CNH announced Jan. 17 the latest phase in its 5-year investment plan concerning its R&D and production facility in Zedelgem, Belgium. The €150 million ($162.8 million) sum is focused on further development and production of the new CR11, the next generation flagship combine harvester from our New Holland brand. This next phase will result in a completely redesigned assembly line and logistics area.

The improvements include modifications to the assembly line to enhance agility and speed, the renovation and extension of the logistics area; and the introduction of the all-new CR11 range with 7,000 new parts being added to the manufacturing logistics area.
