Kubota Corporation is investing €55 million in a new European tractor R&D centre. Located in Crépy-en-Valois, France, the new site will be the firm’s competence centre of engineering for farm tractors and the base for Kubota’s research activities in Europe.

Fully operational in 2020, the new R+D centre is expected to play an important role for Kubota plans to boost product development and develop new hi-tech models for the European market.
