AGCO Reports 2025 Sales Decline but Expects Recovery in 2026
The parent company of Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Valtra – AGCO – reports lower net sales of around US10.1 billion in 2025, but forecasts a lift in 2026.
The award recognises engines that combine technological innovation, efficiency, performance and emissions compliance, highlighting solutions that significantly influence the global offhighway powertrain market.
One of the world’s leading developers and manufacturers of engines for off-road machines, it produces powerplants for AGCO’s Fendt, Valtra, and Massey Ferguson brands, as well as other off-road machines, including forestry equipment.
Developed and manufactured in Linnavuori, Finland, the engine is said to represent the most advanced technology in AGCO Power’s new Core engine family, with the company noting that its architecture also supports future powertrain technologies, including hybridisation and alternative fuels such as hydrogen.
The development and manufacturing of the CORE engine family has been a company-wide effort at AGCO Power, with close collaboration between production and engineering. As an example, engines developed together with Fendt saw the low RPM Core engines delivering high performance with low noise and exceptional drivability.
According to AGCO Power, with up to 1680Nm of torque, the Core80 is the most powerful engine in the family. Steel pistons and a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) deliver rapid response, strong engine braking and improved efficiency.
When deciding the winner, Powertrain International editor in chief Fabio Butturi, said, “Core80 represents exactly the kind of technical courage and innovation we wanted to highlight.”
While the Core80 is yet to be tested by the independent DLG institute, Core50 and 75 engines have proven to be the most fuel efficient and lowest emission machines in their class.
