Escorts has entered into a Joint Venture (JV) with Rajkot based Amul Group for manufacturing specialty tractor - Steeltrac. Escorts had joined hands with Amul Industries in 2012 for development & distribution of Steeltrac, a highly successful speciality tractor.
Steeltrac is a specialised tractor which is complimentary to general purpose tractors which can efficiently facilitate operations like inter-weeding for farmers growing row-crops such as groundnut, cotton and sunflower. Steeltrac will additionally revolutionize by mechanizing local, short distance haulage in the country. The market for specialised tractors has been growing tremendously and this strategic investment will further enhance Escorts' commitment towards bringing a wider range of products to Indian farmers.
Escorts offer a comprehensive range of tractors with more than 45 variants starting from 25 to 80 HP. The company also manufactures and markets a diverse range of equipments like cranes, loaders, vibratory rollers and forklifts.
