CNH Industrial has teamed up with Leica Geosystems for machine control systems. Under the agreement with CNH, Leica Geosystems - a provider of design, measurement and visualisation technologies which specialises in machine control solutions for construction equipment - will initially provide Case and New Holland with machine control solutions for those machines in both factory fit and aftermarket applications.

This is expected to expand eventually to CNH?s entire construction product line-up. The engineering departments of both companies will jointly evaluate the development of products, which Leica Geosystems said was designed to maximise integration and performance of the CNH construction equipment portfolio.
