Prior to first joining CNH in January 2019, Marx worked for 20 years in senior roles at McKinsey, Daimler Trucks, and Bain Capital, living in Brazil, China, Europe and Japan.

CNH Industrial announced the appointment of Gerrit Marx to the role of CEO effective July 1, 2024. He succeeds Scott Wine, whose request to leave the Company at the end of the current three-year business plan cycle to pursue other interests, has been accepted by the Board. Marx rejoins CNH from Iveco Group where as CEO he has led that company’s drive into a new era of connectivity, integrating the latest digital and data technologies with Iveco’s product offering. He has also chaired Iveco’s powertrain business overseeing its transition to alternative propulsion systems. Prior to first joining CNH in January 2019, Marx worked for 20 years in senior roles at McKinsey, Daimler Trucks, and Bain Capital, living in Brazil, China, Europe and Japan.

During the more than three years of Wine’s tenure as CEO, CNH has become an agriculture and construction pure-play following the Iveco Group demerger and is now solely listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Among his achievements, Wine has delivered three straight years of record revenues and EBIT margins while overseeing the improved performance of the Company’s Agriculture segment, the turnaround of the Construction segment, and the 2021 acquisition of Raven Industries, the precision agriculture technology business. In this period the Company has more than doubled its R&D expenditures, launched ambitious margin improvement and value enhancement initiatives, and by May 2024 will have returned more than $3 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and share buybacks.

CNH’s Chair, Suzanne Heywood commented: “We’re delighted to welcome Gerrit back to CNH as CEO. We look forward to him bringing the same energy and focus he has demonstrated so effectively when leading Iveco, to his new role at a time when CNH is navigating the current end-market downcycle with an emphasis on managing inventory and costs, expanding margins, and harnessing the full potential of the newly established tech stack. On behalf of the Board, I would also like to thank Scott Wine for his leadership and considerable contribution to CNH’s progress in these years and wish him well in his future endeavors.”

With Marx’s appointment as the Company’s new CEO taking effect on July 1, 2024, the Board has decided that the Investor Day presentation scheduled for May 21, 2024, will be postponed to a later date to allow Marx to lead the Company’s planning and objectives for the next phase of its development. In the meantime, the Company’s first quarter financial results will be presented as planned in a conference call on May 2, 2024 by Mr. Wine, who will continue as the Company’s CEO until the end of June.

Marx returns to CNH from Iveco Group, succeeding Scott W. Wine who has decided to leave the Company having successfully overseen the delivery of the 2021 Business Plan.

Narinder Mittal, Country Manager & Managing Director, Agriculture Business – CNH Industrial India & SAARC, shares insights on India’s farm mechanisation industry with AgroSpectrum. Edited excerpts;

With renowned brands like Case IH and New Holland, CNH Industrial, a global leader in equipment and services, provides comprehensive agriculture solutions, including machinery, implements, and digital technologies. CNH has been at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge technology to farmers nationwide. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, CNH recently showcased agricultural machinery, including balers, combine harvesters, and tractors, at its Greater Noida facility. Narinder Mittal, Country Manager & Managing Director, Agriculture Business – CNH Industrial India & SAARC, shares insights on India’s farm mechanisation industry with AgroSpectrum. Edited excerpts;

How do you foresee the tractor and agriculture equipment business evolving in 2024?

Looking back at 2023, the tractor market experienced fluctuations, with growth in the first half followed by a softening of demand in the latter half of the year. In key regions like Maharashtra, and parts of Karnataka, particularly in the sugarcane farming belt, demand was lower. However, as we look ahead to 2024, the performance outlook is positive. Although the year may not witness a peak in growth, it is not expected to decline either. We anticipate growth to resume from the second half of 2024.

The agriculture sector plays a pivotal role in the overall economic growth. The Government of India has undertaken several initiatives, including the ambitious goal of doubling the income of farmers. This will not only help farmers achieve a better standard of living but also motivate them to contribute actively to their work. The agriculture sector is projected to contribute $600 billion to India’s GDP by 2030.

You have recently developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technology that enables tractor and agriculture equipment operators to work remotely. Do you believe that such technologies will revolutionise the Indian agriculture sector?

The adaptable Sense & Act application, developed by Augmenta and recently acquired by CNH, represents a significant advancement in AI technology. Initially integrated into intelligent sprayers, this is one example of the company’s AI technology that is built for after-market flexibility. It uses real-time sensors, camera vision, and AI capabilities to autonomously control precise application rates.

