This had to be sent to Harsewinkel by post, as the pandemic meant that the festive award ceremony due to be held in in Berlin's Friedrichstadt Palace had to be cancelled.
The new LEXION appealed to the jury of the prestigious international design award in the "Product" category due to its optimum combination of ergonomics and design. The fully glazed cab, which gives the driver good all-round visibility, and the larger grain tank, which ensures higher productivity, were especially important factors in placing the LEXION at the top of the winners' podium. "The LEXION is the first CLAAS model with the company's unique Y design to receive such an honour," reports Alain Blind, who is responsible for the CLAAS design. "The 'Y' design is shared by all new self-propelled CLAAS machines and embodies their dynamism and power".
