into the profile of the tractor based on the design language of 'connecting flow' in the combine harvester.
As the design extends forward, these flowing forms become sharper and more confident, expressing energy, control, and technical confidence. The final presentation presents a bold, modern, goal oriented, and precise design, while still maintaining the unique identity of New Holland. ”
