The CLAAS Foundation is proud to support the 2026 International ¼ Scale Tractor Student Design Competition in Bloomington, Illinois, USA. This marks the second time the foundation has supported this event, which is organized by ASABE. This continued commitment highlights the Foundation’s dedication to supporting innovation and practical learning in agricultural technology.
This prestigious event brings together student teams from around the world to design, build, and test quarter-scale tractors for performance, durability, and efficiency.
Sylvia Looks, Executive Board Member of the CLAAS Foundation joined the IQS and also took the opportunity to visit the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). UNL is part of the CLAAS Foundation’s University Twinning Programme. The UNL team participated as well in the competition and achieved an outstanding second place overall!
By supporting this competition, the CLAAS Foundation encourages practical learning, innovation, and the development of future leaders in agricultural technology. We congratulate all teams on their dedication and impressive achievements!
