The financing of R$ 129 million approved by BNDES for CNH Industrial Brazil brings together eight research, development, and innovation projects focused on harvesters, tractors, planters, and the nationalization of components, impacting the modernization of agriculture, the industry in Piracicaba, and the generation of direct and indirect jobs

BNDES approved financing of R$ 129 million for CNH Industrial Brazil, focusing on research, development, and innovation projects aimed at creating and improving agricultural machinery in the country. The operation is part of the BNDES Mais Inovação program and concentrates efforts on equipment adapted to the conditions of the Latin American market, with priority for Brazil.

In total, the support includes eight strategic projects aimed at the development of harvesters, tractors, and input application equipment. The initiative seeks to keep pace with digitalization and precision agriculture, identified as central trends in the global agribusiness.

BNDES targets innovation in agricultural machinery

The investments supported by BNDES aim to increase operational efficiency in the field, reduce emissions, and meet regulatory requirements related to the carbon market and low environmental impact fuels. The operation was also structured to strengthen the national capital goods industry, enhance the competitiveness of agricultural production, and stimulate the supply chain.

Modernization of harvesters and accessibility

Another focus of BNDES financing involves the modernization of harvesters produced by CNH Industrial Brazil. The machines are expected to receive new electronic architectures, sensors, and automation systems capable of adjusting parameters in real-time.

The changes aim to reduce losses during harvesting, increase fuel consumption efficiency, and enhance the comfort and safety of the operator. The improvements may also expand the export potential of equipment manufactured in Brazil.

The financing also includes the development of a tractor adapted for operators with reduced mobility. The project envisions an integrated lifting system and adjusted controls, in line with accessibility standards.

Jobs, Piracicaba, and strengthening the industry

Another area supported by BNDES involves the adaptation of the industrial unit in Piracicaba, São Paulo, and the nationalization of strategic components. This measure seeks to strengthen the local industry and reduce external dependence in relevant stages of production.

CNH estimates the creation of 360 direct jobs throughout the project, with half of the positions during the implementation phase and half after completion. The company also projects around 1,080 indirect jobs during the execution and operation stages.

The investments reinforce technological innovation as one of the pillars for advancing productivity in the field and adapting the sector to new environmental and market demands. Thus, BNDES expands its role in supporting the development of agricultural machinery and strengthening the national production chain.
