CNH Industrial inaugurates new TechPro² training program for the agricultural equipment industry in China

CNH Industrial has a long history in China which dates back to the beginning of the 20^th century, when the first tractors were imported to the Heilongjiang Province.

The offering of its two agricultural brands, Case IH and New Holland Agriculture, covers the entire agricultural production cycle - from planters and sprayers to tractors, balers and combine harvesters – and includes specialized equipment such as cotton pickers and sugarcane harvesters. 

In China, Case IH is a market leader in a variety of segments such as large tractors, mid and large rotary combines, sugarcane harvesters and self-propelled sprayers, while New Holland Agriculture is a market leader in the tractors and hay and forage equipment markets.

CNH Industrial's manufacturing footprint in China currently counts three plants operating in the agricultural sector: the Harbin industrial complex for tractors, combine harvesters balers and planters, and two assembly plants: in Urumqi for cotton pickers and in Foshan for sugarcane harvesters. Both its agricultural brands operate a Research & Development centre in Shanghai and Harbin.

In the powertrain sector, CNH Industrial is present with the FPT Industrial brand and its joint venture SFH. It also operates two Research & Development centers, in Chongqing and Shanghai.

FPT Industrial offers engines from 2.2 to 20 liters with a power range from 31 to 740 kW for on-road vehicles, agricultural and construction equipment, marine and power generation applications, as well as transmissions and axles for on- and off-road applications.

SFH manufactures light, medium, heavy vehicle engines for on- and off-road applications as well as power generation at its plant in Chongqing.

The Iveco brand was the first foreign commercial vehicle manufacturer to enter the Chinese market in the 1980s. Today it holds a leading position among foreign players in the country. CNH Industrial has 2 joint ventures in China: NAVECO for the light line, which runs two manufacturing operations in Nanjing, and SIH for the heavy line, which has manufacturing plants in Chongqing and Shuangqiao. Both joint ventures operate Research & Development centers on their sites.

CNH Industrial in the community

CNH Industrial's commitment to sustainability spans several activities in China. The Company supports projects and activities that encourage economic, social and cultural development within the community, directly and through partnerships with local institutions or organizations operating in the social sphere.

In addition to its training projects with TechPro², which support the professional and social development of young people, CNH Industrial runs a variety of programs.

In the agricultural field, CNH Industrial launched a joint educational cooperation project in 2009 with Heilongjiang Agricultural Engineering Vocational College to provide training to local students and introduce them to the latest agricultural practices. In 2014, the Company launched a Master of Engineering Program in cooperation with Northeast Agricultural University (NEAU) in the city of Harbin.
