Preserving the environment

True to the Nordic tradition, Valtra puts great emphasis on the protection of the environment and our natural habitats. From production facilities to the development of new product features – we proactively seek ways to increase our environmental friendliness

How Valtra operations protect the environment

• The ISO 14001 environmental certification was granted to Valtra already in 2000. Environmental regulations have not been a burden to Valtra; instead we have been happy to comply with them.
• We make considerable investments to improve our ecofriendliness. Recent investments include green heat energy produced from burning waste wood and an air cleaning unit that burns solvent steam from the chassis painting unit.
• We put great emphasis preserving natural resources by reducing waste and recycling. Factory waste is sorted into 26 different groups and there have been successful initiatives to reduce printouts and do away with disposable tableware.

How Valtra features protect the environment
Efficient and economical operations are usually also environmentally friendly. Valtra's innovations and unique product features help our customers operate efficiently and in an ecofriendly way. Here are just some examples:

• EcoPower engines, EcoSpeed transmissions and lightweight structures increase the tractors' efficiency.
• The possibility of using biodiesel and low engine idle speeds help preserving natural resources.
• Automatic steering limits overlap and underlap, which in turn reduces the amount of driving overall.
• The TwinTrac reverse drive system allows the tractor to be used in more ways, which reduces the need to manufacture or purchase redundant machinery.
