They let you in the development of cars for the farmers. What made you do that?

Tatra cars are primarily intended for off-road or for mixed terrain combined transport – road. Such operation is not only in the extraction of any kind, but also in agriculture. Farmers harvested corn or potatoes, and next goes another tractor that pulls the trailer mass. When full, the tractor it pulls down the road somewhere, which is uneconomical, slow and brings a lot of limitations. Beautiful would therefore be if there was a vehicle on the road will act as tractor-trailers, and also would be able to ride through the fields and destroying the land. One customer ordered from USA gigantic trailers and come to us if we could adjust the tractor with six drive wheels so that it can move as needed on agricultural land.

What would be the benefit for Tatra?

The car would help us to bridge the fluctuations of the business cycle. For example, the construction industry is now in a severe downturn, a great impact on us. In contrast, agriculture is no great loss not experience.

When you calculate the mass production of cars for the farmer?

We are currently finalizing the production of the second prototype. Cars ordered a Moravian farm. If both vehicles this summer certify next year we would like to launch serial production. We do not think that the tractor is driven out of the fields, but it will be an interesting alternative. Saving fuel when driving on the road add to the tens of percent.

These include enterprise and even polygon?

Yes, and capitalize on each other. Tested here such as car brands Land Rover and Skoda, tested here also Iveco buses and Solaris.