The ability for tractor and agricultural equipment operators to remotely conduct operations is undoubtedly a game-changer. It has the potential to significantly enhance productivity, reduce resource wastage, and propel mechanisation in Indian farming practices. While the technology is already primed for the global market, its integration into machines tailored for the Indian market may require some time. Various factors such as cost, infrastructure and the specific needs of farmers, must align to create a viable market. Nevertheless, the prospect of introducing such advanced and adaptable solutions holds immense promise for ushering in a new era of efficiency and sustainability in Indian agriculture.

Recently, there has been a surge in sales of balers in both small and large sizes. What factors are driving this increase, and do you have plans to commence manufacturing these balers in India?

While there is always an increase in demand for balers during the harvesting season, this year has seen a notable uptick, particularly in regions like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. This heightened demand can be attributed to the concerted efforts of both the government and the farming community to mitigate crop stubble burning, particularly during the critical harvesting months of October and November. The Centre has allocated Rs 600 crore to states for managing paddy straws. This includes its new initiative on ex-situ supply chain management ahead of the stubble burning season this year with a special emphasis on Punjab and Haryana. As a result, balers are experiencing increased adoption in these areas.

New Holland manufactures small balers at our Pune plant, with some of its components imported from the United States. We aim to achieve complete localisation of our baler production by the middle of this year.

What are your expansion plans for 2024, and how do you intend to implement them?

In 2024, our primary objective is to maximise the production capacity of our existing facilities. Our engine plant in Greater Noida in particular, has commenced pilot production, with full-fledged production of engines compliant with new emission norms set to begin by the end of the year.

Furthermore, we are ramping up production at our Pune facility to cater to the need for diverse agricultural gear across India. This expansion includes the launch of tractor assemblies for the 35–42 HP range, with an expected production of 10,000 units in the coming year. Additionally, we are bringing our small square baler production in-house at our Pune facility to boost productivity and meet the unique demands of the Indian market.

To further enrich our product portfolio, our Pune facility will focus on manufacturing Case IH sugarcane harvesters and New Holland combine harvesters. At the same time, our global technology centre in India, operational since March 2021, and spanning 680,000 square feet, is equipped with state-of-the-art features such as an invention centre, vehicle simulation capabilities, and a cutting-edge Extended and Virtual Reality (XR/VR) lab. With over 700 engineers dedicated to advancing precision technology, supported by satellite offices in Bangalore and Pune, we’re committed to driving innovation in the farm machinery industry.

Accessible farm tractor has been designed for people with lower limb disabilities, enabling them to work in fields independently.

New Holland Agriculture, a brand of CNH Industrial, has commercially launched the world’s first accessible farm tractor. The TL5 ‘Acessível’ (Accessible in Brazilian Portuguese), produced at the Brand’s plant in Curitiba (PR), has been designed for people with lower limb disabilities, enabling them to work in fields independently.

According to the 2019 National Health Survey, published by the Brazilian Ministry of Health together with the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Brazil has 17.3 million people over the age of two with some type of disability (8.4 per cent of this population), with 7.8 million having physical lower limb disabilities. Of the total number of people with a disability in Brazil, 2.9 million live in rural households.

“People with disabilities, including those who live and work in the countryside, want autonomy so they can carry out their activities independently. This is the main premise of inclusion. As a full-liner brand, whose portfolio meets the needs of small, medium and large producers, New Holland is further expanding its product range with the launch of the accessible tractor. It will help eliminate barriers that today make it impossible for many farmers to get on a machine”, says Eduardo Kerbauy, vice president of New Holland Agriculture for Latin America.

First presented as a concept tractor at Rural Coopavel and Expodireto Cotrijal in 2020 – two of the main agricultural fairs in the country – it met with both public and press acclaim. The final product has been created in partnership with the inclusive mobility company Elevittá, Arteprima and Senai from São Leopoldo (RS).

The development of the Accessible TL5 also involved the participation of a New Holland customer, who uses a wheelchair. “As a brand committed to improving overall customer experience, this accessible tractor emerged from the real needs of many farmers, and they played a fundamental role in the development of the final product. And safety was always at the forefront”, observes Flávio Mazetto, Director of Product Marketing for New Holland Agriculture for Latin America.
