n. 3-4/2023 15 le il design della parte posteriore dove spiccano i nuovi gruppi ottici a Led. Gli interventi di Italdesign si sono rivolti anche agli interni, rendendoli più spaziosi, con una visibilità ulteriormente migliorata». E visto che siamo in tema va ricordato che proprio il Tractor of the Year fin dal 1998 ha premiato i trattori con il miglior design. Una sezione dominata nel corso degli anni proprio dal gruppo Sdf, con i diversi marchi Deutz, Lamborghini e Same, ma dove ha trovato spazio un altro brand che del design e della personalizzazione del trattore è stato pioniere, Valtra. Oltre ai premi raccolti nel corso degli anni (vedi anche box) Valtra è stato il primo a proporre le colorazioni a scelta dell’utilizzatore e probabilmente ad andare oltre alle reali possibilità di sviluppo di quel tempo del trattore stesso. lutions, as well as intelligent propulsions and materials with a lower environmental impact. A niche, no doubt. But further proof of attention to the combination of aesthetics and functionality. And more. It is impossible not to mention the close relationship between the Sdf group and Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign. A close relationship since the 1990s that led to the design of the Antares, but which ten years ago, in 2013, found its acme with the Deutz-Fahr 7250 TTV, 'Tractor of the Year' of that year, a 238 hp in which - in the words of the Trattori magazine, organiser of the award - "the touch of Giugiaro is immediately noticeable when admiring the beautiful one-piece bonnet. The design of the rear end, where the new LED light clusters stand out, is remarkable. Italdesign's interventions also addressed the interior, making it more spacious, with even better visibility". And while we are on the subject, we mustremember that it is precisely the Tractor of the Year that has rewarded the tractors with the best design since 1998. A section that has been dominated over the years by the SDF group, with the various Deutz, Lamborghini and Same brands, but where another brand that has pioneered tractor design and customisation, Valtra, has also found its place. In addition to the prizes collected over the years (see also box) Valtra was the first to offer user-choice colours and probably went beyond the real development possibilities of the tractor itself at that time. It was 2011 when the Ant concept, an articulated tractor resembling the shape of an ant, came out of the Finnish factories. So 'beautiful' that it remained ... an exercise in style. Back in Italy, a few years ago Lombardy-based Bcs, pressing the button of functionality, took the Sky Jump out of its concept tractor guise and put it into production. An atypical tractor characterised by a dual configuration - rubber tyred front end and rubber tracked rear end - capable of giving the machine the same manoeuvrability as a classic tractor, and the same stability and traction as a tracked one. A hybrid setup, with a bold design, which on the one hand reduces the Valtra Serie N Straddle Tractor New Holland FOCUS
